Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9 is a fair quality Android tablet released back in the year 2012, counting with a big size 8.9" multi-touch screen, a very powerful Dual-Core processor ticking at 1500 MHz and a 1.3 megapixels front camera. That's everything we have to say? Not at all, it's just the introduction.
Amazon decided to equip this tablet using an exceptional 1.5 gigahertz Dual-Core processing unit, bundled in a TI OMAP4470 chip and only 1 GB of RAM which is a bit poor for such a good tablet. Graphic rendering often consume lots of CPU cycles, so it also also has a 384 MHz PowerVR SGX544 GPU to improve overall performance. A good point of the Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9 is the 64 GB inmense internal storage and while it doesn't include an external memory card slot, it it is more than enough to store hundreds of applications without thinking about filling the tablet.
Amazon only sells the Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9 in black color. This tablet is just 0.35" thick, making it one of the thinnest tablets you can find. The Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9 is a compact portable tablet, given that it presents a 8.9" screen and it only has 9.4" long and 6.4" wide. This time, it seems like Amazon didn't care so much about the weight in this 20 ounces tablet.
This tablet is only equipped with a 1.3 MP front side camera.
Amazon equipped the Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9 with a very good 8.9 inches display, and a 1200 x 1920 resolution, which makes it hard to see the pixels that compose the display. This display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.
This tablet provides Wi-Fi connectivity (but it can't share it with other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot). This tablet doesn't have a sim card, because it is not a GSM tablet.
This device also comes with Bluetooth, and a few sensors likeLight Sensor, Accelerometer and Gyroscope.
In case need a tablet device to play games, this tablet is the correct choice for you. Amazon sells the Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9 with Quick Start Guide and USB 2.0 cable.
