It’s nowhere near as obvious or intrusive as the backlight leakage on the Nexus 9, for instance.Īmazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9in 2014: Fire OS

One small complaint is that there’s a tiny amount of backlight bleed around the panel’s edges, and a slightly more noticeable patch in the bottom-left corner, but this is only visible in a dark room. Colour fidelity is only a whisker away from that of the iPad Air 2, with the HDX 8.9in covering an almost identical range of colours (92% of the sRGB gamut vs the iPad Air 2’s 93.3%), and colour accuracy is a touch less refined (2.04 delta E vs 1.82delta E). Measured with our X-Rite colorimeter, it yielded a maximum brightness of 470cd/m 2 and a contrast ratio of 1,135:1 – both better figures than the iPad Air 2. The display’s technical performance is excellent, too. It’s impossible to discern the individual pixels, even if you press your nose to the screen. The 2,560 x 1,600-resolution panel boasts a ridiculously high pixel density of 339ppi, higher even than the 264ppi of the iPad Air 2, and as a result movies, games, books and websites all look fantastically crisp.

It will comfortably provide a couple of transatlantic flights worth or movie watching before expiring. Others come close, and notably Google’s Nexus 9 isn’t far adrift of Amazon’s achievements here, but the new HDX 8.9in is leaps and bounds ahead of the rest. Make no mistake, the HDX 8.9in still has the beating of every other tablet on the market.

In flight mode, with screen brightness dimmed down to 120cd/m2, Wi-Fi off and a 720p movie looping continuously, the HDX lasted a herculean 16hrs 55mins, almost an hour longer than the previous model. Even to the naked eye, frame rates in the array of Ice Storm Unlimited tests were vastly smoother, with two of the three tests running at twice the average frame rate of last year’s model.Īmazingly, battery life hasn’t suffered due to the super-powered new hardware. Using the Ice Storm Unlimited test, the new HDX 8.9in almost doubled the score of the previous version (18,986 vs 9,794).
We couldn’t get our usual test, GFXBench, to work even after sideloading it onto the HDX 8.9in, so we compared the two models using Futuremark’s 3DMark benchmark instead. Gaming performance is streets ahead of the previous generation. The improvements weren’t quite so dramatic in the browser tests we tried, however: SunSpider was a touch slower on the new model (733ms vs 704ms) and Peacekeeper saw the faster CPU edge out a narrow lead (1,016 vs 945). Tested with Geekbench 3, single-threaded performance is up 18% on the previous generation and multithreaded performance is up 11%. The 2.2GHz Snapdragon 800 and Adreno 330 in the previous model have made way for a 2.5GHz Snapdragon 805 SoC and an Adreno 420 GPU – and these provide a dramatic performance boost. Inside, however, it’s all change: the HDX 8.9in (2014) sports a powerful new CPU and GPU. Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9in 2014: performance
