Amazon has been churning out LCD-based Kindle tablets for the past two years, and there’s no question That the company has improved from the original, the BlackBerry PlayBook-style Kindle Fire. But with the Fire HDX, is there enough of an improvement to upgrade from the Kindle Fire HD?
That’s the question John Biggs and I investigate on this latest episode of Fly Or Die.
John, as a real-life Kindle fanboy, feels thatthis is the very best Fire That Amazon has to sacrifice. The specs have been bumped considerably, with a 1920 × 1200 display at 323ppi, a 2.2-GHz quad-core Qualcomm
Biggs overpriced reported in his review That battery life is improved, while camera functionality has some strange issues.
But for me, I’m not surethat a slightly better display is worth the upgrade, considering That the Fire HD alreadycreated has a hi-res screen. The form factor is nice, as the new model is thinner and lighter, but again the improvements Are not convincing enough for me to advocate throwing down $ 300 on a tablet limited to Amazon content if you alreadycreated have one.
Of course, Amazon is a strong competitor in the tablet market against Apple, and the HDX will most certainly sell well. Plus, at the end of the day, the decision is yours.
