Amazon Kindle Fire 7 New Color


Amazon is upgrading its most basic Kindle Fire tablet today, if ever so slightly. The 7-inch device now gets three additional color versions you can pick from when buying one. Aside from the existing black model, it's now also being offered in blue, magenta, and tangerine hues.

What's more, a new iteration with 16GB of built-in storage has been revealed. The 8 GB model will stay on sale for US$ 49.99, while the new SKU with double the storage is priced at  US$ 69.99.

Everything else about the tablet has remained the same. This is still one of the cheapest slates out there, but do keep in mind that it runs Fire OS, Amazon's forked version of Android.

The Kindle Fire has a 7-inch 1,024x600 touchscreen, a 1.3 GHz quad-core processor, a 2 MP rear camera, a VGA front-facing camera, 1 GB of RAM, and a microSD card slot.
