Fire HDX

The Fire HDX was a line of high-end, high-definition tablet computers produced by Amazon.com, succeeding the original Kindle Fire HD and preceding the Fire HD series. Key characteristics of the Fire HDX tablets included their faster processors, higher screen resolutions, lighter weight, and the introduction of features like Mayday, a live on-device tech support service. The Fire HDX line was available in both 7-inch and 8.9-inch screen sizes.

The operating system was a forked version of Android called Fire OS, deeply integrated with Amazon's ecosystem of digital content and services. This meant access to the Amazon Appstore, Amazon Prime Video, Kindle books, and other Amazon offerings. The Fire OS interface significantly differed from standard Android, focusing on content consumption and Amazon's specific offerings.

The Fire HDX tablets were positioned as premium devices targeting users seeking high performance and a seamless Amazon content experience. While well-regarded for their hardware and performance, the tight integration with Amazon's ecosystem and the limitations of the Fire OS Appstore were points of consideration for potential buyers. The line was eventually discontinued, with Amazon shifting focus to the Fire HD series.
