Comparison: Kindle Fire HDX vs Nexus 7 - Android Help

Amazon

did not want to stay out of the market for tablets and has opted to present its new tablet, the Kindle Fire HDX name. Amazon becomes direct rival Google in the tablet market and that is why we decided to compare the two tablets. Comparison: Kindle Fire HDX vs. Nexus 7 .

Processor and RAM

If something stands of these two tablets is that they have a high performance processor, especially in the case of the new tablet from Amazon. And, far from being a low-level processor, it is the Qualcomm Snapdragon quad-core 800 can achieve a clock frequency of 2.2 GHz is the best processor on the market, and that is why that is so remarkable. Nexus 7, meanwhile, carries a Qualcomm processor too, but the Snapdragon S4 Pro, the highest level which was launched last year. However, although quad core is not so level, and that is clear to see that it is able to achieve a clock frequency of 1.5 GHz

two new tablets carrying a RAM with the same characteristics, since it is a unit with a capacity of 2 GB. RAM is the one that allows a greater number of applications run in the background. In this case, we speak of a RAM typical of high-end tablets.

Display and camera

screen is no surprise. On the one hand we have the Nexus 7, which is obviously seven inches. The screen resolution of the tablet of Mountain View is 1920 by 1200 pixels. We’re talking about a resolution that exceeds Full HD screens that many have at home, so the image quality will be really high. In the case of the Kindle Fire HDX are in a similar case, as the screen also is seven inches and has the same resolution.

respect to the camera, we find a big difference. While Google has chosen to put a main chamber when in the previous pass did not, Amazon has chosen otherwise. The new Nexus 7 has a five megapixel camera that can record video in Full HD 1080p and a front camera for video calls. Meanwhile, the Amazon tablet only has a front camera that enables video calls.


OS

Though the two leading Android tablets, the fact is that there is an important difference with respect to the operating system. For one, the Nexus 7 has Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, without layers of any kind, and will be one of the first to upgrade to Android 4.4 KitKat. For its part, the Kindle Fire takes Android HDX, but with complete customization capable Amazon, which limits the tablet and can say that it will not be practically as an Android, although you can install the applications included in your Amazon store apps. On the other hand, also has a full suite of apps like Kindle for reading books.

Battery and memory

Finally, we can not forget to mention the memory and battery of the two tablets. Neither can expand the memory via a microSD card, so choosing the right capacity at the time of purchase will be something absolutely essential. In this regard, we find three variants by Amazon, can purchase the new Kindle Fire HDX with three different capacities: 16, 32 and 64 GB. The Google Nexus 7 is available in two different capacities, 16 and 32 GB. If we wanted a memory of 64 GB, the only option is the Amazon tablet.

battery in the case of tablets becomes vital. Its size can choose higher capacity batteries from the manufacturers. Amazon speaks of a battery that offers a battery life of 11 hours. It does not specify the capacity of the same, so we can not compare the theoretical values. In the case of the Nexus 7, the battery has a capacity of 3950 mAh, autonomy as Google is 9 hours, which is considerably lower if the data are real.


Connectivity

Although the two tablets have versions with WiFi connectivity only, are also available in a version with 3G/4G. Acquire the tablets in this price 100 euros will pay more. The base price for the most basic versions is 229 euros both in the HDX Kindle Fire case as in the Nexus 7. Although if you want a tablet with 4G, will be cheaper to buy a Kindle Fire HDX, it is 20 euros cheaper than the Nexus 7.
