Amazon Fire HDX 8.9 is an incredible Android tablet released in October 2014, coming with a large 8.9-inches display, an 8 mega-pixels back side camera and an extremely powerful 2500 megahertz Quad-Core processing unit.
Amazon decided to design the Amazon Fire HDX 8.9 using a high-tech 2.5 gigahertz Quad-Core CPU, bundled in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 APQ8084 system chip and a great 2 GB of RAM. This device comes with an interesting 16 GB internal storage and while it doesn't include a slot for external memory cards, it is enough to install hundreds of apps and games, but it might not be enough if you are fan of the largest games currently available.
The Amazon Fire HDX 8.9 has an inspired design, with a thickness of just 0.3". The Amazon Fire HDX 8.9 is a compact device, given that it presents a 8.9" display and it's just 9.1 inches long and 6.2 inches wide. The Amazon Fire HDX 8.9 feels much lighter than what one would expect from a device of this size.
Amazon packed this tablet with a beautiful 8.9-inches display, and a resolution of 1600 x 2560 , making everything look beautiful and brightful. This display uses LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.
This tablet provides wifi capability (and it can share it with other devices acting as a wireless router or modem), 4G (LTE) high speed internet connection and fast 3G connection type, over HSPA and EDGE technologies. This device doesn't use a sim card, because it is not a GSM tablet.
This tablet is equipped with only an 8 MP back camera. It also films videos in Full HD 1920x1080. This camera also includes some good features like flash, digital image stabilization and HDR mode.
The Amazon Fire HDX 8.9 also features some interesting characteristics as Bluetooth (enables communication with other bluetooth tablets and accessories) and GPS, and a few sensors likeLight Sensor, Accelerometer and Gyroscope.
The Amazon Fire HDX 8.9 is priced 379 dollars, not a good offer for a portable tablet this level. It doesn't matter whether you you love taking pictures, need a tablet to majorly use social networks and internet browsing, will use it for playing games or will use it as a work tablet device, you will probably love this tablet device. Amazon sells this device with USB 2.0 cable, and Quick Start Guide and 9W Amazon PowerFast charger.
