Amazon Kindle Fire tablet launch a really low cost – ITespresso.fr

New offensive Amazon in the segment of tablets. Soon a model 6 inches to 50 dollars?

Amazon persists in the segment of tablets available at a cheap price.

The Wall Street Journal, the e-commerce group of Jeff Bezos could launch a new offensive by Christmas. With a tablet model proposed … and costs 50 dollars. Knowing that the Internet merchant firm already markets a range of shelves Fire HD and HDX.

Amazon is not at its trial run to offer very price tablets low, even cut corners on its margins. A good way to gain market share in order to push its own services via Fire OS, the Android fork that equips its shelves (and its smartphone fire phone).

Currently, the model entry level is at 99 euros with Fire HD 6, also has a 6 inch screen

Admittedly some concessions. at this rate, advertisements are displayed on the screen saver model called “Special offers” (there is a model devoid of advertising 114 euros).

The next tablet at $ 50 she will follow this advertising model?

Despite this low price, Amazon maintains a fairly good level of equipment with a display resolution of 1280 by 800 pixels (or superior to HD), 8GB of storage, a processor 4 cores clocked up 1.5 GHz and two NPC (one at the back with 2-megapixel sensor).

now remains to know the technical details of a tablet offered at a rate as low as 50 dollars. The performance must be sufficient to maintain a compelling user experience, which is not trivial with BOM (Bill of Materials) reduced to a trickle.

Amazon would bet the ultra low cost to revive the interest of users for tablets.

Meanwhile, Apple might try the opposite and trying to revive the tablet market with the iPad Pro, a more effective tablet and therefore probably more expensive than the current iPad.

But Amazon also would provide renewed its range of tablets with two new models with screens 8 and 10 inches. This would replace the current Fire HDX 8.9 inch screen.

Other products could also emerge from the side of Amazon. One thinks of the computer for the kitchen (code name “Kabinet”), on which the Lab126 plancherait. The unit would incorporate the same voice recognition technology that the personal assistant Echo launched by Amazon last year in North America.
