Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 “: The tablet What is surprising
The world of tablet , in recent years, has seen rapid growth and market success of brands such as Samsung , Amazon and Apple . The hardware performance has increased rapidly and now, tablets have also revolutionized the way we work on the move. Being able to compete with a device like the iPad was one of the main objectives of the Amazon and the new Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 “, the company Seattle tries to offer a device based on powerful hardware and an operating system customized .
In terms of hardware specifications of the new Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 “ has a 8.9-inch display with a resolution of 2560 × 1600 pixels with 339 ppi and accuracy of 100% sRGB color . In addition to the fabulous display, there are quad-core Snapdragon processor 2.2 GHz 800 memory and RAM to 2 GB that allow you to have excellent performance with most games. Regarding the battery , we have found a duration that, in some cases, can exceed the 11 hours and in read only mode can be reached 17 hours. Equipped with two stereo speakers Dolby Digital Plus and multi-channel virtual surround sound 5.1 , the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 “ there left speechless when it comes to playing music or watching a movie. The sound volume is adequate, but the quality and depth of the average and low is extremely high . Of course, thanks to the Bluetooth connection you can connect directly to external audio un’impiato, in order to appreciate the most of the sound. The HD camcorder can be used with front Skype , while the 8-megapixel rear and with LED flash and a ‘ f/2.2 aperture allows you to take pictures clear enough and 1080p HD video . Below you can see some test shots and see how, despite being a tablet, the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 “able to satisfy even the most demanding users. We should emphasize that a 8.9-inch tablet, was not born to replace the classical compact cameras, but it is more a tool for work and play, able to accompany us everywhere and optimize our “ workflow “.
As for the software, however, thanks to the latest update of Fire OS , Fire OS 3.1 , the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 “integrates all useful ‘ inside of a business ecosystem, including the ability to have a native VPN client and a SCEP client , to certify sources. Amazon offers, through Cloud Collections , the ability to organize books, newspapers, magazines and customized applications to collections, but at the same time Amazon Whispersync technology all collections syncs between all devices of the same Kindle account. The advantages are obvious, although Fire OS 3.1 does not allow to have all the flexibility offered by the Android operating system. It should be emphasized, moreover, that Amazon has thought of every need, integrating within the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 “ functionality Mayday that allows you to get a service remote support at no additional cost.
Lightweight, Performance and Premium Feeling
In our tests we noticed an extreme lightness of the device, the classic premium feeling present in the high-end products and also the quality of the display surprised us positively. Overall, both the plastic “glossy” , used around the rear camera, which with respect to the surface “ grip ” are quality . Not surprisingly, as soon as you start to use the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 “ we note that the strength of the body together with the lightness are aspects Fundamental for a tablet of this size. After hours and hours spent with the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 “to play Real Racing 3 , arms and hands are not affected by the heaviness of the device. The only concerns the mild and natural overheating of the upper part, around the camera, even if the device remains completely cold in all other parts. Other features that surprised us the most are: the quality of the integrated speakers with bass present, and the display extremely “resolute” , which offers natural colors, brilliant and a great brightness. As regards, however, the keys to increase / decrease the volume and turn on or put on standby the tablet, we believe that the choice of Amazon was spot on, even if the tablet when the tablet is held in a “portrait” are difficult to reach with your fingers.
Not Just
Tablet, But Also App-Shop
‘mandatory Finally, dedicate a few words to shop weblog Amazon App . L ‘ App-Shop , in fact, unlike the classic app stores can also be installed on your Android tablet and allows you to download the app of the day which is every day, selected and made available for free. Obviously, compared to the Google Play Store, some applications are absent, but there has to be stressed that the growth, both in terms of numbers and quality, is evident. The App Shop has million books , more than 60 thousand in Italian , more than 40 magazines Italian , the most important newspapers, and also millions of songs, hundreds of thousands of artists . Thanks to the functionality AutoRip you can buy a CD or vinyl and is automatically added to the MP3 Cloud Player library user. All of these features are an added value and the Seattle company, since its inception, has aimed to create an ecosystem that can offer the best service to its customers. Amazon App Shop, so it is a very good store to buy applications, and can be, at a later time, even downloaded on your Android tablet.
In conclusion, the Seattle company, although having a great device like the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 “, is not yet fully succeeded in optimizing Fire OS in order to offer the most of the features found in its “pure” Android. The strong “customization” of the operating system allows you to have a simple interface and it offers a quick learning curve , but at the same time limiting the number of features present. The Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 “, therefore, is a tablet that encourage anyone looking for performance, build quality and ease of use. Sold on Amazon.it from € 329 , the 16 GB model, Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 “is an excellent alternative, license plate Android (Fire OS), the more expensive and “closed” iPad Air.
