Upgrade Kindle Fire HDX with Snapdragon 805 spotted on Antutu

With the Kindle Fire HDX nearing a full year on the market, the release of an updated device is nearing, and according to a recent benchmark spotted on Antutu, it seems this will be quite a good one.

 The new device which was spotted benchmarking on Antutu has the same name as its predecessor, although the hardware is far from same. While the previous HDX 8.9 had Snapdragon 800 paired with a FHD display, this one is definitely a notch above. 

 The full specs are an 8.9' QHD display, with a strong 2.45 GHz Snapdragon 805 paired with Adreno 420 and 2 GB of RAM (shame, 3 would've made it truly un-compromising). The back-shooter is 8 MP while the front is 1 MP, which is reasonable for a tablet. It also has Android 4.4.4 KitKat, which is obvious but good nonetheless. See it for yourselves:


While Amazon's devices are usually not making a grab for the high-end market, this one definitely has some things to show for, and with all the Amazon features likely to be included you should definitely keep an eye on this one. Stay tuned for more details.

Amazon Amazon Instant Video coming to Android

Amazon Instant Video, which is part of Amazon’s Prime subscription, offers unlimited video streaming of your favorite show and movies, with unlimited use.

While many Android users probably own Amazon Prime accounts, up until now they hadn’t a use for the Instant Video feature on their smartphones, since that was only exclusive to Amazon’s Kindle tablet line, iPads, and it is also available on the new Fire Phone.
