In an industry totally dominated by Apple and Android tablets, Amazon and Microsoft they appear like the greats Applicants to fight for a prominent position. Both will have a reasonable price and they will join Nexus 7 as powerful alternatives to total iPad dominance. Which of the two can make a more interesting contribution to the world of tablets? We compare the data of Kindle Fire HD with what we are knowing about Microsoft Surface.
Actually Kindle Fire ain't no newcomer and Surface It is not yet a reality, but because of the so palpable departure from the Android core that Amazon's new tablet has implied, and the imminent landing of Microsoft's tablet, both deserve to be considered as rivals willing to end Android / iPad hegemony. However, the two companies are destined to compete with each other as well. While Amazon's 7 '' tablets have direct rivals to the Nexus 7 and probably to the future iPad Mini; Your 8,9 '' Kindle Fire HD tablet should logically not only deal with New iPad, but also to Surface.
The comparison is a bit premature, given that we still do not have all the official information that we would like regarding the Microsoft tablet, but with the available data you can go. profiling the contours of the fight that both devices will maintain.
Screen. As far as we know, the screen of the Kindle Fire HD 8,9 '' it would be enough top to that of Surface, with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 by the first, in front of one of 1280 x 720 of the second, that is, 254 PPI (a value close to that of the iPad) compared to 139 PPI. The display on the Surface is somewhat larger (and therefore the pixel density would not need to be as high), but still the opposed it's overwhelming.
Processor. In this section, the uncertainty is a bit greater, not only with regard to Surface, but also because it is necessary to receive data of analysis more precise to confirm that the Kindle Fire processor will have the quality attributed to it from Amazon, higher according to them than that of Integra 3 which, in principle, would carry the Microsoft tablet.
Conference proceedings. In this aspect, there are no great differences. The two tablets have a capacity storage similar, with a maximum of 64GB, although the Kindle Fire HD 8,9 '' offers the possibility of acquiring a somewhat cheaper model for those who think they can get by with 16GB. In favor of Surface, yes, it is expected that it will have a slot for SD cards and that his memory can therefore be expanded.
Connectivity. Here we do find important differences. On the one hand, the Amazon tablet, thanks to its double antenna, would have better Wi-Fi connection, in addition to connection LTE. On the other hand, Kindle Fire HD does not even have NFC not even with GPSTechnologies that the Microsoft tablet would include.
Battery. Although the precise data of the battery of the Kindle device is not yet known, according to its presentation they would exceed those of the iPad, reaching the 11 hours autonomy in video playback. It is an interesting fact but, again, to be contrasted. In the case of Surface it is expected to have a powerful battery, 8200 mAh, but which, in principle, should be lower (if we take into account that the iPad is over 11000mAh).
