Kindle Fire HD 2 vs Nexus July 2013

Last year we saw as two particularly tablets made off the world of Android tablets in the world. On the one hand we had the genuine bet your Google Nexus 7 and secondly with a similar philosophy was the Kindle Fire HD Amazon. Both tablets providing the user a proper user experience at a very competitive. This price adjusted, accompanied by the good experience of using both tablets, is the success that has given to each of them.

recently has presented a review of the tablet with Google Nexus July 2013 and keeping the pillars and the success gave the previous generation. That is, Google has chosen to continue providing hardware capable of giving the user a satisfying usage experience a breakthrough price. Now start to appear the characteristics of what will be the successor to the Amazon tablet. What appears to be called Kindle Fire HD 2 seems to have an 8.9-inch screen with an impressive resolution of 2570 × 1600 with a customized version of Android by Amazon 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.

processor accompany the Kindle Fire HD 2 will be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 with four cores and clock speed to 2.15 GHz Next to find a main processor Adreno 330 GPU. Also the RAM with which to tell the new tablet from Amazon is 2GB and the point for Amazon’s tablet in front of the Nexus 7 will be the 8.9-inch screen on the find Kindle Fire HD 2 .

Other specifications that we find in the Kindle Fire HD 2 will be the 8MP rear camera and the different versions in storage will be three different, 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB.

It seems that this year

Amazon is willing to give Google competition wherever it hurts because if the price hits the market this new Kindle Fire HD 2 is competitive enough could stand up to Google Nexus himself in July 2013. If we think back over this new tablet is a giant like Amazon matched the thing even more because the user experience provided by this giant of content is exceptional and the content catalog can offer is inmmejorable.

Amazon is preparing for the new Kindle range this fall with price cuts - Omicrono

Let’s take a look at the market. The summer continues. It seems that companies are quiet. However, it is a scenario, and they are already working on new products that will go on sale in the coming months. And now, as the title of the post, let’s focus on Amazon . And the company may be preparing a new edition of his famous Kindle Fire tablets . A renovation which would provide them with better features and some changes that could appeal to customers.

The reason that leads us to think of this renewal is the price cut that has been in the current range, which has recently received a supply . In some cases, this reduction was 40 dollars, which makes us think that the company would be manufacturing new models . Yes, for now only in the U.S. store, but we are not surprised to see you soon in the rest of the world.

We have to say we do not know the characteristics of the upcoming models. We do not know how to be, so we’ll have to wait a few weeks, until Amazon decides to officially announce. What is certain is that we have some clues. For starters, according to rumors, the new tablet would have an increased resolution . This would be accompanied by a change in the design , which became straighter.

Instead, another whisper that is gaining strength is that the current Kindle Fire HD is renamed and becomes the Kindle Fire “normal” with the consequent price cut, and the new model would be to occupy the range highest.

For now, all are rumors . All we can confirm is a price drop in some Kindle, which Amazon does indicate that soon will bring new models. ‘ll have to wait until there is an official confirmation .

Amazon, the e-commerce giant, sells big, but it’s no friend to share figures. Especially if they are themselves. For its price it is estimated that their tablets and ebooks are sold at a loss. U.S. bank Morgan Stanley believes that this year will sell a figure higher than 3,300 million euros (4,500 million dollars) in Kindles, 26% more than in 2012.

However, the key is not so much the sale of these devices, initially rudimentary and somewhat abandoned aesthetic, but in digital content consumption is done in them. In the study that the entity has shared with All Things Digital show the projected income from the sale of games, apps, movies and books. This year will reach 2,858 million euros (3,800 million). In 2014 exceed 4.287 million euros (5,700 dollars). The ecosystem created and is 11% of total company revenue, but 23% of the profits.

Like Apple, Amazon is expected to renew catalog this fall. This time with a processor that makes you compete with Samsung and Sony for the throne of Android tablets.

Nexus 7 (2013) vs Kindle Fire HD 7. Google misses out on Amazon - Tablet Zone

Google has again upset the small tablet market with its new team of 7 inches. Others pushed for modest performance and value, have been further offside with this bet and have to react. Amazon had a very similar plan offering quality at a good price, then make money with content. However, today they have very difficult to compete on performance. To illustrate the need to renew its line of tablets, let’s make a comparison between Nexus 7 (2013), and Kindle Fire HD 7 .

Design, size and weight

Both show a modest plastic makings although correct, although the impact resistance of manufactured by Asus, raises some doubts. Here’s a test and then another that are a bit contradictory. As for fineness and lightness, however, clearly outperforms rival, being much lighter.

Screen

Amazon

matched the standard set by the Nexus 7 2012. The Mountain View have raised the bar and bring a computer with a huge screen resolution 7 inch with 1920 x 1200 pixel that result in a definition of 323 ppi.

Performance

Here there is no doubt. Both devices chips are not the newest, but the OMAP 4460 is even older and clearly less potent. Not only is the dual-core processor compared to a quad-core or different GPUs, we also double the RAM on your opponent and a more advanced operating system.

The evidence is that in the AnTuTu benchmark , the Kindle Fire HD 7 gets around 8,000 points compared to the 20,000 of the Nexus 7 (2013)

Storage

storage options are identical and in either case we can expand by SD. While Amazon gives free storage for 20 GB.

Connectivity

choice of a mobile network model does not exist in the Seattle team. That’s right in his opponent have to pay 100 euros extra. Where I do that is beyond the option to export the screen image for HDMI, something not quite understand that to Google not offer unless you think of ChromeCast and Google TV.

Cameras and sound

not only have a rear camera quality has no rival, but its camera camera software is much better, with star function Photo Sphere. Both tablets sound great and this will never be a sufficient reason to choose one or the other.

Battery

Amazon tablet has a range of excellent, very hard to beat. The new Google tablet does not, despite being efficient in this respect. As a counterweight, brings an extravagant option, wireless charging for Qi technology.

Prices and conclusions

We are faced with two tablets

cheap. Amazon has lowered the price of his 25% in the United States, although this reduction did not reach Spain. However Kindle Fire is cheaper HD 7, 30 euros cheaper 16GB model and 40 euro for 32 GB, exactly. By having a model with mobile network connectivity can not make a comparison.

economically differences are inversely proportional to the specifications. The power of the Nexus 7 (2013) is brutal. Today is a high-end tablet bargain . We can not say the same for your opponent.

care idea and closed environment modified the Kindle Fire OS can be attractive, but Android is becoming more oriented user experience and access to content has become easier.

Ultimately, the successors of the Amazon tablets are needed to compete and stomping seems likely, according to the latest rumors.

They grow theories about new Kindle Fire - Gizmos

TabletsThe new Kindle Fire

economic and HD version are the way to market to try to surprise and please the audience.

09 Aug 13

datetime=”2013-08-09T22:22:36+00:00″ title=”2013-08-09″ updated” class=”hidden 08/09/2013 tokugawa

Some believe that the Kindle Fire had its time, but in recent times the company has failed to maintain active range with the availability of new models . The good news for fans of Amazon is that the company is already working on an additional version of which are appearing on the net rumors.

The idea that Amazon has the mission to continue to attract the attention of users is creating another Kindle Fire features including HD and version will reduce the price . This is in line with what has happened in other recent cases. The mobile device market is spreading far and is reasonable for manufacturers to offer the public economic terminals can pay even without a big budget in their hands.

interesting thing is that the new Kindle Fire will be no economic reduced strength version over the current HD, they will match it. This will mean that we will have many of the features that are included in the Kindle Fire HD first generation, albeit with modifications . It will keep the processor, being a Texas Instruments OMAP4 dual-core 4470 1.5 GHz speed This will take the place of the above, an OMAP4 4430, only reached a speed of 1.2 GHz In this way, users of the Kindle Fire will have economic current HD processor with the leap in quality that implies.

What else can we

consider level specifications?. The Kindle Fire will display 1280 x 800 pixels, Android 4.2.2 operating system and 1GB of RAM, more than enough for what was expected at this point terminal. Amazon had already mentioned that his intention was to create a chain of succession in terms of devices. If the Kindle Fire becomes economical HD, HD will jump to a higher power to keep surprising. And this is what will happen except surprise. But while the Kindle Fire HD also has a new version, the economic version will be a gap probably more remarkable in the sector, given that it could hit stores at a price of around $ 170.

Kindle Fire successor opt to keep HD 8.9 inch screen with resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, 2GB of RAM and 800 Snapdragon processor. There is much to say about the full features of the terminal, but obviously expect a quantum leap in all its components.

External appearance and design class=”c1″>

Kindle Fire is a tablet HD minimalist design , made of plastic with different shades of black, and has a rectangular shape with rounded corners. It is intended primarily for daily use, so Amazon has dominated the strength and durability to design and style holds and glamor of an iPad.

Kindle Fire HD 8.9 “ presents an intermediate size , straddling tablets 7″ and 10.1 “. Size is a somewhat strange since tablets manufacturers usually choose one or the other size, but not something halfway.

Unlike other tablets, the Kindle Fire HD not have any buttons or inscription on the front , but the front is occupied solely by the screen and the camera, which occupies the central position of the top (when holding the tablet horizontally).

Its 8.9 “screen is surrounded by a black frame quite thick when compared to other tablets.

screen appearance when off is quite dark but not like to be confused with the surrounding frame.

The rear Kindle Fire HD, however, does show the Amazon logo in a gray color and registration faint Kindle as well as a speaker on each side.

speakers are far apart, in order to enhance the stereo effect. The cover, as usual in the tablets, not be removed.

top has 3 button , two of them for volume and one for on / off.

These buttons do not protrude or have a different color, so that they go unnoticed, to the extent necessary look every time you want to use .

Although it may seem that it is matter of a few days to get used to them, the reality is that after several weeks of use still have to rotate the device to hit to click on the correct button. At the top is also the headphone jack . The bottom of the tablet has no connector or button.

Finally, on the right side can find two connectors air , one micro-USB for connecting to PC or charger, and a micro-HDMI for connecting to external displays using a simple micro-HDMI Cable to HDMI. The left is free of buttons and connectors.

Kindle Fire HD

not heavy device , although weighing 567 grams is heavier than the Sony Xperia Tablet Z (495 grams) and almost Like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (581 grams) even though both have a larger screen than the Kindle. It is therefore a certain weight tablet.

class=”c1″> Screen

The Kindle Fire HD LCD panel incorporates a 8.9 “ and features a high resolution 1920 x 1200 pixels , one of the greatest assets of this tablet although not as high as the new iPad (2048 x 1536) or the Nexus 10 (2560 x 1600).

pixel density offered is 254 dpi. , very close to the famous iPad Retina display (264 ppi.), a step of Nexus 10 (300 dpi) and over most tablets of the market.

pixel density makes reading small text and makes browsing web pages is a very pleasant experience.

IPS technology Kindle Fire HD shows a vivid and brilliant colors , a deep black and presents an excellent angle vision playing uniform colors from any position, according to Amazon thanks to the application of a polarizing filter on the LCD panel itself. This results in a sharp contrast from any angle and, ultimately, in an excellent image quality.

Amazon says

achieved significantly reduce screen glare usually eliminating the space between the touch sensor and the LCD screen. The reality is that, even without knowing this technological innovation, the Kindle Fire HD had already given us the feeling that it looked pretty good even under sunlight. Not completely eliminate the reflections but are attenuated enough.

ultimately Kindle Fire screen HD has been very impressed with . With excellent resolution, a bright, large viewing angle and uniform color reproduction lacks practically nothing.

Specifications and rendimimento class=”c1″>

The Kindle Fire HD 8.9 “hidden inside a dual core processor at 1.5 GHz TI OMAP4470 , 1GB RAM and PowerVR GPU . The processor is slightly faster than its little brother, the Kindle Fire HD 7 “, which runs at 1.2 GHz

Texas Instruments announced last year leaving the business line of processors for mobile devices, so the Kindle Fire HD is one of the latest devices with OMAP processor.

Without being overly powerful specifications (already in the market tablets with quad-core processors and 2GB of RAM), interface and applications generally move smoothly , but on special occasions we noticed some stoppages to move around the interface or type into the keyboard we can not explain.

However overall the Kindle Fire HD has behaved properly while running games, scroll in web pages or playing HD movies, to name a few.

AnTuTu benchmark the Kindle Fire HD has a score of 7164 points, a far cry from more powerful tablets like the Sony Xperia Tablet Z (20,022) but above others as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 “(5,496). In browser test Browsermark 2.0 has gained 2033 points (greater than 58% of browsers tablets) and SunSpider javascript test 1.0 has 1352 ms.

As for games, we had the opportunity to try several of them, such as 3D game The Amazing Spider-Man in the Kindle edition, which moves very fluently and has some pretty flashy graphics as seen in the capture.

There

versions 16 or 32 GB of internal storage . In our case we tested the 16GB version, which are 12.7 GB available to the user. This capability is somewhat limited for a tablet, especially once you start to upload movies, pictures and videos.

Since you can not install external memory card to expand the storage capacity, our recommendation for those you who are thinking about buying this device is to think twice without with 16GB you will have enough.

For connectivity, it supports Bluetooth and, as Amazon says proudly on its website, the Kindle Fire HD is the world’s first tablet with dual-antenna Wi- Fi Dual Band , which “can increase the speed of downloading and streaming up to 35% compared to an iPad mini” .

Since

Speedtest.net application that we use to measure the speed of ascent / descent on Android devices is not available in the Amazon app store nor have we found any other similar we could check objectively whether or not the Kindle Fire is significantly faster HD . Subjectively we can say that the download speed and Wi-Fi reception are adequate, but we have not noticed a big difference from other tablets or phones.

There is no Kindle Fire HD version with 3G/4G connectivity , so in order to make use of the Internet is necessary to have an access point Wi-Fi to connect to.

Kindle Fire

HD also includes a light sensor , one accelerometer and gyroscope , but lacks GPS and NFC . These absences are especially troubling given that a tablet is a device usually too large to use as a browser and use of NFC is earthbound.

webcam , located on the front, has a 720 HD resolution and is focused on videoconferencing as the Kindle Fire HD even includes a camera app. The quality offered is acceptable , without being either no wonder.

Kindle Fire HD

has two stereo speakers that support Dolby Digital Plus and are located on either side of the device when it is in landscape mode, providing maximum separation rightly speaker to watch movies or listen to music.

The sound emitted by the Kindle Fire is powerful and clear HD , but the maximum volume seems lower than its little brother the Kindle Fire HD 7 “. Unfortunately the speakers are located on the back, which makes the sound does not come with as much power as if they were in front, and the sound may be distorted if it rests on the back.

In our tests the battery performance has been very positive. Amazon says the Kindle Fire HD has an autonomy of 10 hours under normal use and probably be right. Even viewing movies for several hours with an average brightness level of battery level dropped drastically.

class=”c1″> Kindle Fire HD interface

not easy to see that the Kindle Fire HD inside running version 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich) Android , since Amazon has addressed almost completely mask the operating system Google in the eyes of users.

Kindle Fire HD

not show a typical desktop Android , where the user can place shortcuts to applications, folders and widgets , but the software layer that has above including Android Amazon entirely limits tablet customization by the user and access to advanced features.

When you turn on the Kindle Fire HD access the start menu , which shows in the top 10 shortcuts to as many tabs : Buy, Games, Applications, Books, Music, Videos, Web, Photos, Documents, and subsidized devices with advertisements, offers.

Since not fit

10 screen options need to scroll horizontally to select the desired tab . This is rather cumbersome and, in our opinion would have been more comfortable show 10 small icons on the screen simultaneously.

The main menu displays content also recently consulted by a carousel of icons. This content can be applications, websites, books, images, etc.. and is constantly changing, so you’re often moving forward and backward looking carousel icon lost . Some of these icons are adapted to large displays with which the Kindle Fire HD, but in other cases it is not and enlarged version of the icon is visually unattractive.

navigate this carousel, the bottom of the screen shows related content. For example, to put us on the icon manager email, at the bottom appear hits on “New Post “,” This Week “and” Favorite Contacts “. In other cases, the Kindle Fire HD offers purchase suggestions based on what other users have acquired purchased the same content.

Since the Kindle Fire HD does not have physical buttons, all screens displayed in the bottom bar several virtual buttons , the most common being: Home, Back, Options, Search and Favorites. One detail that we do not understand is why the icon of “House” is on the far left and the “Back” is in the center … it seems to go against the other Android tablets and phones, as well as logic usual.

The lack of physical buttons is sometimes awkward as virtual buttons are not always displayed. For example, to view a full screen apps, games, e-books or videos, the button bar is hidden and must be pressed before on a small button to display the taskbar.

In our opinion would have been more practical to include some physical buttons for quick access to the main menu or to the previous page without having to make several clicks.

Clicking on one of the ten shortcuts top, to access the content corresponding to that tab:

Buy brings up a page where you can purchase digital content (books, Applications, Music & Games) or physical Amazon store.
• tabs Games , Applications , Books , and Music lead to pages where you can view the contents Available in Kindle concerning these sections, as well as the digital content that we bought in the store Amazon and the device can download at any time. It also gives us the ability to access the shop to purchase new digital content.
• Videos displays a list of the videos you have downloaded to the Kindle Fire HD. In the United States, where service Amazon Instant Video streaming of movies and TV shows available, this tab also provides access to the catalog of videos available on this platform.
• Web opens a web browser, which will be discussed later.
• tabs Photos and Records respectively show all the photos and documents we have on the device as well as those items available on Amazon Cloud Drive, the content storage service Amazon’s cloud.
• Offers shows us discounts for the purchase of products, although the Kindle Fire HD we tested did not include this tab to be the version without ads.

Given the high integration

Kindle Fire HD with Amazon store services, sometimes gives the impression that the device is constantly pushing purchase new content , either by recommending content purchased other users or showing shortcuts to go to the Amazon store.

Just as you can not add items to the desktop, is not possible to add or remove tabs . However Kindle Fire HD includes the concept of “favorites”. Clicking on a star that appears at the bottom of every screen shows a list of our favorite items. To add an item to this list simply hold that item for several seconds and choose the corresponding option from the menu.

Some characteristic features of Android, as the notification bar , they are present on the Kindle Fire HD, but has also been customized by Amazon. By deploying the bar at the top shows a list of shortcuts to common functions (unlock the screen auto rotation, volume control, brightness control, connection management, sync and access to more settings) and then show notifications themselves.

the tests have showed that it is normally possible to run applications that modify the notification bar.

The virtual keyboard that provides the Kindle Fire HD duly fulfills its mission and even offers the possibility to type the words dragging the finger over the letters (Swype mode ).

Sometimes, however, we have noticed some delay between clicking a text area and the appearance of the displayed keyboard. At other times the letters did not appear on screen as the pulsábamos but suddenly appeared all at once. Know if a problem is due to the keyboard or the system could not respond quickly be running other tasks.

In conclusion, while advanced users customization limitations HD Kindle Fire can be dissuasive them, the reality is that Amazon wanted to create a simple tablet that can be used by anyone although not used to handling such devices.

In that sense we can say they have achieved their objective since the Kindle Fire HD interface is very easy to use and, somehow, seems designed to be “My First Tablet”.

class=”c1″> Multimedia

As already mentioned, one of the tabs to which we can access from the main screen is Music . Here’s all the music you have on the device organized by playlists, artists, albums, songs and genres.

The music player is pretty standard: Displays the cover of the disc you are playing and offers the typical options for shuffle and repeat.

Thanks to the rear speakers that has the Kindle Fire HD, the sound is pretty good. Obviously the bass does not sound like a stereo, but it’s the best we’ve heard on a tablet.

Revealed all new the Kindle Fire HD - El Norte de Castilla

few weeks ago there was talk of the screens that have the new generation of tablets Kindle Fire HD. They begin in diagonal 7 inches and FullHD , and even some surprising 2560 × 1600 pixels for 8.9 inches . But now there’s more.

People from BGR claim to be pretty sure that Amazon will bring to market in the coming months. Confirm these resolutions with the two screen sizes, and add more Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 , model MSM8974 quad core Krait to 2.0 GHz, GPU Adreno 330, 2 GB of RAM starting, front camera and model mobile connectivity (3G or LTE, still no detail) available. A tough competitor for the new Nexus 7 , although a priori will be more powerful this Kindle Fire HD 7 inch of which I speak.

Kindle Fire HD

We got some size and we find the update Kindle Fire HD 8.9 inch , also revitalizes offering similar hardware, with that Snapdragon 800 as the main protagonist. The main difference, besides the screen mentioned above (8.9-inch 2560 × 1600 pixels) is the existence of a rear camera of 8 megapixels. Obviously also there will be a price difference, but the guys at BGR indicate no specific figures . For reference, the Kindle Fire HD of the current generation is sold from 199 and $ 269 (7 and 8.9 inches, respectively).

Along with the best features, Amazon also add a significant redesign still unknown details. Also renew the Kindle Fire more basic, though with features that are far from those offered by the ‘Family HD’.

If we have to find the competition from Kindle Fire HD undoubtedly the new Nexus 7 is the one at the head of all. It is possible that the device Google / ASUS has characteristics slightly lower, but in its favor is the operating system developed almost tailor and the store Google Play . The downside of tablets Kindle is not Android native, and that the list of applications provided by Amazon is very different to that offered by Google.

Nexus 7

This update of tablets Amazon is not imminent, but is expected to occur in the coming months . Many eyes are fixed in the months of September or October, historically one of the busiest in the world of technology.

MediaTek could supply the hardware of the new Amazon Kindle Fire - Engadget

Kindle alt=”Amazon Mediatek”

src=”http://img.xataka.com/2013/08/kindle-mediatek.jpg”

seems that it will not take long for that MediaTek begins to be more respected in the mobile hardware market, and that has long been associated with Chinese device manufacturers, product affordable. But the reality is that little by little they are getting the batteries, presenting products to consider, such as the MT8135 .

this in important cell clones, has become first choice for brands like LG, Acer and Sony Mobile , who have some MediaTek hardware model. But what is rumored positions it one step further, bringing it to a position that we do not think like Qualcomm , a leader in the market.

Digitimes tells us that Amazon have agreed with a circulation important MediaTek MT8135 chipset, for powering some of its new products. Please remember that we have a solution that uses four cores, two of them are ARM Cortex-A15, and two ARM class=”caps”> Cortex -A7.

The idea is similar to the Samsung Exynos 5 Octa, because it also uses big.LITTLE settings , which changes between core groups, looking for the best efficiency or performance depending on the circumstances. The novelty is that the four may also work simultaneously . For those who walk lost in this issue, MediaTek has also presented a solution with eight cores running at the same time.

New Kindle Fire

MediaTek hardware? Complicated answer this based on rumor, but if so, in addition to Qualcomm, Nvidia certainly will not like to stay back out of another million-selling cake.

dir=”ltr”>

earned a good portion of land in the field of mobile devices this year thanks to low-cost processors quad core we have seen in so many phabets and in some tablets, but with its new 8-core processors could conquer even more territory: according to reports, Amazon could have decided to finally use its chips instead of Qualcomm for new Kindle Fire .

The last time that circulated news about the characteristics of what will be the third generation of Kindle Fire , the data gave sounded really good, thanks largely to Snapdragon processors 800 which stated they would put both the 7-inch model as 8.9 inches. The latest reports, however, have created some uncertainty, they claim that Mediatek have already received a major order for its new processors MT8135 by Amazon .

dir=”ltr”>

Mediatek have shown extraordinary power in the various benchmarks to which we had access to so far, with similar scores even the devices with Snapdragon 800 . There is a notable difference, however, between evaluating the performance of a processor in testing devices that are already in stores or do it on test devices, so for many it remains disappointing that chips are used Mediatek instead of Qualcomm . Consider, in any case, that at first glance seems more realistic for a team trying to keep their prices low and affordable processors used the Mediatek others so far we have only seen in high-end phablets.

going to find a features spectacular including screens Ful HD (even talk of a screen with the same resolution as the Nexus 10 for the 8.9-inch model) and some changes in its design very interesting, as weight reduction or the use of metal housings, and presentation is expected to take place in the month of September .
