This limitation isn’t reserved for Amazon tablets, but you should beware of any low pixel tablet. Amazon’s web page says, “enjoy millions of movies, TV shows, songs, Kindle e-books, apps and games”, so they want you to do just that. Why could low pixel count be an issue? Well, the closer you view something and the lower the pixel count, be prepared to potentially see pixels when surfing the web, reading that book, playing that game or watching that video. I’m not finding anything stunning about this display.
A Samsung Galaxy S6 has nearly 4M pixels, 4X more pixels. A 1080P TV has 2M pixels, twice the Fire HD 8. The Fire HD 8 has an 8”, 1,280x800 pixel display delivering 1M pixels at 189 pixels per inch. Before I became an analyst, I spent 20 years making products, so I know a little about this. I believe there’s nothing wrong with that as long as consumers know what they’re getting and not getting. Amazon has made design trade-offs to hit those price points and it’s not necessarily about getting that “screaming deal” on the highest quality electronics.
To cut to the chase, you do get what you pay for. What I want to focus on here, though, is the performance and experience of the tablets driven by the design and component selection. Also, you cannot use any video content from Google or Apple.įire HD 8 design decisions lowers price, too If you have an Android smartphone, you cannot load those paid apps from the Android App Store onto your Fire tablet. Important apps to me like Instagram, YouTube, Hangouts, Snapchat, Ring Video Doorbell aren’t available in the Amazon App store. The selection of apps is lower and typically older. With an Amazon Fire tablet, you also need to buy all apps through ’s app store, not the Android App Store. You must use the Amazon App Store, not the Google App Store
