Amazon Kindle Fire HDX - User Reviews

  • Of course you don’t get google stuffs right out of the box you dong....... it’s amazon fire tab so they are running fire os not android

  • No.

  • You can install Google playstore manually very easy !

  • This article is very good, I am happy to read the specifications of this tablet, is very interesting.

  • You do not get google services out of the box. Don't really need most of them, as google has websites for things like Hangouts or Docs. Only thing you'll really miss out on is google play store. However, Amazon's App store is NOT bad. Plus, if you have an android phone and use backup apps to backup the .apk's for certain apps you can just transfer them to the tablet anyway. With that in mind, look at the specs for this tablet and consider that companies like Samsung want prices like $299 for tablets that aren't even half as good as this one and this costs under $200. I've been using this tablet since December 2013 and I have no regrets. Only negative things I would have to say is I wish Amazon would let us use Micro SD cards with their tablets, but there's ways around that, too.

  • Amazon is trying to create restrictions similar to Apple inside Android. FAIL!

  • Sorry, you only get to taste amazon app store. You may well instead flash custom rom to have play store enabled but sacrifice your warranty.

  • I don't get google play store out of the box ???????

  • No

  • Can this be used on T-Mobile?

  • The LTE version of this has a nano sim card, not micro. Picked one up and went to try my sim card in it and found out it wouldn't fit. :)

  • It's 4.1 Jelly Bean Because in math, x represents 1

  • Does it support sim card?

  • Is it android? I don't get it, at the beginning there's written Mojito OS,in the end Android 4.x. What is this?

  • You can do almost anything once you root it, you can put Google play store on it, It's certainly better than the nexus 7

  • It will run most of them, not all though! Specifically, expect some problems installing apps from Google. These apps are not present in Amazon app store, and besides finding a reliable source to download from, will require a little bit of hacking to install Google Play Services -a proprietary Google library that is included in Google-certified devices that takes care of authentication in google services among other things-. Related to this, and after sideloading, Google Maps will *NOT* work properly -street names will not render-. Other than those apps, my kindle not only runs everything else I tried, but flies! The processor inside this tablet is really fast. The experience beats hands down all my samsung devices. Also, mind that this tablet is really hard to root, so if you need root-enabled apps like screen video recorders or firewalls it's probably not your tablet.

  • dose it accept all programs and games that could be run on nexus 7 and other android

  • Yes.

  • Can customize android play all hd games of android?

  • you make me laugh. XD the only advantage of this is its CPU 2.2gz than nexus 7 2nd gen, and nothing more. but try to compare nexus to this one. I choose nexus 7 2013 32gb than this tab!! coz i have this one already and the performance really good for 3weeks of using this.(just sharing my experience) ^__^ no offense please.

  • can somebody help me that can we use android compatible apps and games by hdx 7?

  • dude

  • Dude,amazon is using Android

  • No matter how powerful the Kindle Fire turns out to be, I just won't give in. I am an Android user, and the Kindle OS is just not for me. Unless Amazon completely remakes its OS, all I have to say is that it must've been a mistake to create a custom version of the Android OS. The system may still be Android, but its interface is definitely not similar to Android.

  • Don't compare it yet to Nexus 7 FHD. Specs aren't everything, and we still have to wait and see if KF's hardware will give a better user experience than the Nexus 7. Well, Google's to blame for killing Amazon's tablets last year. It's only natural for other companies such as Amazon and Nvidia to aim to produce a better all-rounder than the Nexus 7.

  • i hope it beats nexus 7 in performance even though nexus 7 has got everything out of the box specs but it(n7) has lot of issues which r unresolved yet.....new kindle fire is way too sexy wen compared to prevoius model.kf specs r really cool except os..one shld check out the os part

  • You get a much bulkier heavier device and much worse camera for better CPU comparing with the nexus. Well I think nexus will still stand a good chance.

  • Snapdragon 800, Adreno 330GPU Nexus 7 dont stand a chance..

  • Can you make phone call as a stand alone phone?

  • Can we remove this mayday from the tablet??

  • Nexus 7 is better ! Play store is better than Amazon

  • Did you miss the part with the Snapdragon 800!!

  • you are wrong, this is better than the new nexus 7

  • Better speakers/GPU/CPU/built-quality than Nexus 7 2013 (I can tell). Missing built in-GPS is a letdown for me. Once rootable+custom roms are out for it, it'll be the best 7" tablet of 2013. More future-proof cause of the Snapdragon 800/Adreno 330/2 GB RAM.

  • Not bad, still the nexus is better
