#KINDLE HDX 7 SPECS ANDROID#

So it’s a bit of a beast, but it’s worth mentioning that you might not be able to download the exact Android games (or versions) that you’re after. Some of the stores, such as Games, can stutter when scrolling through choices, but apps download quickly thanks to dual-band Wi-Fi, while streaming is spot-on. It’s amazing that a tablet as reliably fast and capable as this new Kindle Fire is going for just £200 – Amazon’s really stepped up the performance, and it makes the difference in the little bits of navigation around the OS. What does that mean? They’ve chucked everything at the HDX, and Fire 3.0 runs beautifully as a result. Even the virtual 5.1 surround sound does a decent job – we actually paused a Netflix stream to check if some background jazz was coming from the tab or another room. If films are your bag, clap your hands over your ears and pretend you never heard us say anything about the HDX’s slightly blue LED tendency.ĭual stereo speakers with Dolby Digital Plus audio sound nice and punchy, too, and the placement at the top of the HDX’s back mean you’re unlikely to accidentally cover one up. It’s minimal, barely noticeable when watching movies, but once you spot it you won’t be able to stop your eyes travelling back to it. The better-than-full HD screen on the HDX is gorgeous, then, with one small niggle: white webpages can nudge towards the creamier end of the spectrum and when using apps or browsing pages with a white background, you occasionally encounter a blue tint, especially in the corners. Skintones look natural and vivid colours dazzle in the best possible way. From HD Lovefilm streams of Looper to hi-res images loaded onto the HDX, everything looks clear and clean from every angle. It’s no surprise that Amazon prioritises picture quality, because that’s what Kindle tablets are all about: watching stuff.
