Just yesterday, Amazon took the wraps off two new Kindle Fire HDX tablets and an updated 7-inch Fire HD tablet. Outside of introducing improved hardware and unique features like the “May Day” button, Amazon also seems to be interested in changing the way its customers watch video.

Between high-end gaming, 120Hz displays, and the growth of machine learning, graphics performance and fidelity are increasingly important in the smartphone market. Arm has unveiled two new GPUs for us this year, the high-performance Mali-G78 and the new sub-premium tier Mali-G68.
Both are based on Arm’s Valhall micro-architecture found in the Mali-G77 and Mali-G57, but with a few key improvements. The Mali-G78 aims to push the performance envelope with support for more cores, up from 16 to 24 this generation.

Right now, customers can pick up Samsung’s latest Note series flagships for a fraction of the price — $360 for the Note 10 and $480 for the Note 10 Plus.
