Even as
other device manufacturers are looking to producing smaller versions of their
products, Amazon is looking at the opposite direction since it may be aiming to
produce a ten-inch version of the Amazon Kindle Fire. This was revealed
recently by NPD DisplaySearch analyst Richard Sim.
The company
is gradually increasing the size of its widely-popular tablet. It started with
a seven-inch model in November 2011 before unveiling an 8.9-inch version in
September 2012.
Shim said
the ten-inch model of the Amazon Kindle Fire will feature a 10.1-inch display
with a resolution of 2560 by 1600. This is equivalent to a 300 PPI pixel
density, which is bigger than that of the Retina model of the iPad 4 of Apple
that has a pixel density of 264 PPI.
The
resolution of the rumored tablet will be similar to the resolution of the
Google Nexus 10. Shim added that mass production of the screen display for the
ten-inch version of the Amazon Kindle Fire will begin by the third quarter of
the year.
Shim also
said that the company may release new versions of the 7-inch and the 8.9-inch
of the Amazon Kindle Fire. The new versions will have a pixel density of 300
PPI.
The market
share of Amazon in the tablet market is currently at 3.7 percent, putting it
fourth on the list, according to IDC.
No
statements were released by Amazon in connection to the reports on the possible
release of a ten-inch model of the Amazon Kindle Fire.
