The editors didn't like

  • Amazon's rear-facing camera has average image quality
  • The software still has a long way to go before it's on the same level as iOS or Android. The OS-level lag everyone saw in the hands-on demos after the announcement is not nearly as bad in a normal use environment. But there's still more lag launching larg
  • The UI lag can be pretty bad at times
  • But most of it occurs switching between tasks and opening up apps. I'm not sure what the deal is here
  • The older processor
  • Or Amazon's poor use of the UI thread. When you're just kind of moving around Fire OS
  • It's
  • Battery life
  • While decent
  • Is not as promised
  • Browser is still slow
  • Despite the ostensibly more mature Silk predictive loading system and MIMO hardware
  • Features like X-Ray and FreeTime are either unreleased or underdeveloped at this point
  • Ugly
  • The a
  • Extremely limited memory in the base configuration. Short battery life
  • Lock-screen ads cost $15 to eliminate
  • Modified Android OS excels at serving up Amazon content but remains cluttered and restrictive
  • Amazon App Store can't compete with Google Play
  • Heavier and wider than some competing tablets
  • Limited to Amazon's Appstore
  • Its plastic redesign feels cheap and it lacks the Mayday instant customer service feature. Free space on the 8GB models runs out quickly and there's no expandable memory option. The Amazon app store is less extensive than the Google Play store
  • Bottom Line
  • The 7-inch Amazon Kindle Fire HD is a great way to consume your Amazon content on a small screen
  • But it's not the fastest or most flexible $200 tablet any more
  • Ads on lock screen cost 15 dollars to remove
  • Considerably wider than Nexus 7
  • Smaller app selection than Google Play
  • Browser off limits in FreeTime mode
  • Charger costs extra
  • No access to the Google Play Store or other Google services
  • No access to the Google
  • Rigidly locked to the Amazon ecosystem. Sluggish on occasion. Other tablets have more apps
  • Clunky
  • Generic design
  • Locked to Amazon apps and content
  • No expandable memory
  • Sluggish performance for some tasks
  • Unintuitive interface
  • Battery drains quickly
  • Lockscreen ads are blatant and annoying
  • Amazon goes overboard upselling products
  • Interface is laggy at times
  • Limited to Amazon services & content
  • Amazon email/calendar apps don't match Google's
  • No homescreen customization
  • Software can be buggy and sluggish
  • App selection is still weak
  • For lean-back experiences only
  • Lacks Goole Play and other core apps
  • Still lacking depth of personalization
  • Silk browser still needs work. No quick app switching. No default camera app. Email
  • Calendar and contacts feel like afterthoughts — the emphasis here is clearly on consuming content
  • Playing games and reading books
  • Not advanced productivity
  • Occasionally sluggish performanceConstant sales pitches

  • Wer für ein Mini-Tablet weniger als 200 Euro auf den Tisch legt, darf keine Höchstleistung erwarten. Einen echten Sieger in dem Testfeld auszumachen, fällt dennoch nicht schwer. Schließlich liefert Asus mit dem Nexus 7 eine durchweg überzeugende Leistung....

  • angelangt bleiben wir etwas zwiegespalten. Ohne Frage ist der Amazon Kindle Fire HD ein sehr attraktives Angebot für 199 €. Wir haben uns bisher vor dem Vergleich gedrückt, doch natürlich konkurriert es direkt mit dem Google Nexus 7. Für 199 € bekomme...

  • Bevor es Diskussionen wegen der Preise gibt. Man muss wissen, das so ein Kindle oder Nexus massiv von Amazon bzw. Google subventioniert wird. Anders wären solche Preise nicht möglich gewesen. Beim iPad gibt es so etwas nicht und daher ist es eben eine Eck...

  • Der Kindle Fire HD baut auf einer guten Hardware-Basis auf: Das IPS-Display ist farb- und leuchtstark und Inhalte werden scharf darstellt. Die Hintergrundbeleuchtung könnte für helle Umgebungen zwar etwas kräftiger sein, verrichtet ihren Dienst in durc...

  • Auf Amazon zugeschnitten, Gutes Display, Flotte Hardware, Datenabgleich über Amazon Cloud, Lange Akkulaufzeit
  • Kamera nich frei nutzbar, Auf Amazon zugeschnitten, Kein Zugang zum Play Store, Wenig Anschlüsse, Erkennt nur wenige Dateiformate
  • Das Kindle Fire HD lohnt sich vor allem für Nutzer, die bereits viele Inhalte bei Amazon gekauft haben oder ihren eBook-Kindle erweitern wollen. Schmalere Modelle wie das Nexus 7 liegen bequemer in der Hand. Ärgerlich ist, das Amazon die Kamera des Tablet...
