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 soundnot 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 conclusionsWe 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.
