- Amazon is reportedly working on a tablet running Android rather than four OS
- This can cost much more than current fire tablet models of about $ 400
- It may be the first of many Android-driven tablets
Amazon’s fire tablets may not get as much attention as iPads and Samsung Galaxy tabs, but they are quietly quite successful products and a rumored change could make them even more popular.
According to Pakinomist quoting “Six people who are familiar with the case”, Amazon plans to release a new tablet next year, but this one will apparently be driven by Android rather than the Brand OS operating system used by all current Amazon tablets.
Four us in themselves are based on Android, but it is so strongly adapted and discouraged that it is almost unidentifiable as an Android operating system-it even depends on a completely separate app store.
So moving to a less strongly changed version of Android would be a big shift, with the biggest benefit of buyers who were likely to be able to access the Google Play store, which means a broader accessibility of apps, and more security, as the apps they have on their phone would also be available for their tech slate.
A more expensive view
In addition to a shift in the operating system, this upcoming four tablet could also be a more premium device, with the report that it could cost about $ 400 (about £ 300 / AU $ 620). It would make it almost twice as expensive as Amazon Fire Max 11, which is the top model in Amazon’s current election.
$ 400 is still a relatively low price compared to some tablets, but it would put slate more in line with iPad 11-inch (2025) so it could have some serious competition.
It is still not necessarily a bad thing, as presumably this price increase would come with better hardware, which should help this tablet appeal to an audience that would never have considered an Amazon tablet before.
And the Pakinomist report suggests that this could be the first of many Android-driven tablets, some of which may continue to appeal to the entry-level buyers. So hopefully there will be something for everyone soon – and without the limitations of fire us.
The sources still warn that there is a chance that this Android -tablet project – which is said to be the code name Kittyhawk – may still be delayed or canceled over “financial or other concerns”, so for now we can only hope this new tablet will be launched.
