introducing amazon kindle fire 2013

"...one of the most gorgeous screens I have seen in a long time." —GigaOM

"It's definitely the 7‐inch Android tablet I'll be recommending to friends." —Mashable

"It's called Mayday, and it's the most remarkable customer service tool I've ever seen." — The Verge

"The Kindle Fire HDX delivers incredible value for its price, especially for Amazon Prime members." — CNET

Powerful Quad‐Core ProcessorKindle Fire HDX tablets are the first tablets to be powered by the 2.2 GHz quad‐core Snapdragon 800 processor, making them the first to clock in at over 2 GHz. It provides 3x more processing power than the previous‐generation Kindle Fire HD and, combined with 2GB of RAM, provides faster app launches, faster website load times, smoother multi‐tasking, and better overall performance.

Console‐Quality GraphicsThe new Adreno 330 graphics processor on Kindle Fire HDX delivers high frame rates and console quality graphics—4x the performance of the previous generation Kindle Fire HD.

Custom Dolby AudioKindle Fire HDX uses the power of Dolby Digital Plus to create a world class audio experience. Dolby Digital Plus includes technology that adjusts volume, creates virtual surround sound, and delivers easier‐to‐understand dialogue in movies and TV shows. Kindle Fire HDX is designed to automatically optimize the audio profile based on what you're doing (with or without headphones), such as watching a movie, listening to music, or talking on Skype.

Improved Battery LifeWith advanced power management technology, Kindle Fire HDX delivers an uncompromised 11 hours of reading, surfing the web on Wi‐Fi, watching video, or listening to music. When you're just reading, Kindle Fire HDX automatically powers down unused system components, extending battery life to 17 hours.

Kindle Fire HDX is perfect for work or play, with the fastest processor on a 7" tablet, the latest graphics engine, world‐class Dolby audio, and a highly portable form factor

The exclusive HDX display brings together exceptional pixel density (323 ppi), perfect color accuracy (100% sRGB), reduced glare, and improved brightness for a superior viewing experience

Breakthrough HDX DisplayKindle Fire HDX has a high resolution display (1920x1200) and high pixel density (323 ppi) for an incredible multimedia experience. The display features over 2 million pixels for vivid, lifelike images that go beyond standard HD.

Perfect ColorBoth the 7" and 8.9" Kindle Fire HDX displays feature perfect color (100% sRGB), displaying images and videos as the photographer or videographer intended.

Better Viewing Indoors and OutThe HDX display features dynamic image contrast, a unique feature that automatically optimizes the color of each pixel based on the amount of light in your surroundings. This makes images and videos even easier to see in any lighting conditions, including outdoors.

Exclusively on Kindle Fire HDX tablets—live on‐device tech support from an Amazon expert is just a tap away with the new "Mayday" button Live On‐Device Support

NEW—Simply tap the "Mayday" button to be connected for free to an Amazon expert who can co‐pilot you through any feature by drawing on your screen, walking you through how to do something yourself, or doing it for you—whatever works best. Mayday is available 24x7, 365 days a year, and it's free. Throughout the process, you will be able to see your Amazon Tech advisor live on your screen, but they won't see you. 15 seconds or less is the Mayday response time goal.

Watch it in ActionKindle Fire HDX is easy to use right out of the box. But when you need extra assistance, the "Mayday" button is there. See how it works in these short commercials.

Fast, Powerful Wi‐FiWhen it comes to HD content, bandwidth is everything. Without it, you get video buffering, slow downloads, and dropped connections. Kindle Fire HDX solves this issue by using state‐of‐the‐art dual‐band, dual‐antenna Wi‐Fi. With this, you'll enjoy fewer dropped connections and faster media streaming, plus you'll be able to go further from your wireless hotspot than with other tablets.

The Latest 4G TechnologyKindle Fire HDX features the latest 4G LTE technology for ultra‐fast mobile broadband, letting you connect to the internet, stream, and download at speeds even faster than Wi‐Fi. Kindle Fire HDX supports multiple bands ensuring that you always have the best and fastest possible connection on AT&T's or Verizon's expansive 4G LTE wireless network.

Front‐Facing HD CameraBoth the 7" and 8.9" Kindle Fire HDX tablets have a front‐facing 720p HD camera, perfect for Skype HD video calls and taking photos to share via Facebook or e‐mail.

Import and EditKindle Fire makes it easy to keep favorite photos and personal videos close at hand. Download your albums from Facebook, or add photos and personal videos (up to 20 minutes long) to Amazon Cloud Drive from your PC, Mac, or phone. Editing on your Kindle Fire is just as easy—simply select a photo to begin editing or use one of many popular apps in the Amazon Appstore.
