In early September, Amazon unveiled their new and improved Kindle Fires to the world. The Kindle Fire HD is to be considered as Amazon’s high-end tablet for your reading and media consumption. I got a chance to spend some time with the 7inch Fire HD, which starts at $199 for the 16GB model, to see what Amazon did differently with this one.
- The 7inch LCD HD display is beautiful. The 1280 x 800 resolution is right on par with the likes of the Nexus 7 w/ accurate color reproduction.
- Amazon offered an improved build over the standard Fires. It is lightweight and offers a great build/feel to it. The rear is quite the fingerprint magnet though.
- The dual-speakers using the Dolby’s audio system is probably the best speakers I’ve heard on a tablet. At full volume everything pushed out of there was loud and clear.
- Not sure whether its the software or the hardware to blame but the HD still suffers from the same laggy, buggy experience as the original Fire.
Gonna spend more quality time with the latest tablet from Amazon and offer up a complete analysis for a review.
