Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 Review

Wi-Fi Only     See other variants reviews Score: 65.7 / 100

Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 is an amazing Android tablet device released many years ago, which features an 8 MP back facing camera, a 8.9 inches touch-screen and a very powerful Quad-Core processor running at 2200 megahertz.

Amazon decided to equip the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 using a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 MSM8074 chip, backed up by a very powerful 2200 MHz Quad-Core CPU and a huge 2 GB RAM. Handling graphic calculations, it also counts with a 450 MHz Adreno 330 graphic processing unit. An interesting aspect of the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 is its 16 GB quite big internal memory and although it doesn't include an SD memory slot, 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.

This tablet is just 0.31" thick, taking it to the thinnest tablet's category. The Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 is a compact tablet, given that it has a 8.9" screen and it's only 9.09" long. This tablet feels much lighter than what one would think about a portable tablet of this size. This tablet is available just in black color.

This tablet has a completely amazing 1600 x 2560 8.9-inches display, providing this tablet with an amazing image quality. This display uses LCD capacitive technology, with a nice 400 cd/m2 brightness and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

This tablet is equipped with only an 8 MP back camera. To complete the camera, it also features flash.

This tablet includes WiFi capability (and it can be provided to other devices as a mobile hotspot), LTE (4G) high speed data connection and 3G fast connectivity, using HSPA and EDGE technologies. This tablet doesn't use a sim card, because it doesn't work with GSM connections.

This tablet also includes a few nice features like Bluetooth (provides communication with other devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS Navigation, and a couple sensors likeLight Sensor, Accelerometer and Gyroscope.

This tablet is definitely the right one for you if you are looking for a social device, you love taking photos, are looking for a tablet for work or will use it as a gamer portable tablet.
