Into Other than tablet low-cost, Amazon is serious. The e-commerce giant wants to convince everyone, public and experts, that his alternative to the iPad is not only of an economic nature. But also and above all functional.
Into The explanation, in fact, is the new Kindle Fire HDX , a device from the middle of next month of October will occupy the high end of the company’s catalog. A new feature that will open a whole new chapter in the landscape of technological products developed and sold by the brand created by Jeff Bezos. Let’s see why.
The Kindle Fire HDX actually conceals two different products, one 7 and the other 8.9-inch . Two tablet, so, however, united by the same characteristics: lightness, speed, display quality, hardware and software resources. The match of the technical specifications is already self-explanatory: display 2560 × 1600 pixel (HDX 8.9-inch) and 1920 x 1200 pixels (7 inches) for a budget of 323 and 339 ppi respectively, 303 and 374 grams in weight (with a reduction of about 35% for the 8.9-inch version), 800 quad-core Snapdragon processor 2.2 GHz , rear camera 8 megapixel camera (with LED flash and HD video capabilities) and front lens HD, dual stereo speakers with Dolby Digital Plus and to 5.1-channel surround muilti, battery credited with 11/12 hours of navigation (or video playback) and 17/18 hours of reading.
But it is above all in the use of the new Kindle Fire HDX aims to make a difference. About an operating system completely renovated – Fire OS 3.0 – which promises better navigation and more rational management of email, as well as expanded support for native applications. Among these it is worth noting the arrival of a system for image-processing “light” (for resizing, cropping, adjusting brightness and contrast of the photo), a tool that allows you to find the movie soundtrack playing or the lyrics of a song to listen, and the so-called MayDay , a service center free of charge and open 24 hours on 24, 7 days out of 7 to solve all the problems related to tablet and its operations.
Into A novelty, the latter, which gives a nod to all those who have great familiarity with new technologies and continue to favor the direct relationship with the service centers.
