LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- ALCATEL ONETOUCH is pleased to announce that Amazon Shopping, Amazon Music, and Kindle applications will be preloaded on the award-winning Xess tablet, which will become available later in 2015.

"We are thrilled to offer consumers the benefit of Amazon applications preloaded on Xess," said Dr. Stan Hu, General Manager of ALCATEL ONETOUCH's BigPad business. "With a large screen format, and now with Amazon apps, Xess offers consumers an even greater user experiences in the home."

Purpose built design for multi-use support
The genre-busting Xess has an extra-large 17.3-inch screen, yet boasts a sleek stainless-steel body. This makes it perfect for when a large connected screen is necessary for display or viewing purposes, such as following recipes in the kitchen, watching movies, playing games or for work presentations.

ALCATEL ONETOUCH designers also included a built-in stand in the slim form, which enables users' freedom of choice in positioning. In other words, Xess can be positioned at a variety of angles allowing for better viewing for gaming, web browsing or productivity. Furthermore, comparing its size to average laptop display, Xess is easily portable thanks to its slide-out carrying handle.

Engineered with Creativity in Mind
Xess' designers thought not only the ease of viewing when they designed this new category device, but they also built in features to unleash users' creativity.

The stylus, when used with the pre-embedded DrawingDesk application, makes possible a variety of different brushes, colors and effects. Culinary artists will appreciate the hands-free gesture control, which eliminates the need for a touchpad, keyboard or mouse. Users can now just wave to control the screen meaning no more messy grease spots or risk of ruining their device.

Xess also features two powerful 3-watt speakers powered with JBL by Harman technology, offering true-to-life sound reproduction. It is also possible to connect to an exterior Bluetooth speaker or headphone for even more booming sound.

Plus Xess is also great for casual and family gaming thanks to its large 10-point touchscreen technology, which ensures precision and accuracy during sessions. Its Full-HD display and powerful octa-core processor also guarantee a fantastic multimedia experience.

Customization Possibilities With Bespoke Accessories
And ALCATEL ONETOUCH designers did not forget about Xess' connected environment. Users can customize their devices with a world of Xess accessories: Smart Dock, blue-free film, IP camera, Bluetooth mouse and keypad, Bluetooth speaker, MagCover and mounting case.
