We have all heard about Amazon’s plans to release an entry-level Fire tablet. The device, which is said to have a smaller display and $50 price tag, actually appeared on GFXBench earlier. That tablet doesn’t seem to be the only one coming from Amazon this year, though. This morning, Evan Blass shared an image of what is said to be a 10-inch Fire tablet. This would be Amazon’s first time releasing a device with a display larger than 8.9 inches.
Hit the break to see the device.
The software looks a little different, right? That’s because it more closely resembles Android, not just a forked version of it. The carousel that Amazon uses to keep the user interface simple is likely gone because of the display’s size. So now users are going to get a conventional layout courtesy of an app drawer. At the bottom of the display, too, are familiar on-screen buttons. And near the top is a search bar. Although it does look like Android, Amazon is probably going to continue using its Fire OS.
Being that the display is 10 inches, promoting the device in landscape orientation is ideal. Amazon, however, is showing the 10-inch Fire tablet in portrait orientation and the company logo is featured horizontally. In this position, the tablet looks very narrow. The front-facing camera is centered above the display and the rear camera is packed tightly into the top left corner. Power and volume buttons are also housed at the top of the device.
