are also excellent data on the maximum brightness of 472 cd/m2, although with a very slight effect bleeding . Another aspect that impresses is the low weight of just over 350 grams (less than even that of the iPad Air), and the thickness of just 7.8 mm. iPad Air has a thickness of 3 tenths of a millimeter lower.
The basic price to take home Kindle Fire HDX is 394 € , about 100 euro less than the corresponding version of Air iPad (WiFi only and 16 Gbytes of memory). Mistake to think that the savings come from the allocation of memory or CPU. True that Amazon Kindle Fire HDX does not work on 64-bit CPU, also true that the body is not made of aluminum, such as for iPad Air, but the Quad Core CPU at 2.2 GHz (Qualcomm Snapdragon 800) and 2 GB of RAM provide excellent performance, even for play, along with the Adreno 330 graphics processor. All this serves to move Fire OS 3.0 , aka Mojito, a version of Android completely re-designed from Amazon.
Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 – On a profile volume control on the power button, the facet is only slightly tilted. On the front is any interaction via touch screen
A quick nod before turning to the analysis software, it deserves rear camera with 8-megapixel sensor. Satisfactory. Ditto for the front of the service. Kindle Fire HDX has a jack for headphones and the microphone is integrated in the device. The audio is pretty good and the location of the speakers on the upper profile is smart, even if reading the books and taking the device vertically probably the most natural outlet for us to cover one of the two leads.
Fire OS 3.0 is a great system based on Android , the strength in our opinion the most important, is the consistency of approach “cloud vs device” which are already accustomed to all customers Amazon who use the services of the ebook reader. In Fire Os 3.0 at the center are the contents, whether books, apps, music, email, calendars, contacts or other. When it comes to multimedia content and apps you know you can view them all (even those who are only in the Amazon cloud) and to download on your tablet only those who actually need or want to use, depending on usage then, with the system 1-Tap the user with a gesture may possibly decide their relocation in the cloud. A good system for risparmaire space on the device and eventually settle for a Fire HDX with less storage.Another strength of the solution based on Mojito is the ability to switch from one application to another without even return to the home, thanks to QuickSwitch that vaguely recalls the function of the Windows 8.1 interface Modern UI, when you can switch to another window by scrolling from the outer edge toward the center of the display.
Windows 8.1 we proceed from the left edge to the right, instead with Kindle Fire HDX from the right edge to the left. The operating system comes with parental control, a basic but effective solution, for example, can allow the parent to maintain control for the download of the app, even in the case of free apps.
HDX Amazon Kindle Fire, Silk disappoint
We have found no problems whatsoever regarding the integrated program to manage mail, email, contacts, and tasks, and also with Exchange ActiveSync account. It is the client simple, but clean, functional purpose. Unfortunately, contrary to what Amazon has its own browser, we are not satisfied Silk , or its speed (beyond the slogan is easily comparable to that of the browser Android the most well known, no need of setting ‘accelerators’ of sorts – available in Options) or the overall fluidity of navigation. The most critical is to note that, if you are navigating, and you want to watch a video on your browser, you should immediately cross your fingers, because you will not know if you are able to do so until the video actually starts.
browser reports for most of the videos (certainly for those in Flash) the lack of a plugin, but in any case it is said that what is defined in the options menu P rompt for Experimental Stream Viewer functions, and already the name of this feature, says a lot. The first instinct is then to try another browser but the problem is accompanied by the fact that the store application for Kindle Fire HDX, a worthy replacement for Silk will not find it and Play Store is not directly accessible. At the moment the use of streaming video via the browser with Kindle Fire HDX remains a problem to be solved and those in a hurry. Not a good business card for an excellent device that offers just as an example of ‘experience’ in the use of multimedia content.
Amazon in the FAQ answers: “We developed the experimental Stream Viewer to allow you to view Flash content on a limited number of websites. When you visit a website compatible, you will be prompted to open the Stream Viewer experimental correctly display the video. “ and ‘too little.
Kindle Fire HDX 8.9
a shame for a device that would instead from today all the papers in order to ensure a good user experience, performance and build quality at a very competitive price and more than balanced.
tail also a small note on the application for reading ebooks is quality, but it is unclear why the developer does not have the features of the built-in display brightness control, as is the case for the corresponding app iOs and obviously as you can directly from the pages of the ebook with e-ink readers such as the Kindle Paperwhite.
Just applying for the ebook reader does not provide brightness control, this instead in the corresponding app for iOs iPad. On Kindle Fire HDX must perform two steps to adjust the brightness’
software to read Kindle ebook integrated Kindle Fire HDX does not allow you to manage the display brightness, but for the brightness control requires before activating the menu for the settings of reading the ebook and only then enter the shortcut expected to handle some of the settings. We expect, however, to be able to change the brightness directly from the Display (where you also run the font size, like on iOs) instead amcora at this point you have to slide your finger from top to look down from the top frame and then from there to manage the control of the overall brightness of your device. If you make the same gesture while reading your ebook, nothing will happen. You have to essentially make a transition into more than when you use this application as it was built for iOS. Really the last straw for a device Amazon!
Amazon Kindle Fire HDX, the validity of the proposal
The proposed Amazon is convincing as long as you are still working hard on developing its Fire OS and applications compatible with the operating system, which we do not mind at all, and that is certainly set in a simplified manner than the average Android tablet. If the tablets are destined to remain the device of excellence for the use of content, arranged the criticality of the case, the Kindle Fire HDX have a choice to take into consideration absolutely. We think that because of the perception of the brand, and for the vocation Amazon in the proposition of selling services and content, it is more difficult for a device of this type is chosen in a business context.
Amazon Kindle Fire HDX in the same version is offered in two different prices 394 or 379 € . The first is that the price of the device, the second is an offer that Amazon lowered the price of the tablet as long as the user agrees to receive special offers and sponsored screensavers display. Amazon says that the Kindle offers may relate to the accessories, your digital catalog of eBooks, apps, games, MP3 and more. Tenders or appear in the screen or at the bottom of the home screen, but not while using an app.In any case, it is the user the right to delete sponsorship by paying the difference of 15 euro, possibly after having registered the device. Our idea is that the benefits to Amazon and trouble for you are worth much more than 15 €. And then we would not have doubts about purchasing without sponsorship. In truth, the proposal of Amazon reveals a trend already well underway. The device, the hardware itself is itself over time is expected to be worth less and less, while the value will be in the services, software and the commercial possibilities inherent. Amazon from this point of view is already more than a step ahead of its competitors and has worked to perfection.
