It appears to be like like somebody has turned up some footage of the field for the brand new twelfth technology Kindle Paperwhite that Amazon is predicted to launch quickly (possibly tomorrow).
The images don’t reveal very a lot by way of particulars, however it appears to be like prefer it’s going to be one other a type of technology upgrades with a number of minor modifications, like Amazon usually likes to do with Kindles.
The again of the field says the twelfth gen Kindle Paperwhite has a 7″ glare-free show, so it appears to be like like Amazon is altering from a 6.8″ E Ink display to a 7″ E Ink display.
The opposite particulars on the again aren’t something new. It says it has an adjustable heat mild, it’s waterproof with an IPX8 ranking, and it has “weeks” of battery life. The field additionally says it has 16GB of storage. All these issues are the identical because the eleventh gen Paperwhite so it appears to be like like the principle distinction goes to be a barely bigger display. Possibly it’s going to make use of a more moderen display know-how like Carta 1300, however from my expertise with the Kobo Clara BW the earlier Carta 1200 screens have higher distinction so I don’t know if that’s a great factor or not, however Carta 1300 screens are a tiny bit quicker so there’s that.
The general design seems to be largely the identical because the eleventh gen mannequin, however the corners appear like they’re somewhat bit extra rounded, and it nonetheless appears to be like like the facility button is positioned on the decrease edge.
There’s additionally a be aware on the again of the field towards the underside that claims it comes with a USB-C charging cable, and sadly Amazon continues to be going to be doing the ad-supported nonsense so that you’ll need to pay $20 further to do away with the screensaver adverts. They didn’t try this with the Kindle Scribe so I hoped they’d transfer in that route with different Kindles too, however apparently not.
So now we all know partially what to anticipate with the brand new Kindle Paperwhite and the new primary Kindle, and as soon as once more it doesn’t appear like a lot goes to alter. Hopefully the Signature Version mannequin will get a number of extra upgrades, and possibly Amazon will get round to releasing coloration Kindles subsequent yr, just like the rumors point out. For now, some minor modifications to current Kindles are possible all we’re going to get.
Right here’s the image of the again of the field:
