7″ Kindle Fire HD Review

Louie Diangson Leave a comment

Last September, Amazon announced two new tablets – a 7-inch and an 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD. While the 8.9-inch is a new offering, the 7-inch is the successor to the popular and very affordable Kindle Fire. Now equipped with an HD display, new design and improved internals, let’s see what this slate has to offer by reading our full review after the break.

Kindle Fire HD

Design and Build

The Kindle Fire HD is more like an evolution instead of an upgrade from the original Kindle Fire. It now sports tapered edges and a wide bezel to provide ample space for the thumbs. Because of that it is definitely wider, a bit taller, but thinner and lighter.

Placed on landscape, on the front is the 7-inch IPS capacitive touchscreen framed by an inch of space on each side while above it is a 1.3 megapixel camera for video chatting. On the right is the headset jack and the power/lock button and volume rocker which are neatly etched into the body. Right on top is the microphone while at the bottom are the microUSB and HDMI ports. Flip the Fire HD on its back and you’ll see the same matte finish found on the original Fire but with a new glossy strip across the back which extends up to the sides where the speakers are located.

Display

Having the HD suffix, it’s obvious that one of the Fire HD’s main feature is the display itself. The original Kindle Fire has a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels (170 ppi), which can already be considered as very acceptable for a 7-inch tablet. In the Fire HD, the resolution was increased to 1280 x 800 pixels (216 ppi) – the same resolution as the Google Nexus 7.

Fire HD_display

The Fire HD’s display uses IPS technology so viewing angles are good but suffers a little under direct sunlight. Overall, the Fire HD’s display proves to be very sufficient for watching videos and reading books.

OS, UI and Apps

This is the part that makes the Kindle Fire HD different from other tablets. Although powered by Google’s Android Ice Cream Sandwich, it is heavily customized to match the device’s function. Instead of having widgets or grid of apps in the homescreen, you are greeted first by a carousel of recently opened apps. To describe the experience, it feels like you’re browsing through a shelf in a bookstore or a video rental shop.

UI_1

Tapping the categories listed above the carousel brings up the grid of apps which are either stored in the cloud or on the device itself. You’ll get the same arrangement when browsing your collection of Books, Games, Videos and Music.

Like other Kindles, the Fire HD’s purpose is to promote content from Amazon. For that reason, an Amazon account is required before you can fully utilize the tablet. If you need to download an app or media, a quick tap on the Store tab brings you a wide selection of content to choose from. Big apps like Facebook, Twitter, Angry Birds, Temple Run and Skype are there but misses out on Google basics like GMaps, Gmail, Google Talk, etc. Amazon even uses Bing as a default search engine for its Silk browser.

UI_2

Although you have the full power of Amazon in your arsenal, getting content from it can be really tricky. When I was still using the original Kindle Fire I can download any app I chose as long as it is free. I’m only notified to update my account with a credit card if the app needs to be paid for. Amazon obviously changed its policies as you now need a credit card info attached to your account to download anything. Okay, no problem, I used my GCash American Express credit info together with a valid US address. Just when I thought everything is okay I was then greeted by this message:

billing

I got frustrated and decided to let it go. The next option was to sideload the apps that I wanted. Out of the five APKs I downloaded only two got installed which is Angry Birds Star Wars and MX Player. I tried using another feature called Amazon Prime which allows you unlimited instant streaming of movies and TV shows. I gave Transformers: Dark Of the Moon a try but was given this message:

geo_res

After that I just stuck to downloading Kindle book samples and sideloading my own eBooks. As it turns out, Amazon has a lot of restrictions now which, unfortunately, doesn’t play too well here in the Philippines.

Camera and Multimedia

The Fire HD has 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera which is good for video chatting. Unfortunately, there’s no other way to access the camera except through Skype.

multimedia

As for music and video playback, the Fire HD can handle it well. Sounds are clear and crisp thanks to its dual stereo speakers with Dolby Digital Plus sound enhancement. Its default video player can play mp4 file formats but not AVI. I was happy to see MX Player in the Amazon app store but its pretty much useless since I can’t download it. Good thing I got it sideloaded and was able to watch my movies.

Performance and Battery Life

The Fire HD uses a dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A9 processor with 1GB of RAM and PowerVR SGX540 GPU. On paper it seems like an entry-level to mid-range tablet but it handles its own well. Animations and transitions are smooth but lags can be noticed every now and then but can be ignored. However, I experience a substantial amount of lag when browsing sites using its Silk browser.

As for battery life, most of the time I use the Fire HD for web browsing and reading eBooks. With that use the tablet can last for 2 days. But add games and a few movies expect the Fire HD to die out under a day.

Conclusion

The Kindle Fire HD, hardware-wise, is an amazing tablet. The build quality is good and the display is great. Even with its modest hardware specs, the tablet still performed well. Software-wise, Amazon’s UI looks amazing but sometimes feels confusing especially for someone who is used to a normal Android tablet layout.

Amazon Prime

The Amazon ecosystem, however, is a double-edged sword. Amazon Prime on its own is already a powerful feature. You’ll get tons of media content ranging from books to movies to TV-series. I don’t think Google or Apple has caught up to that level, yet. However, I find its own app store a bit lacking and its restrictions very inconvenient. In addition, Amazon designed the Fire HD’s system to be sealed shut. Meaning it would be extremely difficult to make the Fire HD do things outside its intended usage. Thus the difficulty in sideloading some apps and making it function like a normal Android tablet.

kindle fire hd_1

Is the Kindle Fire HD worth buying? If you’re looking for a great eBook reader with a full, optimized access to the Amazon Store’s massive amount of content, and granted that everything works as intended, then the Fire HD is definitely recommended. But due to geographical restrictions and Amazon account issues I’ve been experiencing, I’d rather go for a Nexus 7 or an iPad Mini.

Kindle Fire HD (7-inch) specs:
7″ IPS LCD display (1280 x 800) @ 216 ppi
TI OMAP 4460 chipset
1.2GHz dual-core Cortex-A9 processor
PowerVR SGX540
1GB RAM
16GB or 32GB internal storage
WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n, dual-band
Bluetooth 3.0
1.3 MP front-facing camera @ 1280 x 1024 pixels
dual stereo speakers w/ Dolby Digital Plus sound enhancement
193 x 137 x 10.3 mm
395 g

What we liked about it:
* Great build
* Amazing HD display
* Amazon media content
* Affordable price

What we didn’t like about it:
* Geographical restrictions
* Amazon account issues
* Closed ecosystem
* Limited apps compared to Google’s Play Store

The Gadgets We Bought in 2012

yuga Leave a comment

Every so often, we acquire our own gadget so we can review them for you even before they arrive in the country. This year, we’ll do a run down of drool-worthy devices that we bought and reviewed here in YugaTech.

This is a commitment by us to deliver an up to date and relevant content (especially reviews) to our regular readers. We believe that this is what separates us apart from all other publications (whether blogs, news sites and traditional media) and it’s a constant reminder that we

Last year, we spent over Php300k in review units and actually promised to slow down in 2012. Turns out, we did so much more this year.

Here’s a recap of all the gadgets we got in 2012:

iPad 3. This is the first time Apple introduced Retina Display into the iPad line, a resolution much higher than 1080p. Apple even called it the new iPad which made it very confusing.

iPhone 5. When the iPhone 5 was released, there was huge demand and very little supply making it very expensive. Some enterprising folks in neighboring Singapore and HK brough them in an padded the prices by at least Php8k a piece. We got ours for Php40k the day after it was released in Singapore.

iPod Touch 5th Gen. Apple released the 5th generation iPod Touch without much funfare. It was the thinnest iPod Touch and also introduced a number of colors, including the Product Red. It started out at Php16k for the 32GB and has now normalized at Php13k.

iPod Nano 7th Gen. The 7th generation iPod Nano saw another re-design, added support for video but dropped the form factor that allowed people to use is as a smartwatch.

iPad Mini. The iPad Mini is the most popular device in 2012, according to Google PH. It’s the first time that Apple introduced a smaller form factor to the iPad line and is sanwiched by the 9.7-inch iPad and the 4-inch iPod Touch.

Asus Transformer Prime TF201. Asus introduced their 2nd generation tablet in the first quarter of the year. Stocks were very few as there as lack of supply. We managed to buy one the same day it was released in stores for about Php33k.

Asus Zenbook UX21. We got the first ultrabook from Asus in the first quarter of the year and it became our primary blogging machine. The Zenbook was among the first challenger to the Macbook Air, just a little cheaper by 10-20%.

Asus Zenbook Prime UX21A. Asus re-introduced the Zenbook line with a full HD IPS display. We bought the review unit from Asus at a discount — Intel Core i7, 256GB SSD and 4GB RAM.

Asus Padfone. It was our first time to attend Computex in Taiwan and was also fortunate enough to be able to buy the Padfone there.

Google Nexus 7. We shipped the Nexus 7 straight from the US, thru a friend and using JAC as the forwarder. We also recently bought a 32GB Nexus 7 over at the Multiply Discounted Deals site.

Canon S100, S110. During the Black Friday sales last November, we saw the Canon S100 going on sale for under Php10k and quickly got one. The last week, we saw the Canon S110 go on sale at Multiply Shopping and go another one too. We now have 3 Canon S100/S110 and we’re planning to do some special video projects with them.

Kindle Fire HD. Also bought the Kindle Fire HD during Black Friday sale and paid full price. However, when we went to San Diego that same month, we spotted a sale on the Fire HD at 50% off so we got one more (out of frustration that we bought one at full price just days before).

Microsoft Surface RT. We bought this one at the Microsoft Store the last time we went to the US. We have yet to post the review for this one.

GoPro Hero 3. Got this one on Best Buy as well. We still need time to play with it but review will be out soon.

Samsung Series 5 Ultra Touch. I just could not resist getting this one at Best Buy because it was on sale, at 40% off. It’s selling for Php45k here and we got our for only Php25k. Review will be up soon.

Parrot Zik. The first wireless headphones we actually invested on. Retails for Php21k in stores.

Some of the items above, we bought in multiples (like 2 Kindle Fire HD, 2 Canon Powershot S1xx, two Nexus 7). We racked up a total of Php420k in expenses for acquiring review units this year. That doesn’t include the PC rig we’ve built from scratch.

That’s the highest we spent to get you the most complete, comprehensive and up to date gadget reviews in the country so far.

Again, we will try to slow down next year and spend less. Instead we will focus on being able to attend international events line CES, Computex or IFA on our own budget. Nevertheless, we will continue to dish out the same volume, or more, of the usual gadget reviews we’ve been doing every year for the last 5 years.

How about you, what gadgets did you buy this year? Do chime in via the comments section below.

HTC One X+ Review

yuga Leave a comment

The first time we saw the One X was back in March of this year. It was the first quad-core smartphone that arrived in the Philippines. HTC released the One X+ to address a few of the shortcomings of the One X. Check out our full review of the HTC One X+ after the break.

Before we proceed, we recommend that you go and read over our original review of the HTC One X to give you much better perspective.

HTC address some of the original issues that came along with the first generation One X to make the One X+ a much better and more compelling handset. This includes CPU performance (especially in benchmarks), storage capacity and battery life.

Design and Construction.

Since the first One X, this line-up remains to be one of the most well-built and sexiest smartphone in the market this year. The unibody design allows for better build quality, more solid fitting and a really sleek design.

The white One X+ will clearly show the attention to detail and the fluid design. It’s got all the curves at the right places that even the glass panel at the front is smooth, the contours that outline the slightly curved shape of the body fits perfectly in the palm of your hands and the combination of black against the white background makes it look very elegant and inspiring.

Of course, the unibody design has its shortcomings as well — like the non-removable battery and the absence of a micro-SD card slot. It’s a trade-off that HTC gambled with when they implemented this design.

Display.

We said it before and we’ll say it again, the Super LCD 2 display on the HTC One X+ is one of the best, if not the best, display screens in any handset this year.

The screen is very bright once you crank it up to the highest settings, the colors are vivid, well-saturated and even. Since the One X+ uses the latest Super LCD 2 display, the viewing angles are almost perfect and clear at 180-degrees. Outdoor visibility is also good and the screen can still be readable in the outdoors or under direct sunlight. It’s not that comfortable but glare is almost at the minimum.

OS, Apps & UI.

The HTC One X+ will run with Android Jellybean right out of the box. Not only does it run on the fastest Tegra 3 processor in the market, it will also benefit from the buttery smooth interface of Jellybean.

The HTC Sense UI is still among the nicest-looking and most comprehensive custom UI from any brand that has developed their devices with Android. All that eye-candy, animation and transitions add to the premium packaging of the One X+.

Since the handset runs on the popular Android ecosystem, you are ble to access hundreds of thousands of free and paid apps and games from the Google Play Store.

Multimedia and Camera.

The large 4.7-inch screen is great for viewing music videos and short TV series. We’ve also played a number of graphics heavy games from TegraZone and the screen did justice to that stunning graphics that’s optimized for NVidia chips.

The One X+ also separates itself from the old One X but adding red accents all around the unit — the soft buttons, the ring around the camera and the large Beats logo at the back.

Here are some of the sample photos taken with the 8MP camera of the One X+:

Notice the well-saturated colors of the flowers, the crisp images and well-exposed subjects. The camera takes really good photos and it takes them really, really fast that we didn’t notice any lags or delays in the shutter.

Here are some sample video clips taken with the camera, both on daylight and artificial light:

Looking at the clips, the One X+ performed well even on low-light conditions. There’s some delay in adjusting to exposure and the continuous focus but everything else looks really good.

HTC also incorporated Beats Audio into the handset which added to that great audio experience.

Performance and Benchmarks.

With the latest NVidia Tegra 3 processor, the HTC One X+ scored the highest in both Quadrant and Antutu Benchmarks that we’ve seen. With a score of 7,195 for Quadrant, this is the only handset we’ve reviewed that passed the 7k barrier (56% better than the old One X). Antutu Benchmark gave it a total score of 16,173, the highest we’ve seen so far (42% better than the One X).

Even the NenaMark 2 score is much better at 57.3fps, almost the same as any other flagship handset and an increase from the 47.7fps on the old One X. Overall, these are among the highest benchmarks scores we’ve seen in a handset and by far, the highest cumulative score for all three tests.

The One X+ performs really well, both with the usual apps and most especially with graphics intensive games (like Riptide GP and other TegraZone apps).

Battery Life and Call Quality.

Call quality is really good with the One X+. The audio is crisp and clear, no noticeable interference and signal strength is pretty decent. We didn’t experience any delays in receiving and sending SMS and have not encountered any erratic signal issues. Whatever minor issues we encountered can be probably attributed to the network and location rather than the handset itself.

HTC has now increased the battery capacity of the One X+ to 2100mAh, giving it more battery life on a single full charge. While the battery life would last you the whole day of moderate use (and a little more), we think it’s still up to the individual user and their usage pattern that will determine how long a full charge will last.

With 3G on all the time, a bit of Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram, we are able to last around 18 to 20 hours. With 3G off and WiFi off, we managed to squeeze the battery to 2 days and 7 hours will a little bit of calls and mostly text messages.

Conclusion.

We can definitely say that the HTC had redeemed itself with the One X+. Much faster chip, better battery life, large storage capacity — all on the same great design. The huge 64GB storage alone amounts to about Php10,000 in value (if we based it on iPhone 5 price between 16GB and 64GB).

The One X+ is still short of perfect. Everyone you ask will say they need more battery life, option for removable battery, extended storage support and more. The HTC One X+ now retails for about Php27,900 in local stores (SRP was Php32,990).

HTC One X+ specs:
4.7″ Super LCD 2 display, 720×1280 pixels @ 312ppi
Corning Gorilla Glass 2
1.7GHz quad-core NVidia Tegra 3 processor
1GB RAM
64GB internal storage

GPS w/ aGPS support
FM Radio Tuner
Beats Audio
2100mAh Li-Polymer battery
Android 4.1 Jellybean
134.4 x 68.9 x 8.9mm
130 grams

What we liked about it:
* Great performance, fast CPU and GPU
* Large storage capacity
* Impressive full HD camera
* Nice and huge HD display screen with Gorilla Glass 2
* Beautiful design and material
* Jellybean out of the box

What we didn’t like:
* Still on the pricey side
* No microSD card slot
* Non-removable battery
* A little late in the game

Disclosure: The HTC One X+ was given to us by HTC Philippines as an honorarium for allowing them to use our review of the old One X in a print ad back in May.

A few hours to go and we will bid goodbye to 2012. The year has been very exciting for me. Got so many blessings and more opportunities to travel and explore the beauty of the Philippines. I had ups and downs. But what is important is that we got to stand up once again.

Today we look back at some of the most memorable trips I have done in 2012. I actually started this series in Facebook, but will now compile everything here. So here it is…

App-y New Year

Mobile exploded in 2012. US consumers now spend 1.8 more times in mobiles apps than on the Web, according to Flurry, a mobile analytics company. Flurry said that between December 2011 and December 2012, “the average time spent inside mobile apps by a US consumer grew 35 percent, from 94 minutes to 127 minutes.”

Closer to home, the Philippines recorded a 326 percent increase in smartphone sales, the fastest growth in the Southeast Asian region, according to research company GfK. The Philippines is also the country “with the highest jump in smartphone market share within a year, from 9 to 24 percent,” GfK said in a press statement last September.

To mark the end of this year of mobile, let me riff on a Pinoy New Year’s Eve tradition by offering you my favorite apps in 12 task categories, in no particular order:

News apps Zite, Prismatic and News.me

NEWS APPS. (From left) Zite, Prismatic and News.me harness social networking connections to match news stories to users’ interests.

1) Zite. This is my favorite news app. Zite, from the word “zeitgeist” or the spirit of our times, learns from how you interact with content and then serves you with news stories that match your interests.

My other favorite news apps are Flipboard, Pulse, Currents and Prismatic. AP Mobile, meanwhile, not only has extensive news coverage but also gives breaking news alerts. I also love News.me and Curate.me, which keep track of how people in your social networks share content and use this as signal to determine which news stories to send you via e-mail. Recently released RockMelt also looks promising.

2) Evernote. For managing notes and jotting ideas, nothing beats Evernote, a web service with apps for Android, iOS, Mac and Windows.

3) Stitcher Radio. This app simplifies the downloading or streaming and listening to podcasts.

4) Viber. I personally prefer Kik, which is faster especially on lower-end phones, but people are on Viber. The app allows you to call or send a text message to another Viber user for free. Other messaging apps that I use with certain groups of people include WhatsApp and GroupMe. Facebook’s Messenger app is also very useful, especially if you need to contact people who are always on that social network.

5) Smartr. This contacts service and app populates your contacts with data grabbed from LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. It then shows you complete data on a specific contact–photo, job title, company details–and your email history.

6) Pocket. The service used to be known as Read It Later and allows you to save articles, without the ads and other distracting elements, for reading later.

7) Checkmark. I got this app, which normally costs $4.99, for free during its “end of the world sale” last Dec. 21. Checkmark is a location-based reminder app that’s so easy to use. Any.DO has started to implement this but it’s nowhere near the ease of use and polish of Checkmark.

8) Imo messenger. This app allows you to log into all your instant messaging accounts on your phone. Among the IM apps that I’ve used, imo.im provides the best experience.

9) Podio. I work on several projects with different sets of collaborators and rely on Podio to keep track of tasks. It is a robust project management Web service with good apps for Android and iOS.

EVERNOTE. The Evernote applications for iOS and Android allow you to manage your notes on the go.

EVERNOTE. The Evernote applications for iOS and Android allow you to manage your notes on the go.

10) Runkeeper. The app keeps track of your walking or running mileage through your phone’s GPS.

11) Google+. Sure, people are saying it’s a ghost town but the Google+ app offers a better social networking experience for me. Among its great features are the automatic photo uploading, Hangout, Messenger and Communities. Path is another good mobile social networking app.

12) Project Noah. Whether keeping track of a typhoon or deciding to do the laundry, weather information is crucial, especially at this time of climate change. Noah stands for Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards and is a DOST project that has apps for Android (created by a Davao-based developer) and iOS (developed by ABS-CBN).

I also asked a few people on their favorite mobile apps and these were what they shared:

Entrepreneur Jay Aldeguer: SoundHound. “I like listening to music and often times I don’t know the artists behind them; SoundHound gives me all the info I need just by “listening” to what’s playing.”

Sports writer John Pages: Flipboard. “All articles come with photos. You can customize the topics you want to read. It is frequently updated. Sources are divers. It’s free. And as its name implies, easy flipping between articles.”

Meralco vice president and chief information officer Marthyn Cuan: MMDA app and Meralco MOVE. “I love the MMDA app as this allows me to navigate through traffic. Meralco’s MOVE app keeps me informed on power maintenance schedules and appliance consumption.”

Port Restaurant chief operations officer Evangeline Hayco: Jango. “You can type in an artist or genre and it will play all kinds of songs similar to it. I never have to full up my iTunes library ever again. It’s free and play only one advertisement a day.”

Photographer James Go: Hipstamatic and Snapseed. “I use Hipstamatic for food shots, specifically the foodie pack expansion. It just works, food looks way better with just one press of a button. For everything else, there’s Snapseed. I have full control of my image editing, even sophisticated adjustments.”

Bankers Association of the Philippines president Abet Villarosa: IBreviary. “It contains the breviary prayers for morning, daytime, evening and night prayers. It also contains the mass and its readings. I have in my small iPhone 5 all that I need, which otherwise I would have to bring two large prayer books for.”

Smart public affairs manager for online services Nick Wilwayco: Project Noah Mobile for Android. “It’s everyone’s responsibility to be prepared plus it was made by a DOST scholar who gave back to the country.”

Photographer and blogger Estan Cabigas: Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare “for updates on the go.”

Megaworld director for strategic marketing Harold Geronimo: Metro Traffic. “It makes driving around Metro Manila easier because I know which roads to take during peak hours. It’s so updated and accurate.”

Blogger Nancy Cudis: Instagram. “It’s easy to use and I can readily post and share my photos on my Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr. I also enjoy seeing fun photos of my friends.

Lawyer Cecille Soria: TweakDeck on Android. “I live in Twitter. It’s useful for marking life updates, catching up with friends, discussing news and whatnot and as links dump stuff to read. Tweakdeck is robust and can handle multiple accounts. This is useful since I also help manage @PHNetDems Twitter account for the Magna Carta for Philippine Internet Freedom.”

Smart senior manager Menchie Quiñal: Maps. “I travel a lot these days. When I do my travel plan, I check the map first and mark the must-visit places and food strips before I book my hotel. From there I can best manage budget and time.”

Sun.Star Cebu editor-in-chief Isolde Amante: Kindle app. “It allows me to spend less for books that are delivered in under two minutes rather than three to four weeks.”

Cardiologist Alex Junia: MyFitnessPal “so I can record my food intake and exercise.”

Golfer Bayani Garcia: Viber and WhatsApp. “It’s a great way to communicate with people. It’s much more fun with the group chats with my friends. Also, it’s such a convenient way to send photos and videos.”

MyNimo.com president Wesley Chiongbian: Waze. “It’s a GPS app that gives you real time traffic updates from other ‘Wazers’.”

Programmer and start-up founder Mark Buenconsejo: Tweetbot and Pocket. “Tweetbot is one of the best developed app for iOS. Everytime I use it, I can feel the passion of the developers, who made sure I have the best mobile experience. It also integrates nicely with Pocket, Camera+ and Cloud app. I like to use Pocket because it integrates nicles with Tweetbot, Twitter and BufferApp. My workflow starts with Twitter and if I find something interesting to read, I add it to Pocket. Pocket works and does not get in the way. It’s free but I’d be glad to pay for it so they can continue to make the best Web reader out there.”
