Retina iPad mini Kindle Fire VS HDX 7 - Tablet Zone

seek tablets on which the entire user experience is well directed, teams must choose iOS or Fire OS. Apple and Amazon have decided to create a very specific with your operating system closed. This is an alternative to Android, which starts another completely different premise.

Both companies have recently introduced compact devices or small sized tablets which are also the best starting price have and may be more attractive from the point of view of someone who wants a tablet access. If you’re in that situation we want to help you decide with this comparative Retina and iPad mini Kindle Fire HDX 7 .


Design, size and weight

Retina iPad mini Kindle Fire vs. HDX 7

Both models start from a previous generation. While Seattle have decided to change the design significantly, while rivals have preserved. The new approach is a bit retro and looks straight lines of a vintage futurism but in black plastic.

Cupertino finishing device is more luxurious, with an aluminum housing with chrome in two colors.

In terms of size, the different aspect ratios of the equipment alters the perception of differences, but we can say that two small appliances with a reduced thickness , although the mini is slightly ahead in this aspect. As regards the weight, have more or less equal, in Seattle ahead.


Screen

screens these two devices are excellent . In terms of resolution, Apple is superior, but cutting this data with the size of the screen, we get a nearly identical pixel density.


Performance

carry two devices into a real monster.

Apple

A7 is the first x64 chip found in mobile devices. This change allows you to read larger grounds at the same time as usual 32bit. Yes, third party applications are not yet adapted to this change.

rival have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, a beast that gets the highest results in becnhmarks mobile chip.

both operating systems are closed, therefore, everything is under control to work fluently.

In short, we can not complain of slow or lack of processing capacity on these two teams.

Storage

iPad mini can choose a superior choice storage to 128 GB that has no rival. However, choosing a version of the device with more internal memory leaves us quite cheaper on the Kindle Fire HDX. Look at the table below and see prices.

As for external storage, Amazon and Apple are companies that make money selling content and cloud storage, that’s why, you expect to see a micro SD slot would be naive.

Connectivity

mobile network connection is not an option in the tablet of the guys from Jeff Bezos and a competitive disadvantage compared to his opponent. However, to be a tablet geared to content, would be crazy to pay that data with our plan.

However, this team beats rival for using USB, much more universal than Lightning connector and having micro HDMI output, from which the other lacks.

Cameras and sound

Retina iPad mini

??going very well endowed as far as cameras are concerned, while his opponent has only one front for video call.

The sound of both teams is very good, but Amazon stands out in this section since its first tablet.

Battery

autonomy of both teams is similar, but the Fire tablet OS stands slightly to one hour.

Prices and conclusions

Cupertino have decided to raise slightly the price of its 7.9-inch tablet this year. It is true that equips many better specs this year, but will adversely away price of its rivals. The reality is that we could buy the Kindle Fire HDX 7th most expensive and still would save on the iPad mini Retina cheaper.

This is a negative point, since in this format and size, the consumer is looking for a competitive price. However, the quality of this team is very high, if you think about it now that’s a real iPad but smaller, that is, if it is true the slogan announcing the first generation.

In short, we believe that Apple is a better tablet If you do not look too the price. By contrast, Amazon is a great tablet at a price of Madness .
