The editors didn't like

  • Silly Origami camera mode
  • Smaller screen than you might like
  • Specs don't add up to industry-leading performance
  • Software has some bugs
  • Optional keyboard feels cheap
  • Camera's are merely serviceable
  • Tied tightly to Amazon's services. Limited storage in the initial configuration
  • Lock-screen ads cost extra to remove
  • No MicroSD card slot
  • Amazon Appstore remains a fraction of the size of Google Play
  • Power and volume-button location
  • Mediocre cameras
  • Smaller app selection than competition
  • Limited onboard storage
  • The remote video viewing feature won't be ready at launch
  • And ad-free versions still cost an extra $15. The 16GB of space runs out quickly when storing HD movies
  • And there's no built-in storage expansion. Lack of Google Play access means many apps still
  • No challenge to the iPad as a productivity device
  • Not that much less expensive than an iPad
  • Its superiority as a content device is contingent on buying most of your books
  • Movies
  • And music through Amazon
  • No HDMI port or MicroSD card slot
  • Amazon Appstore is about a tenth the size of Google Play

  • Not a whole lot that's dramatically different
  • The experience still lacks productivity depth
  • Platform is still limited with its apps selection
  • App ecosystem lags behind iOS and Android
  • And Google apps could fill in big gaps. The best deal is an 16GB version with lockscreen ads
  • But the an adfree 32GB HDX jumps up to 4. Doesn't look any different than the last one. Firefly doesn't always work
  • Mediocre camera
  • Can't access to Google Play Store apps

  • Finesse et poids, Présence d'un capteur photo arrière, Ecran de qualité, Performances graphiques
  • Pas de port microSD, Produit très/trop centré sur Amazon, OS en retard
  • Belles finitions, puissance graphique, écran remarquable... Amazon rend une très bonne copie avec sa Kindle Fire HDX de 8,9 pouces. Pourtant, la tablette reste accrochée à sa formule de développement - placer Amazon au cœur d'une tablette - sans en corrig...

  • Excellent écran, Finesse/légèreté, Facilité d'utilisation
  • Pas de Play Store, Fermé sur l'écosystème Amazon, Publicité sur les versions de base
  • Le Kindle Fire HDX 8,9 pouces a tout pour être une très bonne tablette: un design fin et léger, un écran d'excellente qualité, un processeur rapide et une interface simple et agréable.Pourtant, il est nécessaire de rappeler qu'elle ne s'adresse pas à tou...

  • Tablette fine et légère, Excellent écran, Très bonnes performances et autonomie, Prix
  • Système d'exploitation austère, Boutique Amazon imposée, Ecosystème incomplet en France
  • Une bonne tablette gâchée par un mauvais logiciel, voici en résumé ce qu'est le Kindle Fire HDX 8,9". Amazon réalise quasiment un sans-faute au niveau du matériel: l'appareil est léger, fin, puissant et doté d'un excellent écran. Le tout proposé à un pri...

  • Ecran IPS bien défini, Tablette de bonne qualité
  • Trop de commerce, tue le commerce...
  • D'un côté, les clients assidus d'Amazon s'offriront sans hésiter cette nouvelle tablette de bonne qualité, notamment pour son prix et son hardware de dernière génération. De l'autre, les amoureux d'Android passeront rapidement leurs chemins. En cause, un...

  • Définition et résolution d'écran,  Base technique solide (quad-core à 2,2 GHz),  Légère (374g),  La première mouture était bien finie et offrait un très bon son,  Prix
  • Amazon est le seul magasin d'app/de contenu disponible,  Pas de lecteur de carte mémoire
  • La nouvelle tablette Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 d'Amazon vient se placer en tête de notre comparatif des modèles grands formats. Moins coûteuse que l'iPad, elle se pose en rivale sérieuse avec son superbe écran ainsi que sa puissance et son autonomie de choc. C'...
