Amazon is now selling the new Kindle Fire HDX in several versions: 7 inch (which shall be the analyze) and 8.9 inches . Your price varies depending on the storage capacity we choose and if we enjoy special offers, ie advertising. Amazon sale price of our tablet if we agree to receive advertising of them, which normally appears on the lock screen of our tablet.

Designed for multimedia content

Amazon , how could it be otherwise, has designed its Kindle Fire HDX so you can make the most to make purchases by Amazon . Buy multimedia content to a click is one of the main objectives of Amazon, we put it easy from the start.

Publicidad Amazon

In fact, if we decide to buy the Kindle Fire HDX to receive special offers advertising Amazon in the lock screen of our tablet . Again, Amazon’s intentions are clear.

Books Kindle Fire HDX

As we can see in the picture above, access to shop Amazon is available at all times . Whether you because we are checking our library books or want to listen to music, the option to access the store is always present.

This makes sense, since Amazon often sell their eReaders and tablets almost at cost, making money really make purchases through the device.

From the main menu you can access Games, Apps, Books, Music and Videos . This last option is not available in Spain, and you can not buy series or movies to watch or download streaming on our tablet.

That option, which could be very interesting to Amazon Prime subscribers, is replaced by a gallery where we can synchronize our photos & videos our smartphone, PC or Mac, Facebook and others.

Everything will be synchronized

our Amazon Cloud Drive , since we have 5GB free to create our own Amazon .

own operating system

Amazon has always done with its tablets , the new Kindle Fire HDX comes with a system class=”bold”> Android . Fire is OS 3.0 , known internally as Mojito .

At first glance, it is hard to believe that based on Android, and Amazon has left him totally unrecognizable . That can be a plus or a drawback, depending on the type of user.

Kindle Fire HDX , however, seems to be aimed at those who want the latest technology, but prefer the simplicity above all . In fact, unlike what we are used to Android, can not customize the screen .

For those who simply want to buy multimedia content (music, books, games, etc.) and download the basic applications, Amazon I could not get any easier . However, the absence of Google Play, many users will miss other applications missing in the store Amazon.

Some of the most notable absentees are Instagram and Dropbox . The advantages? Passing through the filter Amazon , increases security , because applications have undergone a prior review.

Another

strengths Amazon is their customer service , as we contact it through a phone call ( they will call us for free) or via e-mail or chat.

The new service

Mayday offers you a wizard class=”bold”> , but do not know if this functionality will be available in Spain in the future.

Customer HDX Amazon Kindle Fire

browser that comes included in our Kindle Fire HDX is Silk , which is quite similar to other browsers for tablets we’ve used before. It is characterized by having a read mode , as this way we can surf the web as if it were an eBook .

Hardware, camera and design

One thing that catches the attention of the new Kindle Fire HDX 7 inch is not features a rear camera , only a front camera, unlike the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 inches , which has with a rear 8 megapixel camera.

Having a front camera is very useful for video calls and take a picture of ourselves (the famous selfies have tempted us all), but its quality is inferior to a rear camera .

Kindle Fire HDX

competition has a rear camera, so not understand why Amazon has decided not to include in the 7-inch model . The image quality, however, is decent for being a front camera.

The tablet is characterized by light (303 grams) and be usable with one hand , with its functional and comfortable design. However, the power button is inaccessible to be in the back and not on one of the edges of the tablet. This means we can not unlock the tablet if you are on a table, for example, and have to pick it up and press the back button.

Kindle Fire HDX

Its dimensions

are 18.6 cm x 12.8 cm x 0.90 cm , which makes we can take it everywhere with us. Not fit in a pocket, but women can carry in a bag without problems.

Thickness Kindle Fire HDX

features a touchscreen HDX 7 inch , whose resolution . It also has a depth of 323 pixels per inch and color fidelity 100% sRGB .

You can play videos

up p 1080 with a maximum brightness of 400 nits.

The battery life is within the average, as allows mixed use of 11 hours (videos, browsing, and other applications) and use 17 hours if we want to read . With moderate use we lasted all weekend, but it will run so lucky if we live glued to the screen of your tablet.

has an internal memory class=”bold”> 16 GB (10.9 GB of memory available for personal content) 32 GB (25.1 GB of memory available for personal content) or 64 GB (53.7 GB of memory available for personal content ) and unlimited storage Amazon Cloud . His memory, however, can not be extended.

One of its strengths is demonstrating fluency at all times, as it has a Snapdragon quad-core processor 800 to 2.2 GHz GPU Adreno 330 and 2 GB of RAM memory.

Conclusion

new Kindle Fire HDX is a tablet powerful that delivers what it promises. However, have its own operating system can be inconvenient for more advanced users, who will miss personalize your device or use Google Play. Amazon has decided to create its own platform for enhance the ease and simplicity of use .

Overall, is good tablet if you consider the limitations that entails.
