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

  • Die abschließende Bewertung des Kindle Fire HD muss zwingend zweigeteilt erfolgen. Dies ist dem Umstand geschuldet, dass sich der Testkandidat in zwei Kategorien betrachten lässt: Als klassisches Tablet und als ultimatives Instrument, um im Amazon-Univers...

  • beeindruckender 7ZollBildschirm, integrierte StereoLautsprecher liefern tollen Sound, das überarbeitete Interface ist perfekt für die Mediennutzung, Verbesserungen garantieren hohen Gegenwert für den Kaufpreis,
  • ab und an träge Performance, der Fire HD lässt sich nicht so komfortabel halten wie das Nexus 7, im Vergleich zu Google Play sind viele Apps und Games nicht verfügbar, werbefreie Version ist 15 Euro teurer,
  • Mit seinem wunderschönen Bildschirm, dem überarbeiteten Interface und einem riesigen Medienangebot ist Amazons Kindle Fire HD das Tablet, das der Kindle Fire hätte sein sollen. Fanden Sie diesen Testbericht nützlich? ...

  • Abstract:  Mit einem Preis von 199 Dollar versucht Amazon seinen Nutzern ein wertiges Tablet zu liefern, das hinsichtlich der Ausstattung allerdings hinter Googles Nexus 7 zurückbleibt. Lohnt sich der Kauf dennoch? Ein hoher Preis ist nicht automatisch ein Indika...

  • Starker Herausforderer Der Kindle Fire HD ist in der 7-Zoll-Klasse ein starker Konkurrent. Wer schon andere Tablets kennt, muss sich bei der Bedienung umgewöhnen. Für Neueinsteiger ist es das perfekte Gerät zum Konsumieren von Inhalten aller Art. Eini...
