Amazon appears to be preparing three new Fire tablets. Details have now surfaced both with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and in import documents. One of the models could be the long-awaited successor to the Fire Max 11, which is no longer listed in the Amazon store. Another tablet would be equipped with 16 GB of RAM—more memory than Amazon has ever included in a Fire tablet before.
Amazon Fire Tablet (TR24E7): Likely the second-generation Fire Max 11
According to sources such as Good Ereader and liliputing, the FCC has certified a device with the model number TR24E7, which is likely the successor to the Fire Max 11. It features the MediaTek MT8189 (Kompanio 540) processor, manufactured using a 6-nm process, with two Cortex-A78 and six Cortex-A55 cores, as well as a Mali-G57-MC2 graphics unit.
The same chip is also found in the Asus Chromebook CM14. Although it differs little from the MT8188J in the first Fire Max 11, the new model comes with 8 GB of RAM—twice as much as its predecessor—along with 64 GB of storage.
Amazon Fire Tablet (SP24NE): Up to 16 GB of RAM
The second device listed in the import documents has the model number SP24NE and is powered by the yet-to-be-released MediaTek MT8793. One variant is expected to come with 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, while a second will feature 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. Since the Fire Max 11 is currently Amazon’s flagship tablet, this model could also represent the second generation—but it’s equally possible that it’s a completely new device.
Amazon Fire Tablet (RL3YT5): Entry-level model with more storage
The third model, designated RL3YT5, also uses the MediaTek MT8189 but is significantly less powerful, with 4 GB of RAM. However, it offers 128 GB of storage—twice the capacity of the TR24E7. Official product names for the three tablets have not yet been released, so all details are considered preliminary for now. What is certain, however, is that Amazon is working on at least three new Fire tablets, including a model with more RAM and storage than any of the company’s previous devices.
