Amazon Releases New and Refreshed Kindle Fire Tablets, Announces Fire OS 4

From DailyTech: Amazon has been busy on the mobile front, following the disappointing launch of the Fire Phone. The Fire Phone has been an absolute dud on the market, with AT&T (the exclusive carrier for the Fire Phone) already dropping the price of the entry-level model to 99 cents on contract.

With that said, Amazon has always had better luck with its tablets and e-readers, which is why the company is proud to announce two refreshed tablets and four all-new tablets under the “Kindle Fire” product family.

We’ll first start off with the refreshed Kindle Fire HDX 8.9. The previous generation model was announced around this time last year and came with a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor paired with 2GB of RAM. This year’s model bumps the processor spec to a quad-core Snapdragon 805 running at a heady 2.5GHz. Amazon says that Snapdragon 805 brings with its 70 percent faster graphics performance while still providing around 12 hours of battery life.
