£30 discount on all 7-inch, Wifi-only HDX models until January 2
Amazon UK has announced that it’s lowering the price of all 7-inch Kindle Fire HDX Wifi models by £30 until the new year. The promotion runs until Jan. 2 and sees the cheapest 16GB varaint “with special offers” — i.e. lock screen ads — coming down to £169. As always, buyers can configure their devices with up to 64GB of storage, ads or no ads, and Wifi-only or Wifi + 4G LTE.
Amazon’s latest small form factor tablet features a 7-inch 1920×1200 display, a 2.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 CPU, 2GB of RAM, with Android-based software built around Amazon’s content ecosystem. Here’s what our own Jerry Hildenbrand had to say about the HDX in his recent review —
Should you buy one? That’s going to depend on what you’re looking for in a tablet. If you want something that has access to all the cool apps and Android features we talk about here at AC daily, then no — the Kindle Fire HDX is not for you. On the other hand, if you want a simple, yet elegant portal to a rich content library — and don’t mind that it’s Amazons — then you should definitely grab one.
