Comparisons Featuring Amazon Kindle Fire
Short Review
- The Amazon Kindle Fire features a compact design with dimensions of 190 x 120 x 11.4 mm and a weight of 413 grams, making it portable but slightly heavier than some competitors.
- Its 7.0-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 600 x 1024 pixels, offering a pixel density of approximately 170 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks high-definition clarity.
- Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU and a TI OMAP 4430 chipset, paired with 8GB of storage and 512MB of RAM, suitable for light usage.
- The device does not include a rear or front camera, limiting its functionality for photography or video calls.
- A 4400 mAh battery provides decent longevity, but it lacks fast charging and wireless capabilities.
- The software runs on a customized version of Android 2.3, which may feel outdated compared to current standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, but it does not support Bluetooth or NFC.
- The Kindle Fire also features a headphone jack, which is a useful addition for audio.
- There are no stereo speakers, so audio output may be limited.
- Overall, the Kindle Fire is a straightforward device focused on basic media consumption without advanced features.
