Amazon announced new high-end Alexa tablets ranging from $230 to $550, available for preorder and shipping from October 14. The company also revealed it will phase out its lower-cost Fire tablets, shifting focus toward more expensive devices. This move marks a strategic change aimed at increasing profit margins on its hardware offerings.
Amazon has introduced the Alexa Tablet 12 Pro, positioning it as the new top-tier device, overtaking the Fire HD 10 in their lineup. The tablet features a 'nanomatte' display designed to mimic paper and a new processor to support Alexa+ AI capabilities. While it remains below premium tablets like iPads and Galaxy Tabs, it marks a notable upgrade over its predecessor.
Amazon has discounted its latest Fire HD 10 tablet to $72.99, a 53% cut from its $154.99 list price, as part of an early Prime Big Deal Days promotion. The tablet features a 10.1-inch Full HD display, a MediaTek MT8186A octa-core processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB or 64GB storage with microSD expansion up to 1TB, and up to 13 hours of battery life. The discount is only available to Amazon Prime members, though new users can access it via a free 30-day trial.
