Recommendation:
Before buying a tablet and then disappointedly complain about its "flaws" comparing with other devices (for example Nexus 7), take a balanced attitude to all the pros and cons. Remember, when you buy an Amazon Kindle Fire HDX tablet, you buy a top-of-the-device hardware and access ONLY (at the moment!) To the Amazon ecosystem.

Of course, it’s not clear whether you can put Google Play on it right now or have to wait for “improved” firmware

With this, everything is clear, you can not put Google play without root, because google app system

Guys, I don't understand wireless networks. Therefore, I want you to help me understand. Will this configurationhttp://amazonbay.ru/amazon/product/B00CUT8AJM(Kindle Fire HDX 7 ", HDX Display, Wi-Fi and 4G LTE, 64 GB - Includes Special Offers) to work with our sims (RF) at least 3g?

So far, they have not just tested, but even bought a device with this configuration. Release LTE version c 14/11/13. Therefore, it is difficult to say what will work and how. If we proceed from the experience of using the previous generation Kindle Fire HD, then it will probably work. In the header there is a link to the positive experience of using LTE from Megaphone
Root will have to wait.

Will GPS be in LTE only version or not?

GPS only with LTE
Sensors Ambient light sensor, accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS (4G)

Hello everyone, I am going to take this unit. There is some kind of garbage with light, it gives blue on the sides of the screen, it upsets it strongly, of course.
And even the firmware is still under it.

The logic is impressive. "Correct color" = "garbage."
So you can still find on sale Chinese tablets with TFT and plastic and a battery for two hours who do not need "garbage";)

If you’re trying to make it your best 20% improvement in power efficiency.
It can be seen as a very narrow background, such as books or web pages. The HDX 7 "can be seen at a glance.


To achieve perfect color accuracy on the Kindle Fire HDX 7 "with the lowest possible battery consumption and device weight, we used blue LEDs instead of white ones. Blue backlighting provides much more accurate image and rich colors, and up to 20% improved energy efficiency.
As a result of using blue LEDs, you may notice a very faint blue tint along the edges of the device with a white screen background, for example in books and web pages. All displays have some level of glow around the edges, and the highlight on the Kindle Fire HDX 7 is due to the technology used to ensure perfect color accuracy.


There was also a phrase that was already removed from the product page, which states that “most LCDs use white LEDs and then apply filters to extract the desired color. The result is often a compromise between tonality and color accuracy, and attempts to solve this compromise lead to increased power consumption. "

I take the tablet to my son, and his Kindle CPU is more important in games, he just likes the Amazon interface, but doesn’t need LTE.

Do not want to bother - take the Nexus 7 2013. Judging by the old Kindles (I own the kindle fire 1st gen), the CM standards for use will be released some 6 months after the release. And already almost ideal - in a year. Although looking at the iron and the prevalence of such in other manufacturers should do things better.

Here are the norms of the review in Russian

I read to the phrase: "So that buyers from Russia have 12 months of a standard guarantee ... they carry exactly the same benefits as an umbrella to fish." If the authors are not in the courses on the international guarantee of Amazon, then there’s no point reading further. On laptopbook reviews generally amaze with their illiteracy. Well, if the education of the authors of an article is limited to five classes and they manage to make mistakes in every second word - at least they would have thought through the Word to miss the spell checker ...
Ps. I finished reading for the sake of interest that these pyryvodchiki were done there. Nay, of course, very creatively. Rather, of course, not a translation, but a retelling from memory with the addition of gag. You see, you read the original article, then there was a stormy weekend, the day of the Komsomol, smoothly flowing into the celebration of the anniversary of the October Revolution ... and the translatorscarried bysuffered ...
Generally -here is the link to the original review.

Is it humor or is it necessary to wait?

And what have you seen so funny? On the Kindle, suddenly, really Android version 4.2.2.
And you should not wait - google, we find a suitable picture (for example, such as on the screen under the spoiler), save it, open it in the image viewer, take it in hand, take pictures.
