The Kindle Fire HDX outperforms its predecessor - La Prensa de Honduras

Washington United States

Imagine if you could call a specialist service and this is presented in a matter of seconds in a live video on your digital device. And now imagine that person can draw on your screen or even take control of your device to solve a problem.

That is precisely what can the latest model of the Kindle Fire tablet, the Kindle Fire HDX. This assistance system, called Mayday button (meaning relief), is the most unusual feature in what otherwise would be a normal evolution of color tablets the company.

However, a better help system is not exactly the main reason to buy a new tablet. After all, the tablets should be simple and easy to use. But Mayday fits the durable and deserved reputation for customer service from Amazon. I’ve been testing the Fire
HDX and is a good color tablet and easily.

This latest model, the starting price is U.S. $ 229 in the U.S. for 7-inch version I used, is clearly better than the Fire HD last year, which started at $ 199 for the 7- inches.

(There is also a large and expensive version of the HDX, with a 8.9-inch screen). For now, the tablet is only available in the U.S. through Amazon.com and several retail stores. The company has not yet announced the launch date of the product outside the U.S., said a spokeswoman
Amazon. Like previous models of Fire, is best described as a passport in hardware to purchase digital content from Amazon.

The base model shoots

ads from the home screen, but you can buy one without advertising for $ 15 more. The 7-inch Fire HDX, like its predecessor, still not as versatile
or offer as many features as rival tablets like Apple iPad Mini or Google Nexus 7.
Offers only a fraction third-party applications available in Apple stores or Google and
lacks popular apps like Instagram, Dropbox, Google Maps, YouTube and Netflix (Amazon
says that Netflix is ??coming soon).

Unlike the iPad Mini or the Nexus, the HDX Fire does not have a rear camera. And the HDX does not have an equivalent of artificial intelligence programs, controlled by voice commands, such as Apple’s Siri and Google Now. The tablet offers a battery life of 7.5 hours regularly exceeds 6 hours of the Nexus 7, but is lower at 10 hours and 27 minutes of the iPad Mini. (I used my standard test in which I put the screen on 75% brightness, I keep Wi-Fi on and I play videos stored on the tablet until the battery runs out).

So what makes the new Kindle HDX exceeds the previous model? Well, it has
splendid screen high resolution offered by 323 pixels per inch, the same as last
Nexus 7 U.S. $ 229, much higher than the 163 pixels per inch iPad Mini U.S. $ 329 (although
Mini screen is much larger, 7.9 inches).

screen also could read somewhat better than the iPad under the sunlight. The Fire HDX has a faster processor than the delay of the device removed since cycled to when work began
I observed when testing last year’s model.

HDX

Fire also has a new operating system and some new features that are great. The home screen carousel still showing apps, songs, books and videos recently used, but underneath that are now icons
favorite applications and you can hide the carousel if distracting. There is also a new sidebar to quickly switch from one active application to another. This appears when you slide your finger from the corner of the screen.

Perhaps

new feature that I like is called X-Ray for Music, which displays the lyrics of the songs you are listening to a synchronized manner. The Fire HDX is thinner and lighter than the previous model. But since the edge is narrower, the power and volume buttons are on the back of the tablet
. I found them uncomfortable and slow. Like its predecessors, the Fire is technically HDX
an Android tablet that hides Android to end it invisible.

HDX lacks any indication of the Android interface, applications
standards that come on most Android devices and standard store Android applications, Google Play. Instead, use an operating system called Fire Amazon OS 3.0. Amazon has its own store for Fire HDX and has 85,000 applications, compared with nearly one million respectively
in stores Google and Apple applications.

If you are looking for a tablet mainly consume content from Amazon, the new Kindle Fire HDX is a good choice.
