The Fire HDX is among the first Android tablets to feature an Snapdragon 805 processor and an Adreno 420 GPU. The 8.9-inch display has a resolution that is higher than the iPad with a pixel density of 339pi and 100% sRGB color accuracy. The Dynamic Light Control feature automatically adjusts the white point of the display depending on the ambient light of the surroundings. Impressively, the new Fire HDX is 20% lighter than the iPad Air and weighs in only 13.2 ounces. The frame of the tablet has been made from a single piece of machined magnesium “with a blend of glass and nylon molded onto the unibody.”
The Kindle Fire HDX is already up for pre-order for $379 and will start shipping from October this year.
