Amazon can also be small – and especially low: The seven-inch tablet Kindle Fire HD is expected to attract 129 Euros for new customers. Worth the Buy? COMPUTER BILD has tested the small tablet PC.

Can the Amazon Kindle Fire HD convince the 2013er version? The test shows strengths and weaknesses.

D he online retailer Amazon, the 2013er version of its Kindle Fire HD has revised sharply compared to its predecessor: The screen now has narrower margins, the case is like that of the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9. Bring the user’s benefits? Not always, as the test shows.

keys behind, cameras missing

Off switch and volume buttons sit at the back – this takes practice for a blind operation. And with a weight of 340 grams, the Kindle is heavier than the larger iPad mini.

display okay

The seven-inch display (17.8 inches) is 1280×800 pixels dar. photos and videos are of the Kindle sharply again – colors he could present but stronger. Best: The touch screen responds quickly and precisely on user inputs
.

High speed

It is powered by the Kindle Fire HD processor OMAP 4 4470 by Texas Instruments. Meanwhile, two cores, each with 1.5 GHz potter. Although it is only a gigabyte of RAM to the side, yet the pace of work in the test was consistently high. Super: The Kindle Fire HD opens web pages with the developed through Amazon browser “Silk”. And that works pretty fast.

No access to Android apps

Too bad: Like all Kindle Fire tablet also has the HD can not access the Google Play Goals. Instead, you get only apps in the AppStore from Amazon. The selection is pretty good, but not nearly as rich as Google.

Equipment incomplete

The five gigabytes of free storage are a joke. Especially since this can not be enlarged by SD card. Better alternative: the 16-gigabyte version of the Fire HD. What both of the tested eight-gigabyte version and the 16-Gaigabyte variant annoying: Both models do not have cameras. Photo and filming thus fall as flat as video calls. In addition, the Kindle Fire HD to HDMI connection, which allows to image contents reflect about on a TV

. Conclusion: Kindle Fire HD (2013)

Surfing, shopping and reading works well by Fire HD. Other applications fall victim to the narrow features. This was also the predecessor already like that.
