Nexus 7 vs Kindle Fire HD!

2012-09-19
hey guys johnathan here with TLV and with the release of the Google Nexus 7 it separated itself as arguably the best 7-inch tablet on the market and one of the best tablet options period now with the release of the Kindle Fire HD we have two 7-inch tablets at the exact same price point so the question is which is better between the two I know right off the bat Samia as you can instantly jump in yell Nexus 7 is better but the Kindle Fire HD actually had a lot of pros over the Nexus 7 now before we get into the pros of the Kindle Fire HD we're going to talk about design and aesthetics because that hands-down goes to the Nexus 7 the Kindle Fire HD has a huge ass bezel I mean you could literally land a plane on that sucker the Nexus 7 is not as wide so it fits better in your hands for single hand use the volume rockers are in a much better location and overall it just looks and feels much better than the Kindle Fire HD now ugly ass bezel aside they are both rock and a 1280 by 800 resolution they both feature front-facing cameras for video chat but the Kindle Fire HD starts to separate itself first with an HDMI out which you don't see on the Nexus 7 and then with the speakers which hands-down sound better than the Nexus 7 here's a listen to the Kindle Fire HD and here's a listen to the Nexus 7 the screen is also a lot better on the Kindle Fire HD just a lot more vibrant clearer and I wouldn't really notice it or say that the Nexus 7 screen is bad but after you look at the Kindle Fire HD and go back to the Nexus 7 you can see it's a little washed out and pale in comparison to the Kindle Fire HD another plus to the Kindle Fire HD is that it has dual band dual antenna Wi-Fi so that's definitely a plus on the spec sheet but in my testing from day to day used for streaming there wasn't a huge difference so they both perform very well on that aspect lastly if you are an Amazon 2 ecosystem if you're a Prime member that is a huge plus for the Kindle Fire HD you get tons of access to premium movies TV shows for free and you can rent over a hundred eighty thousand books from their Kindle Store the app selection in the Google Play Store hands down beats Amazon's offering but the amount of media and content consumption offered with Amazon Prime is untouched now even after all that said if you ask which I would choose between the two I would still pick next to seven and that is because of Android 4.1 jelly bean this OS is unparalleled amounts better and smoother than Amazon's offering which is a stripped down version of Ice Cream Sandwich with really none of the awesome features that Ice Cream Sandwich has the Kindle Fire HD does run a lot smoother than last year's offering but it is nowhere close to jelly bean the fluidity the responsiveness if you look while you rotate the Kindle Fire HD it just lags a little bit on the accelerometer whereas the Nexus 7 is smooth as butter pun intended web browsing on the Kindle Fire HD is nowhere near as good as it is on the Nexus 7 plus Chrome is an awesome awesome mobile browser so it smokes the pants off the Kindle Fire there you get access to things like Google Voice which works fantastic and overall just the sheer control on the Nexus 7 that you have with jelly bean with at management notifications overall just the sophistication of the OS the smoothness the responsiveness is why I would choose the Nexus 7 order the Kindle Fire HD so thank you guys for watching if you guys enjoyed this video and you're feeling like being awesome make sure that that like button if you guys want to support the channel make sure to check out the tech deals a day down in the description if you guys are interested in pricing and availability on either the Nexus 7 or the Kindle Fire HD those links will be down below as well if you have not subscribed make sure to do so and I will see you guys later
