Amazon’s Kindle Fire HDX Android tablets hit the UK from £199
Amazon’s latest high-resolution 7in and 8.9in Kindle Fire HDX
Amazon launched its UK assault on the highly competitive Christmas tablet market today releasing pricing and pre-order for its two latest tablets.
The Kindle Fire HDX Android tablets will cost between £199 and £489, depending on size and storage. Pre-order is available on Amazon’s site and the tablets will start shipping from 27 November.
The ad-supported 7-inch version costs £199 for 16GB of storage with wifi only, increasing to £339 for the 64GB variant with 4G and without ads in the US.
The larger 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HDX with the same 16GB of storage and adverts costs £329 with wifi, and reaches £489 for 64GB of storage and 4G without ads.
Removal of ads from the lockscreen and homescreen costs £10. Amazon’s tablet will face stiff competition this Christmas from Google’s £199 Nexus 7 and £319 Nexus 10, and Apple’s iPad Mini, which sells for upwards of £269.
Finally, the Nexus killer? The two tablets are very, very, very similar. Anyone planning to get Amazon Fire HDX?
The problem with Amazon's Android table is the forked version of android they run, you cant get google play store or any play store applications on Amazon forked android.
