Amazon Kindle Fire HD 2013
 |
With this new model, Amazon delivers a new budget product next to the HDX models. In terms of specs, Amazon Kindle Fire HD 2013 could be placed next to Tesco’s Hudl, but here we will reveal some more details about the tablet. The new model has the same price as Hudl, but Amazon’s offering includes a customized version of Android. That means all apps, books, videos, music are accessible via Amazon’s own store, which is very limited in comparison with Google Store. The Kindle Fire HD 2013 runs Fire OS 3.0 which is a customized Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. The display has a resolution of just 1280 x 800 pixels or a pixel density of 216ppi. That means, the colors are not as accurate as they should be in a Full HD display. However, bear in mind it is a budget device and the specs are quite normal. The tablet measures 191 x 128 x 10.6 mm and weighs 345 grams. It has two stereo speakers at front with Dolby Digital Plus sound enhancement. The internal storage is either 8 or 16 GB while the processor is a dual-core at 1.5 GHZ backed by 1 GB of RAM. Would you buy the Amazon Kindle Fire HD 2013? The price is around 150 GBP. |
