Amazon Kindle Fire HDX review (7-inch)

Amazon's latest Kindle Fire brings a lot of welcome upgrades and is sure to be a big seller this holiday season.

Great screen ; Long battery life ; Lots of welcome enhancements to Fire OS

No Google Play access ; Starting price includes Special Offers ; No video-out port

Amazon continues to step up its game (and its prices) with the Kindle Fire line. Still, despite a $20 price increase, $229 doesn't seem like a lot to ask for a device like this. From the 1,920 x 1,200 (323-ppi) display to the 2.2GHz quad-core chip...

From Good Enough to Great

Individual hardware specs no longer hold the sway they once did. In order for those CPU, GPU, and RAM numbers to be worth anything, you need an ecosystem. Seamless access to music, video, and books is how Apple, Google, and Amazon hope to woo you to...

Best content-consuming tablet on the market. You can now watch video offline. Battery lasts up to four days with normal usage. Mayday feature adds a unique personal touch to an otherwise boring tablet market. Industrial design, while reminiscent of a...

Forked version of Android means no easy access to Google Play Store. Incredibly easy access to all of Amazon’s commerce services could be bad news for your bank account

Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7

Amazon's 7-inch Kindle Fire HDX is the simplest high-quality small-screen tablet you can buy, and ease of use doesn't come at the cost of performance.

Sharp screen. Fast processor. Extremely easy to use. Amazing live tech support.

Short battery life. Interface is very geared to buying things from Amazon.

Amazon Kindle Fire HDX review (7-inch)

I feel like I'm living inside the Home Shopping Network. For a week I've been relentlessly buying things, downloading things, finding new ways and new excuses to purchase things I definitely...

Gorgeous display ; Amazon's ecosystem is incredible ; Mayday is amazing

There's no replacement for the Play Store ; Core apps still aren't perfect ; Some awkward design decisions

The good gets better, but the bad starts to seem unsolvable

Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7 ( 64 GB, 3G/4G, AT&T)

Not since free shipping has there been a better reason to become an Amazon Prime member than the Kindle Fire HDX 7. The new tablet is affordable, powerful, comfortable, and it boasts enough new and refined features to more than earn its $229 (starting)...

Amazon's Kindle Fire HDX 7 is a performance monster that speeds through Web sites and UI pages at a frantic pace. The screen is impressively sharp and the small light design is comfy for reading books. Mayday is personal and near-instant customer...

The remote video viewing feature isn't ready at launch and ad removal still costs an extra $15. 16GB is too small for 1080p movies and there's no built-in storage expansion. The screen is tarnished by a yellowish tint and the buttons on the back are...

Armed with a powerful processor and Amazon's exhaustive content library, the Kindle Fire HDX delivers incredible value for its price, especially for Amazon Prime members.

Review Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7 Tablet

A brighter Fire. Now in its third generation, the Kindle Fire series shows no signs of burning out. It is still the go-to tablet for Amazon shoppers, but are the new hardware and software updates enough for Android fans to jump ship? We take a closer...

Bright 1920 x 1200 IPS display; Powerful SoC for the price; Smooth performance all-around; Good outdoor usability and contrast; Better build quality than the previous generation; Improved aesthetics; Now includes WWAN options and a front-facing camera;...

Moderate backlight bleeding; Build quality not as rigid as the first generation; No direct access to Android apps or Youtube videos; Rubberized surfaces attract dust and grease and can be hard to clean; No SD reader and the dedicated HDMI-out port has...

The display rivals that of the 2013 Nexus 7 as one of the best in its size class. The hardware is even better and its performance belongs in the upper echelon of available high-end tablets of larger display sizes.

Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7″ Review

You could call Amazon's Kindle Fire the anti-Nexus. While the new Kindle Fire HDX may be based on Android, it's resolutely designed to cater for avid customers of Amazon's store, tailoring just about every part of the experience to streamline your...

There’s a lot to like about the Kindle Fire HDX. The screen is superb, the form-factor sober but sturdy, and the processor cutting edge for the market. Amazon’s $229 starting price (with subsidizing Special Offers on the lockscreen, 16GB of storage,...

Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7 Review

With another year under its belt, electronic commerce giant Amazon is back with its latest budget level tablet in the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX – a force that intends to challenge Google's very own offering. Backed with all the usual sort of hardware...

High quality display ; Speedy performance ; Solid integration with Amazon’s ecosystem

Software experience is limiting ; Lacks rear camera

Knowing already what its competition has on the market, you’d think that Amazon would try to somehow one-up the Google Nexus 7 2013 Edition to become the premier 7-inch budget tablet offering heading into the upcoming holiday season. However, that’s...
