Into The Kindle Fire HDX arrives in Italy after the good sales of the previous models, which have long been the only real competitors of Apple’s iPad. E ‘available since yesterday in the 7-inch version and next week will come from the 8.9, so we tested the smallest model. Into From a design perspective, some may not appreciate the look more squared or the contrast between glossy and matte plastic, others will find the Amazon logo too big (and not Kindle) on the back, and yet there seems to be more annoying the fact that the volume and power buttons are flush with the chassis and therefore difficult to identify. Into But the most important element of a tablet is the screen, and the Kindle Fire HDX does not disappoint, with its 7-inch display, the colors are natural, razor-sharp text, excellent resolution (1920×1200, with pixel density equal to 323 ppi). Even within the Amazon tablet is all new: a more powerful processor (quad-core Snapdragon 2.2 GHz), more powerful battery and a battery life of up to 11 hours. Also increased memory, which now comes up to 64 GB, but still not expandable with SD cards, like on most Android tablets and Windows 8. Into Very good sound, thanks to the two speakers and Dolby Digital Plus, the interesting possibility of duplicating the screen on the TV at home through standard Miracast (works with wifi and smart tv only on some of the latest generation). Fair the front camera, designed more for video and photo recordings. Beautiful and strong magnetic custody Origami, which bends in different ways and also works as a stand, too bad it still increases the thickness of the device, have not really reduced. Into Jeff Bezos said that Amazon does not gain when it sells the Kindle, but when people use them. This is true both for eBook readers that for the tablet, and even multimedia content on the latter are more diverse: not only books (that are read very well with the appropriate app), but also music, video, films. To buy or rent directly in the store Amazon, or download via the cloud: for example, if you were reading a book on Paperwhite, the new Kindle will sync automatically and the app will open on the last page you visited, keeping records and bookmarks (and the best part is that this applies even if you use an iPad). Into its third generation, the Kindle Fire does not contradict its nature as a device designed more for media consumption than for production. Also in the new operating system, still based on Android, but reworked so that they have nothing in common with Google’s software: Fire Os 3 adds to the carousel of apps and media most recent also a row of icons most used, and most importantly allows easier access to content that is in the settings. Into The app can not be installed from the Google Play Store, but must be purchased on the App Shop, Amazon offers a limited choice of software for Android that is optimized to work best on the Kindle: there are Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, ??ilMeteo ??GialloZafferano . Do not miss the most popular games, with titles like FIFA 14 , Angry Birds Star Wars II, Asphalt 8: Airborne ??Colorado Joy Mission and others. Among the app information and newspapers, there is also ??La Stampa , while for the video highlight Y ??outube, VideoMediaset, TgCom24, Rai TV . Into The Kindle Fire HDX is always very easy to use, even in the face of greater flexibility and new or improved features (such as the Parental Control evolved to prevent access to certain apps or certain documents). And yet it is designed to be used without problems in a professional environment, with a clever split between apps for work and all the others, as well as enhanced support for Exchange email. Into But compared to last year, when it debuted in Italy, the tablet U.S. is currently facing strong competitors such as Samsung and Google itself, with the Nexus 7. Can no longer do the vast Amazon ecosystem its only strong point, and in fact is also focusing on performance as well as on price. Into In addition, Bezos has an ace up its sleeve: a service that allows you to talk to an expert to resolve any problems with your tablet. It’s called Mayday: just a touch, and in a corner of the screen shows a customer service representative, every day, all day. He is a person of flesh and blood, not a virtual assistant, and it is the first time that such a service you see on a device so cheap (a similar work exists on mobile phones Vertu, costing several thousand dollars). Into Mayday is currently active only in the U.S. and UK, and so in Italy the Amazon tablet can not rely on a very useful feature, especially for those who are not brought to the technology. But if the Kindle Fire Hd was a great tablet at an attractive price, the new model is a step forward in almost all points of view: the package this time there is even the power supply usb.
