Review: Amazon Kindle Oasis – Showmetech.com.br (Blog)

by Thiago Almeida – Fri, 10 June 2016 Reviews

We received for testing the newest member of the family Kindle the Amazon , Kindle Oasis . I must say that she hit his hand on the new gadget . No much ado , go to review

Design:.

Well different from versions Paperwhite and Voyage , the Kindle Oasis is much smaller and lighter, greatly improving ergonomics and using the appliance. With the Paperwhite , after a few hours use felt tiredness in the hands, which felt not using the new model.

It is much thinner on one side, 3.4mm, but next largest, is still lower than other Kindles. This format allows the use and fitting with only one hand quite comfortably. it has on the front 2 buttons, which serve to move the pages, but you can also pass them using the screen touch . the buttons are excellent value in the readings with just one hand, greatly facilitating change pages without difficulty, even if you are left-handed, just flip the screen it accompanies the direction. on the back, we have the logo of the Amazon and the magnetic connector for the covers with loading, one of them already came with the device.

Screen:

Despite being smaller, the screen keeps 6 the same size and resolution of 300ppi known, the same one used in previous versions. Has the technology Paperwhite E Ink Letter ™ and lighting that adjusts automatically.

Paperwhite the screen was more deeper than the edges, forming a space where dust accumulated now the screen is at the same time the edges, eliminating the same. The distribution of lighting is much more uniform and stronger brightness, with 24 intensity options.

Although the same resolution, the quality is much better, more clearly due to optimized and scale source technology with 16 levels of gray, making reading more enjoyable.

Battery and cover loader:

The Kindle is well known for battery life, but in this version, being thinner, the length proved less. When I took the box he was 32% and the cover battery with 70% using the original charger from my Galaxy Note 4 (2A ), came to 100% around 1h:. 30m, carrying both the device’s battery, as the cover battery

during the tests let the standby unit for a week, checking the battery level was at 98% to the device and 100% cover, this autonomy is possible due to implementation of a hibernation mode. When we use, leaving the sleep mode, a message appears at the bottom of informing the activation screen the device, though boring, this short wait is acceptable for the benefit of a longer battery life. in this mode should last easily more than 3 months.

in tests, using an average of 2 hours a day with brightness most of the time at most for 7 days, I reached the second week with 40% in the unit and 67% on the cover. With this autonomy, using the device without the cover, you will have to charge it every 15 days, using along with the cover, this autonomy should certainly reach a month of use. The length of time should be longer if the unit is used with the lowest brightness

Performance:

Amazon does not disclose information about processor and ram the Kindle devices, but I could see a better performance compared to the Paperwhite, page changes are almost instant, to download a book he carries and appears much faster.

the internal storage is still 4GB, for the operating system and . content

Conclusion:

Amazon certainly hit the hand, bringing the best Kindle line device ever manufactured to date

it is quite comfortable to use with just one. hand, reading became more pleasant, less tiring vision. Although battery life is a little smaller without the use of cover, comfort and ergonomics acquired by being thinner is acceptable.

Is it worth buying the Kindle Oasis?

If money is not a problem, given that out there it’s costing $ 289.99 (about R $ 977.27 before taxes) and you are a lover of reading, the device certainly worth it.

If there is money left over, choosing the Paperwhite is certainly the right one
