Amazon.com Inc updated its least-expensive tablets, continuing to produce new and updated hardware as a way to attract consumers to its more profitable services.
The online retailer and consumer electronics maker announced upgrades Wednesday to its bestselling 7in Fire tablet, giving it a slightly thinner and lighter design, an extra hour of battery life, support for higher-speed wireless connectivity, and new colours. Amazon cut the price on the larger Fire HD 8 tablet by US$10 (RM43) and said it’s giving the rugged tablets for kids a makeover as well.
