What customers don't like about Amazon Kindle Fire Hdx 4G (2GB + 16GB)

  • Restrictive Fire OS with no official access to the Google Play Store or Google apps
  • Limited third-party app selection compared to standard Android or iOS devices
  • Camera performance is generally considered subpar for high-quality photography

Verdict

The Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 4G (3rd Generation) is a high-performance tablet featuring a 7-inch HDX display with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 at 323 ppi and 100% sRGB color accuracy. It is powered by a 2.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor and 2GB of RAM, providing a fluid experience for media consumption and gaming within the Fire OS 3 ecosystem. Key characteristics include 4G LTE connectivity with assisted GPS, dual-band MIMO Wi-Fi, and a lightweight 311g design with a magnesium chassis. Main pros consist of its exceptionally sharp and bright display, powerful hardware that handles multitasking with ease, and the innovative (though now discontinued) Mayday on-device tech support. However, notable cons include the lack of a microSD slot for expanding the 16GB internal storage, a limited app selection due to the absence of the Google Play Store, and the absence of a rear-facing camera on this 7-inch model.
