Last updated on January 29, 2016 by Peter

The Kindle Fire tablets and Samsung Galaxy Tab are of similar price. Between these two devices, which one is better for you? Here we are going to look into the features of each tablet.

 

Kindle Fire HDX

The Kindle Fire HDX is an tablet for you to easily watch contents or use services from Amazon. Of course you can also use it to do other stuff than just buying things from Amazon. You can run 3rd party apps, surf the internet, and do things like any other tablet.

 

Features:

  • 2.2 GHz quad core processor
  • Front facing HD camera
  • Dual WiFi antenna for faster streaming and downloading
  • Digital Dolby stereo speakers
  • 1920*1200 HD display @323PPI
  • 16/32/64 GB storage space with 2 GB RAM
  • Mayday 24*7 technical support

  • 11 hours battery life and 17 hours of reading time
  • 186 X 128 X 9.0mm (length*width*thickness)

Advantages over the Galaxy Tab 4:

  • The 2.2 GHz core processor run faster than the 1.2 GHz of the Galaxy tab 4
  • The full 1080p HD screen is better than the Galaxy’s lower resolution screen making the experience of watching movies and video, viewing pictures and playing games a lot better
  • Digital Dolby speakers are awesome for watching movies and listening to music
  • Dual WiFi antenna for more stable internet connection
  • Higher built-in storage (16GB to 64GB vs 8GB)
  • Longer battery life of 11 hours as compared to Galaxy’s 9 hours

 

Cons:

  • Google Play store is not available. Fortunately you can sideload most of the apps of Google Play Store from various sources.
  • No microSD slot
  • No rear facing camera in the 7″ model (Fire HDX 8.9″ has it)

 

Galaxy Tab 4

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 is what we call the Jack of all trades, where you can get almost all the features in one device and at a relatively low price. However, it just have fair performance in most areas. The best part of the Galaxy tab is that you are not stuck with the internal storage you bought at the first place, you can add storage with the microSD card slot.


Features:

  • 1.2 GHz quad core processor
  • Dual cameras
  • 1280*800 display @216PPI
  • 8 GB storage space with 1.5 GB RAM
  • Google Play store with over 1M apps
  • Around 9 hours battery life
  • 187 x 108 x 9 mm (length*width*thickness)
  • Weighs 276 grams
  • Optional 4G LTE capability

 

Advantages over Kindle Fire HDX:

  • Direct access to Google Play store
  • microSD slot up to 64GB
  • 3MP rear facing camera
  • IR blaster, universal remote for TV
  • Lighter in weight (276 g vs 303 g)

 

Cons:

  • Low resolution screen
  • Mediocre performance

 

 

Conclusion

The Galaxy Tab 4 7″ would be the better option if you need apps from the Google Play store. You can side-load apps on the Kindle Fire HDX, but direct access is always more convenient.

On the other hand, you get a full HD display and some better features on the Kindle Fire HDX 7.
