Amazon updates tablet
Print Edition
AMAZON is offering a thinner and lighter version of its cheapest, 7-inch tablet, while shaving US$10 off the price of an 8-inch model.
Amazon’s bare-bones Fire tablet is now called the Fire 7. It also promises about an extra hour of battery, or eight hours total, and a display with higher contrast and sharper text. The price remains at US$50.
The Fire HD 8 model is now US$80, rather than US$90. Features are largely the same as before.
Amazon has found a niche in the tablet market with lower-cost models, while Apple, Samsung and Microsoft chase professionals with higher-end devices.
Both models come with Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant built-in, allowing users to control lights and household appliances, ask for the news or jokes and check the weather.
