>I saw that Amazon has decided to continue with Wi-Fi 5, which means that they are still deliberately making sure they don’t launch a flagship type of tablet that would step on the toes of Apple, Samsung, and Lenovo.
... or they're just shipping the cheapest components they can find cuz they know most people don't care about wifi6 (at the moment).
- sem000 4y agoI think you’re misjudging amazons customer base. I sincerely doubt there is are more than a handful or two of consumers that buy the Fire HD that even know there are different versions.
- TheAdamist 4y agoThe whole point of the fire tablet series is as cheap as possible while still being decent. The tech specs are always a bit behind, but its been consistently under $200(significantly under when on sale). Practically disposable at that price point. There is no Name Brand competition in their space. You can go far more expensive for higher end other known brands, or no name tablets with garbage software and no app support.
- ValentineC 4y ago> no name tablets with garbage software and no app support. I don't get it — aren't the no-name tablets using stock Android? Unless one's heavily invested in Amazon's ecosystem, I wonder if that's better than using Amazon's locked down, spyware-infested Fire tablet distro.
- goosedragons 4y agoIt's not that hard to get the Play store on a modern Fire tablet. Amazon will actually update them after release which I don't think no name ones probably do too often.
