A new leak claims that a 10-inch Amazon Kindle Fire Tablet is already on its way.
The rumor came up after an unknown device running on Fire OS appeared on GFX Bench, as reported by Phone Arena.
Fire OS is Amazon's own version of Android, and only runs on a number of its tablets, and other devices, including the Fire Phone.
However, instead of making Amazon and Android fans excited, the leak may have caused them dismay, due to the midrange specs of the device.
In the report, the 10-inch Amazon Kindle Fire Tablet only has 1280 x 800 or HD resolution, a MediaTek MT8135 chipset, composed of two ARM Cortex-A15 CPU cores, and two Cortex-A7 cores. Handling the graphics department is a PowerVR Rogue G6200 GPU, and taking care of multi-tasking is the measly 1GB of RAM.
While the rumored $50 price tag of the device is definitely commendable as reported by the Wall Street Journal, the specs are just enough to make it relevant in a sea of other Android tablets. These slates may be slightly more costly, but they have much better specs.
If the leak of the 10-inch Amazon Kindle Fire Tablet is true, then the retailer giant might suffer in selling the device once more.
Just earlier this month, Amazon discontinued development and production of its Fire Phone because it failed to meet the company's sales expectations. However, for people who still want to get the smartphone, Tech Times reported that the 64GB version is only priced at $149 on some retailers, and it comes with free Amazon Prime for one year.
