To test out the device, I played everything from more graphically intense games like 'Injustice: Gods Among Us' and 'The Wolf Among Us,' to decidedly less taxing titles like 'Hill Climb Racing' and 'Daddy Long Legs.' For the most part, the HDX performed great with smooth playback and, much like the videos, the games looked rather stunning. With some strong horsepower under its belt, the tablet performed very well, rendering games of all shapes and sizes with only a few hiccups here and there.
Likewise, users can import mp3s and other supported music files from their computers through the included USB cable.įor many, tablets have also become a very popular venue for games, and the Fire HDX does not disappoint in this regard. Music playback was also similarly efficient, and again, while Amazon pushes its own Prime Music service for playback, the app store does offer other music options like Pandora and Spotify. But please, don't tell any of my former film school professors that I said that. HD videos look simply gorgeous on the display, and when paired with a decent pair of headphones, the tablet offers a surprisingly immersive experience.

To be perfectly honest, I'm usually the kind of home theater purist that scoffs at the very idea of watching movies or TV shows on a mobile device - but with its high-res IPS screen, the Fire HDX 8.9 softened even my stone cold heart. As one might expect, playback was smooth and painless, offering great HD quality streams without any performance snags. On the video front, I sampled selections from Amazon's own Prime Instant Video service and a few other popular video streaming apps, including HBO Go. So, just how well do all of these apps actually perform? Well, I'm glad you asked… Still, even millions of apps at your disposal can be meaningless if the hardware and OS can't run them properly.

With that said, the collection is not anywhere near as robust as it is on iOS devices or traditional Android tablets with full Google Play Store access. And while Amazon of course places a heavy emphasis on its own Prime services, there's a decent collection of additional apps in the Amazon app store as well. The tablet runs Amazon's new Fire OS 4 "Sangria," which is a modified version of Android 4.4.2, giving users seamless access to all of the company's multimedia options and Silk browser for web use. 2GB of RAM and 16GB of built-in storage are integrated as well (32GB and 64GB models are available too) along with a battery rated for about 12 hours of mixed use (which proved to be fairly accurate). Under the hood, the Fire HDX features a powerful 2.5 GHz Snapdragon 805 processor and an Adreno 420 GPU MHz. Both cameras offer solid capture performance that should be more than adequate for casual picture taking. The latter allows users to capture multiple pictures to create an image that shifts perspectives as you tilt the tablet screen. The camera app also includes an HDR (high dynamic range), Panorama, and Lenticular feature.

Likewise, an 8MP rear camera with LED flash, Electronic Image Stabilization, and a wide-aperture 5P f/2.2 lens is integrated as well, giving users a nice option for quick pictures and 1080p video.

This back button placement is simple and to the point, but I did find myself occasionally fumbling to feel out their location.Ī 720p front-facing camera is included for Skype calls and taking all those fancy "selfies" that kids seem so crazy about these days. Likewise, two stereo speakers are integrated on the back, along with a dedicated volume control and power button. A micro-USB port is located on the left side and a 3.5mm stereo jack is located on the right side. The tablet measures 9.1" x 6.2" x 0.3" and weighs just 13.2 ounces giving it a light but still sturdy feel. Off-angle viewing is also very good, though the picture does wash out and exhibit a slightly purple cast at extreme angles. With that said, I did detect some minor backlight bleeding toward the edges of the display, especially when the brightness was kicked up in a dark room. And while the device still uses LCD technology, black levels, contrast, and uniformity are relatively strong. In practice, this leads to a wonderfully sharp, vivid, bright, and downright beautiful picture that ranks among the best that the tablet market has to offer. The IPS panel has a resolution of 2560x1600 with 339ppi and 100% sRGB color accuracy. As its name implies, the Fire HDX 8.9 features an 8.9-inch display, providing a sizeable amount of screen real estate without sacrificing portability.
