Fortnite on kindle fire 7 HD gen 4

[Brick1026]

I have a kindle fire 7 HD gen 4. So, if in theory I loaded android onto it could I run fortnite android beta?

In theory, yes. But you'd have to find some way to flash the current ROM and replace it with a recent version of Android. Then you'd have to hope that your Kindle is powerful enough in terms of hardware.

Kindles Fires are slow as fuck, I wouldn't bother

Mine has a quad core clocked at 1.5ghz Isn’t that like a little less than half the Xbox one’s cpu preformance

The minimum specs says 1gb ram so would the APK lock me out of the game or would it just not run well. On the iPhone if you had less than 2gb of ram the game just refused to open and shot out an error message. Sooooo, does the android APK behave the same way?

Except the Kindle has a tiny mobile chip with a completely different architecture from the Xbox. The Xbox has WAY more power than that thing.

It'll probably try to open, freeze, and then crash. That's my experience with applications on Android that won't run due to low end hardware.

 

This most likely isn't worth your effort, you'd be better off either getting the PC version or emulating Android on a PC.

Thought I might be an idiot. I’m only looking at core amounts and clock speed. Not architecture.

I guess you could try to run Fortnite Mobile on the Kindle Fire, but I'm not sure how well it will run.

Personally, I’m not very familiar with Android. I have used Apple sIncenIv used a tablet/phone. Even if not for fortnite would it be worth it to run android 6.0 on a kindle fire. Also, is android lighter than fire OS

Depends on what you gain with Android over fireOS. If Android has something you want and will make use of, then it'll be worth it.

It'd be one hell of a slideshow
