A device with all the signs that it is a new Amazon Fire tablet has gotten the approval of the United States’ Federal Commission (FCC) ahead of a possible release of the product. The device with the model number and FCC ID: 2AWRO-8768 and its details, though not explicitly seen, indicate a possible Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet. If indeed, that is the case, then the model will be the successor to the released Amazon Fire HD tablet in 2021.
The Amazon Fire 7 tablet is the oldest
model in the Amazon lineup, it had seemed that that was the most likely model
to be iterated in the new form, but it seems that may not be the case. Sources
familiar with the trajectory of the model with the recent FCC approval say that
Amazon allegedly submitted the tablet to FCC with a fake company named Abyssal
Plain LLC. But interestingly, the same name was used by Amazon to submit the
Fire HD 10 tablet when it went through the FCC paces. The feeler is that the
model is just an updated version of the Fire HD 10 and the two model numbers
have only a slight difference. Amazon has also never had to use a fake filing
name for two different products.
Although we are not yet in a position to
know the specs details of the new device, it could bear a strong semblance to
the Fire HD 10 in terms of design and functionality, with some tech tweaks to
enhance its rating. There are no indications also on the possible release date
for the device, but we expect some key announcements from Amazon this year
including some other tablets.
