Review: Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 vs Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7, Features on … – StreetWise Tech

For quite a number of years, Samsung has made out its name in the market. Amazon on the other hand, has marked the world market as one of the promising stores over the net. Today, both companies are competing with each as to who dominates the market.

Screen Display

Samsung Tab 3 has an 8-inch screen display. It has a resolution of 1280×800 pixels and a ppi density of 189. As for Kindle HDX it sports a screen display of about 7-inch and a resolution of 1920×1200 with a pixel density of 323. For those looking to have a much bigger screen to use it would be much better to go for Samsung Tab 3.

However, as for resolution and display Kindle Fire is the winner. If an 8 or 7 inch tab is not your taste, Samsung offers a 10-inch one while Kindle Fire offers an 8.9-inch. Take your choice.

Storage

Kindle Fire is being defeated by Galaxy Tab. Why? For one reason, Samsung has a slot for MicroSD. This is what Kindle Fire does not have.

If we take away external storage as a feature, it would be Kindle Fire that is going to win this bout. Why? It has versions to go for such as the 64, 32 or 16 GB. As for Samsung Tab it only offers a 16GB internal storage. However, you can add more storage up to 64 GB. This is made possible through the use of a MicroSD card. Samsung wins against Amazon when it comes to storage.

Apps

Here is the thing regarding apps, Amazon has its own app store. The downside of it is that it only offers fewer choices to users. Not unlike with Samsung Tab it uses Google Play. This has lots of apps ready for download for free or for a fee. Also, the apps are always updated unlike with those Amazon. In this bout, it is Samsung Tab that wins.

Processor

Kindle Fire wins in this area. It uses Qualcomm Snapdragon that is quad-core 2.2 GHz chip. Samsung Tab uses a 1.5GHz dual-core chip.

Verdict

When it comes to features and productivity wise it would be Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 that wins! It has a much larger screen, can get more apps to access and download and lastly, it can increase storage thanks to having an expandable memory of up to 64GB. Amazon Kindle Fire HDX is priced at a much cheaper price tag compared to Samsung. You can never go wrong when it comes quality and functionality of Samsung Tab 3 8.0. Not only that apps fanatics will never get bored of picking one app to another, play and have fun using it. Although Amazon has just entered the market with its Kindle Fire, the company has a lot to improve and add on their product list of tablets. As they say, there will always be room for improvement.

Bottom line, Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 wins this fight over Kindle Fire HDX. The answer is quite obvious, especially upon comparing each other's specs and features. However, the choice is and will always be up to the user as to which one to go for.
