The above are just the notable points based on under a week experience and we hope to update this as we get to know more of Kindle Fire HDX. This is a very useful feature to keep every Kindle-sharing household at peace. ![]() Needless to say, it supports secure connection to accounts (with SSL encryption) as most modern email clients should do.ħ) user profile: you can create user profiles for 2 adults and 4 children by keeping every one's settings (books, apps, videos, etc.) separate. We really felt at home as the setup and day to day usage is identical to the POP3 account on Windows Phone which we have used for over two years (and from experience the best email account out there). Automatic brightness control is also a very useful feature as the screen brightness is adjusted based on the surrounding light.Ħ) e-mail - we tested the email client provided by Kindle Fire HDX and setting it up with POP3 account was quite straightforward. Very impressive and we like it very much for our young children to use the Kindle on our terms! Yes, you can set this up for two or more children (update: with the latest upgrade up to 4 children).ĥ) Reading e-Books - of course the core function of the Kindle - and the slim and light weight display with high definition really makes it an enjoyable experience for e-book reading. For instance, you can set in such a way that a child can play a game only after reading a book for a specified time, and within a designated time interval in a day. In fact, the KFT goes a step further by implementing quite useful educational objectives. Well done Amazon!Ĥ) Kindle Free Time - the same idea as 'Kids Corner' on Windows Phone 8 and a very impressive profile setup for customising Kindle's content for a child while keeping sensitive information away under lock. We tested both with Netflix and Amazon Instant Video and the quality is first class (of course, this depends on the Wi-Fi connection and the test is based on ADSL broadband with connection bit rate in excess of 4 Mbps).ģ) Web browsing - Amazon's Silk browser has really come off age (the mono-colour experimental Silk on Kindle Touch tells a different story!), to the extent that you wouldn't notice much difference compared with the other major browsers. In a short while ownership of the Kindle Fire HDX, we are more than impressed with it, the following being some of the highlights and in no particular order:ġ) Skype call - in fact the first thing we used it for on day one, and better than the quality we had on a laptop, noting its very obvious advantage of ultimate portability and mobility (with an incredibly slim and light weight at under 400 grams!).Ģ) Watching Video Streaming - yes, most of us may not like to watch movies on small screen, but should you put this tablet to the test of online streaming, the quality it delivers is quite impressive indeed. In fact, the new features this tablet provides dwarfs the original function of the Kindle by that we mean the excellent e-book reading function is now a small part of what the Kindle Fire is capable of. ![]() We've been very impressed by the multimedia experience the HDX delivers: excellent display and audio, as well as picture and video recording capabilities. The Bank Holiday promotion also played a role in the decision. ![]() Having waited for a while (and with increasingly more positive reviews), we finally took a plunge to get the 8.9" HDX with 16GB storage capacity. We've been putting off upgrading our Kindle Touch to Fire HD/DHX as we were not confident if the newer generations of Kindle were really up to the job (yes, based on mountains of reviews on these gizmos). 8MP rear-facing camera with LED flash for high-resolution photos and 1080p HD video, plus a front-facing 720p HD camera for Skype video calls and more.Get free assistance from an Amazon expert 24x7, 365 days a year Introducing the "Mayday" button - revolutionary, on-device tech support.Ultra-fast 2.2GHz quad-core processor - 3x more powerful than previous generation - with 2GB of RAM and Adreno 330 GPU for fast, fluid gaming, video and multi-tasking.Breakthrough ultra-light design - weighing just 374g, the magnesium unibody makes it 34% lighter than the previous generation.Exclusive 8.9" HDX display (2560x1600) with unsurpassed pixel density (339 ppi) and perfect colour accuracy (100% sRGB) for vivid, lifelike images that go beyond standard HD.
