Kindle Fire 2 Release Date Next Week Tablet Will Rival Google Nexus 7 with 7-inch Design [PHOTOS]
The Kindle Fire 2 release date is coming soon and is expected to rival directly against Google Nexus 7. Amazon is gearing up with all new specs to take on market domination when the Kindle Fire 2 release date finally dawns.
Google Nexus 7 became the highest selling tablet since it's release in June and even sold out of its 16GB model just weeks after. The 7-inch device was notable for its less than $200 price tag, Android 4.1 Jellybean operating system, and quad-core processor.
According to recently leaked photos, the Kindle Fire 2 will include several new features for the Amazon tablet. The Verge, a technology venue, released one photo yesterday afternoon and another later in the evening.
In analyzing the photographs, one can assume that Amazon's Kindle Fire 2 will include a microphone and video camera capability with a new camera addition. Another feature will include Skype, which will most likely be available through the Amazon app store. The Kindle Fire 2 will have a new custom design that will look only slightly different from the tablet's original model, the Verge reports.
According to the Christian Post, the Verge also received an additional photo of the tablet but was asked not to publicize it. This photo reportedly indicates "streamlined user interface" with less chrome, the publication wrote.
The Kindle Fire 2 release date also initiates the battle for tablet market domination.
"Amazon is working on a new version of the Kindle Fire, with a larger display, that could compete more directly with the iPad," the NYTimes revealed last month.
One version of the Kindle Fire 2 is rumored to be 7 inches where as the larger display would be nearly 10 inches. Word on whether or not the new device will have 4G capability is still unconfirmed.
The Kindle Fire release date is expected to be Sept. 6.
