32 GB     See other variants reviews Score: 67 / 100

Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 is a fascinating Android device launched back in the year 2013, packed with a big size 8.9" capacitive touch-screen, an 8 MP back facing camera and a Quad-Core processor speeding at 2200 MHz.

Amazon justmade the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 in color black. The Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 just has 9.09 inches long, but it is still able to fit a a 8.9 inches display. The Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 has a gorgeous design, with a thickness of just 0.31". This device feels much lighter than what one would think about a tablet like this.

Amazon decided to equip this tablet using a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 MSM8074 system chip, which holds a very powerful Quad-Core processor running at 2200 MHz with a huge 2 GB RAM. Graphic intensive games and applications often consume a lot of CPU cycles, so this tablet also also has an Adreno 330 GPU working at 450 megahertz to take care of them, leaving the processor free for other tasks. A great point of the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 is the 32 GB astonishing internal storage and though it doesn't come with an external memory slot, it is still enough to store hundreds of apps without even thinking about running out of space.

This device has only an 8 MP back-facing camera. The camera also has flash.

This tablet includes a high-tech 1600 x 2560 8.9 inches screen, which makes it impossible to even distinguish the pixels composing the screen. Its screen uses LCD capacitive technology, with a very good 400 cd/m2 brightness and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.

This tablet features Wi-Fi capability (and it can be provided to other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), LTE 4G fast connectivity and fast 3G data connection, using HSPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 doesn't have a sim card, because it is not a GSM enabled tablet.

The Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 also includes some cool characteristics as Bluetooth and GPS, and some sensors likeLight Sensor, Accelerometer and Gyroscope.

It doesn't matter whether you want this portable tablet to take many photographs, want it for gaming, want this device majorly for social networks and internet browsing or are looking for a tablet for work, this tablet is definitely the right one for you.
