Finally came the day of the presentation of the new tablets from Apple and could see, plus the new iPad Air , how will the expected Retina iPad mini . It’s time to face the new contender with its main rivals in the market for 7 inch tablets s: Nexus July 2013 and HDX Kindle Fire 7.
Yesterday was a day of many firsts in the tablet market where not only unveiled the new and expected Air and iPad mini iPad Retina , but also the new Nokia Lumia 2520. In the segment of the 10 inches we have made a first “face to face” between the tablet of Cupertino and its main rivals such as the Sony Xperia Tablet Z and Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 , which has credited with the Award ADSLZone the Tablet of the Year 2013. However, we now focus on the 7-inch model which breaks Apple with its new and very new iPad mini Retina for measured Nexus 7 ed. 2013, also recognized in these awards as the best of the year in its category, and Kindle Fire HDX.
Design and Display
In this sense, both Apple and Google have risked little and designs are almost traced to those of previous versions of their tablets. Amazon only risks, but is in the back of your device and not on the front.
As for the screen, Apple bets on a 7.9 inch Retina display with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels as opposed to 7 inches with 1920 × 1200 pixels of the other two models. It might seem that the Apple tablet, given its massive numbers well above the other two, but the reality is that in the end are fairly smooth in density with 326 dots per inch (dpi) to the mini iPad Retina and 323 dpi in Nexus 7 and Kindle HDX 7.
Entering
dimensions, there if the iPad mini Retina is unbeatable, especially if we look at the three tablets in profile. The model number Cupertino 7.5 mm its thickness while the Nexus July 2013 grows to 8.65 mm and HDX Kindle 7 reaches 9mm . However, the scale is ahead Google tablet with 290 gr , thanks to its plastic housing, compared to 311 gr Amazon model and 331 gr of Retina iPad mini.
Processor and Performance
It is true that this point is still theoretical since we could not see the three tablets facing off or simultaneous testing benchmarks. However, given the results of A7 processor 64-bit in the iPhone 5s, it is likely that the iPad mini Retina has no rival in this regard.
Facing the new Apple processor, the Nexus has a July 2013 Snapdragon S4 Pro 1.5 Ghz quadcore while the Kindle Fire 7 HDX also banking 800 quad-core Snapdragon but reached 2.2 Ghz . Both offer 2 GB of RAM for processes and, as usual, is a fact unknown to the tablet of Cupertino.
Regarding internal capacity, this time Apple offered more variety of options, going from the 16 GB and models 32 GB, 64 GB and up to 128 GB . Google offers its tablet in only two combinations, 16 or 32 GB and also Amazon comes to the 64 GB in the full model HDX Kindle Fire 7 inches.
House
While the rear camera on tablets is not a very defining element – the end of the day is quite ridiculous to go around making photos with a device of its kind – is a useful addition and no less interesting.
In this sense, Apple is putting forward the iPad Mini Retina of its two competitors because despite tying in “megapixelaje” ( 5 MP ) with and l Nexus July 2013 and its ability to record video FullHD, which exceeds a focal f2.4 aperture. Both have a second front camera 1.2 MP. Gone is the Kindle Fire HDX which only offers, on the other hand maybe the more you use, the 1.3 MP front camera without rear light.
Autonomy
A very prominent
yesterday in the presentation as the iPad mini Retina, despite having a processor and most demanding display energy consumption remains figure 9-10 hours of battery life. figure similar to that which promises the Nexus July 2013 brand 9.5 hours of endurance for 3,950 mAh battery (slightly smaller than the previous mini iPad, assume for the similarity of dimensions, repeated mini iPad Retina 4,490 mAh).
In this sense, and on paper, the Kindle Fire HDX distance and the lead tablets both Google and Apple, with about 11 hours of autonomy .
Connectivity
Both
Retina iPad mini as Nexus 7 2o13 have LTE connection capabilities , in both cases depends on what you want to scratch your pocket as the models with this connection are the most expensive. The Kindle Fire HDX 7 on the other hand, is only available in version Wifi n , free to carry all models that offer Google and Apple.
Turning to other connections, the three offer Bluetooth , but we know how he spends Apple in the “uses” permitted this, and only Nexus July 2013 of the three offers NFC.
Software
What is best and worst occupation? Perhaps this is the most controversial aspect of value. The mini iPad Retina come with the new iOS 7.0.3 (if not another update is released before November 1 ) while is expected to Nexus July 2013 soon upgrade to Android 4.4 KitKat. Meanwhile, still in the latest version of Google’s OS, Android 4.3 Jelly Bea n. For its part, the Kindle has its own OS Fire.
is clear that Amazon’s tablet does not have the power and the amount of content that Google and especially Apple offered in their respective app stores which presentation yesterday at the Cupertino indicated that they had more than 475,000 apps for iPad.
Price
And we may end the most defining data, which touches our pocket. The mini iPad Retina have the cheapest model (16GB Wifi) by 389 euros . For his part, Nexus July 2013 (16GB Wifi) of the 229 euros , same price as the Kindle Fire HDX 7 with similar characteristics.
From there, things get complicated. IPad mini models Retina WiFi 32, 64 and 128 GB will be available for 479, 569 and 659 euros respectively. As LTE-connected computers will go on sale from 509 euros (599, 689 and 779 for the 32, 64 and 128 GB).
July 2013Nexus 32GB and LTE connection costs 349 euros while the Kindle Fire 7 32GB HDX reaches 269 euros and the 64 GB comes to 309 euros.
