After the little brother 7-inch, Amazon a few months ago presented the new Kindle Fire HD 8.9 “ display with Full HD we have tested for you. Amazon has, once again, opted for the Android operating system but definitely changed, in your opinion how was it? Here’s our opinion.

HD Kindle Fire, Amazon has created a simple and immediate access by developing a system based on content and assembling hardware components needed to maintain a competitive price (€ 269 ) without detracting from the quality of the product.

Into Here is the data sheet:

    THE THREE FEATURES

    Into Regarding the hardware we can distinguish three main features:

    Into The first is the display with a resolution of 1920X1200 , 254ppi (just below the retina that settles at 264ppi) with Filter polarizing that allows you to perceive crisp colors from any angle.

    Into The second concerns the ‘ dolby audio exclusively for Amazon because no other tablet in the world has one. Equipped with two stereo speakers, HD Kindle Fire therefore ensures a level of high volume and high quality (precisely, dolby).

    Into The third characteristic concerns the connectivity : Kindle Fire HD is in fact equipped with a dual antenna wireless that allows you to enjoy high-quality streaming content. The model 4G is currently an exclusive American where it is easier to enjoy video also via the mobile network, in Italy the 3G model is available that is recommended for browsing the web.

    Into The model we tested, 8 .9 “, is equipped with a processor OMAP 4470 1.5 GHz that has a capacity of calculation of the 50% higher than the Tegra 3 from Nvidia. Thanks to the handsome CPU Kindle Fire HD proves too great for play.

    Into The Amazon-style, however, has remained unc hanged: the first Kindle was born to read and traditions remain, the exit of the 7 “to that of 8 .9″ ebooks available increased from 16,000 to 41,000 in about a year, numbers really important. At the same time the app download are gone from a few thousand to a few tens of thousands .

    As soon as anticipated, ebooks are the strong point of the series Amazon Kindle and thought even more to the convenience of the users by introducing some exciting features.

    Into HD With Kindle Fire Kindle, you can send the account (for example enrico@kindle.com) a written document that will be automatically converted into ebook (Kindle format). After that you can highlight, underline, add notes or even search on Wikipedia. Any changes you make will be stored on the page Your Highlights of kindle.amazon.com) logging in with your account.


    interface

    Into Getting used to the interface of Amazon is not at all easy for those who are used to Android: everything is different and very few things reminiscent of the green robot. First of all the ‘ absence of an Android home screen in style can send “in crisis” at first glance, these large icons that characterize the Kindle series may like it or not (I am for not). The stream (called sequence ) icon is automatically updated with the latest chronologically open applications, and this is still handy from this point of view is a bit like having the menu “recent app” Android always open with the possibility of eliminating the sequence applications and games that do not want to appear.

    Into Untitled 2 In the upper part of the stream can access the quick search inside the tablet, the app store or on the web in general, the App Store, the Games, Applications, Books, Music, Videos, Web (via Amazon’s own app), Photos and Documents.

    Into The notification bar is well made, was available for quick actions such as blocking the rotation of the screen, adjust the volume and brightness, access to WiFi networks and synchronization. If we want more, by clicking on “More …” will access the settings menu to Amazon.

    Into From the above screen you can also see the navigation buttons on-screen introduced on the Kindle series that are always present (or you can still retrieve them via a swipe): Home , I bak and P Referred . We can add any application to bookmarks by holding down on it and we can throw it at any time plugging star .

    Into The lockscreen is very simple and allows to simply unlock the tablet as well as showing date and time.

    Into The thing competitive Kindle Fire is undoubtedly the quality / price : Technical characteristics of high quality (remember the Full HD display and Dolby) at a price of only € 269 for the 16GB version. Precisely for this reason many buy it and then immediately install a custom ROM with subsequent access to the Play Store to enjoy the Android operating system version in stock.


    conclusions

    Into Amazon has done an overall good job that maybe it is not getting the expected success probably just because of the operating system that is a little clumsy. However, in case of a possible “openness” of thought in American home Towards an Android Stock, we will almost certainly excellent products over 7 inches in competition with Samsung, Asus and Apple.

    Into Despite the number of applications has increased significantly in a short time, the Play Store is still N progress from Amazon App Store (where N is a number definitely high ), the thing that feels more like a true fanatic Android, is the lack of Google Apps .

    If we were to evaluate in tenths Into this tablet would give a good 8.5 hardware against a miserable 6 – for the software. Despite the many little things that you can do more than an Android tablet (how to convert any text into ebook) we are still far from one operating system to use every day in every circumstance.
