There isn’t a whole lot new to the design and internal specs versus last year’s model. It still has a 1.3 GHz processor and 1.5 GB of RAM. But it does add a 2MP front-facing camera with 720p video. The previous model only had a VGA front-facing camera and 2MP rear camera. This upgrade will allow a better experience while using video chat with other users of Fire tablets and Echo devices. The Alexa hands-Free feature is easier to use now as the previous year’s tablet needed to be plugged in or unlocked to summon Alexa. The new model will always be listening for the wake word, so you can easily ask Alexa to play some music, turn on the lights, find out about the weather, or use Alexa Skills. It, of course, also include Show Mode that turns the tablet into an Echo-Show device when docked. Comment Name * Email *
