Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 Review

16 GB     See other variants reviews Score: 65.8 / 100

Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 is an amazing tablet released many years ago, having a 8.9 inches multi-touch display, an extremely fast 2.2 GHz Quad-Core processing unit and an 8 mega-pixels back camera.

This tablet is just available in color black. This tablet feels much lighter than what one would expect from a tablet device like this. The Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 just has 9.09 inches long and 6.22 inches wide, but it manages to hold a 8.9" display. This device is incredibly slim and comfortable, with a thickness of just 0.31 inches.

Amazon designed this device with a completely amazing 8.9" display, and a 1600 x 2560 resolution, which makes everything look amazing. Its display uses LCD capacitive technology, with a brightness of 400 candela/m2 and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.

Amazon ships the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 MSM8074 chip, holding a high performance 2200 MHz Quad-Core processing unit with a big 2 GB RAM memory. Graphic intensive games and apps generally eats a lot of processing time, so it also counts with a 450 megahertz Adreno 330 GPU to help the processor with those tasks. The Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 counts with a 16 GB quite big internal storage and even though it doesn't include a slot for external memory cards, it should be enough to store a couple hundred apps and games, but it might not be enough if you are fan of the largest games available nowadays or taking tons of photos and videos.

The Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 is equipped with only an 8 mega-pixels back facing camera. The camera also counts with flash.

This tablet features wi-fi capability (and it can be shared with other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE) high performance internet connection and fast 3G data connection, supported by HSPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This tablet doesn't use a sim card, because it is not a GSM tablet.

The Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 also comes with a few nice characteristics as Bluetooth (provides communication with other portable tablets, computers and accessories) and GPS, and a couple sensors likeLight Sensor, Accelerometer and Gyroscope.

No matter whether you you love taking photos, want a tablet device to play tons of games, will use this tablet device mainly for social networks and internet browsing or want a work device, you will probably love this tablet.
