time to improve it by now also had Amazon. And considering that its first tablet had already sparkled, now that the third generation is reasonable to expect the best. Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 is truly the crème tablets in its class. The hardware is first choice and the operating system continues on its path of diversification compared to competitors Apple and Google.
The first impact with the new Fire is extremely positive. The tablet is a feather, weighing just 374 grams and is only 7.8mm thick. And yet the build quality is impressive: materials have plastic base, but prove solid and make the tablet without crunches even more ruthless in front of the twists. She stunned a bit ‘only design , which uses angular lines in the back that clash with the rest of the tablet, but for the rest of the Fire is a pleasure to handle and transport is convenient.
Despite first impressions, though, the HDX the real gem is the LCD screen 8.9 “ definition with 2560 × 1600 pixels. If we consider the competitors it is a disproportionate amount, but without resorting to iPad and Air company, such density (339 pixels per inch) content ensures absolute clear as crystal. In particular text and photos : being part of the Kindle family, it is clear that particular attention is paid to typography and images. But the video, apps and the operating system in general enjoy the quality of the panel. Excellent definition, good viewing angles, color reproduction faithful, High Brightness: the screen of the Fire is perhaps the best currently available on the tablet.
Everything else is at the forefront. The dual-antenna Wi-Fi provides fast and reliable connections, even if the gain on competitors in single antenna is almost imperceptible in most situations, since it all depends on ReteA which it connects. The battery has always managed to get us end of the day with an average use (mail, a few posts on social networks, a lot of reading and a couple of hours of navigation). Pure overall performance are at most and operations always take place in the Fire fluidly and smoothly. The quad-core Snapdragon processor 800 does not afraid of anything, and even in the multitasking pushed the system is in crisis.
Rather, is just the OS as a whole to raise doubts. The Amazon-centric philosophy which is based Fire Os 3 is destined to divide opinions and generate mixed feelings. On the one hand, the system is easy to use, puts you in direct connection with all the facilities of the multinational plus provides access to a catalog of selected Android app. If you are an aficionado of the company of Jeff Bezos, probably you could not ask for better. On the other hand, if you come from the world of the green robot feel the lack of the suite and operating system Google: YouTube, Gmail, Google Maps have all of the fees of third parties, but are not present in the store Amazon.
HDX 8.9
Kindle Fire is a tablet out of the ordinary for both high-value and because it is an exception in the world of media tablets. If the original fire a couple of years ago could be the only practical alternative to the iPad, the Android ecosystem has now regained lost ground and is installed on products of all sizes, competitive quality and content. However, if you simply want to browse and consume books, videos and music in peace and ease, then you probably do not care about all this, and the proposal of Amazon is one of the best around.
Wired: the digital store offers free app per day. Camera to a good standard for the category. The speakers are not obstructed by holding the tablet on the deskTired: no microSD slot or USB on the go
