I know we are only one month into the summer, but fall is right around the corner, and you know that means we will be seeing new Kindle Fire tablets. So what hardware improvements are in store?

A great place to find out about upcoming devices is benchmarks. A newer version of the Kindle Fire HDX showed up in AnTuTu's database with a Snapdragon 805, which is a lot more powerful than the current offering that utilizes a Snapdragon 800. The model that appeared in the benchmark is the 8.9-inch version, and the rest of the specs appear to be the same as the current model….a 2560 x 1600 display, 2 GB of RAM, 8 MP rear camera, and 1 MP front-facing camera. You will also notice Android 4.4.4 in the graphic, but that will of course be forked to a new version of the Fire OS.

Robert lives in upstate New York where he was born and raised. Technology was always his passion. His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.
