Amazon updated 2023’s Fire HD 10 tablet with 4GB of RAM
Amazon has quietly upgraded the 32GB version of its Fire HD 10 tablet to include 4GB of RAM, accompanied by a $15 price increase. Industry analysts suggest this change may be a response to hardware supply chain constraints caused by the global demand for AI-related memory chips.
Why it matters
The update illustrates how the massive demand for AI infrastructure is creating ripple effects in the consumer electronics market, impacting component availability and pricing.
The Fire HD 8 that launched in 2024 was the last new addition to Amazon’s budget-minded tablet lineup, but the company has quietly updated the Fire HD 10 that debuted the year before. In 2023 it was offered with multiple storage configurations that each came with 3GB of RAM, but the 32GB version now ships with 4GB of RAM, and a small price bump from $139.99 to $154.99.
