Before Buying Any Tablet, Please Read this

I have watched friends spot a Tab online, pay for it and get excited over the tab when it arrived, only to hate this same tab a few weeks down the line. I am simply tired of friends coming to me to ask me what can be done to a tab they have already purchased. The answer the multiple questions that ask me often, I chose to write this article. I will compare two very common tabs and by so doing expose what you must watch out for when trying to purchase a tab.

There are quite a number of tablet being sold in the market today. It would be totally difficult to pick which one to go forward due to certain factors such as features and the price. Companies like Apple, Samsung, LG, and many more have released their very own versions of tablets but not all are worth calling a tab. I will be looking at two brands and two specific models and what they present and represent. These tablets are similar and different in some of their features. They are Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 and Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7. A closer look at them will reveal some distinct features and some similar features.

SIZE: 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.

STORAGE: Without any hesitation, I would say Kindle Fire is being defeated by Galaxy Tab. I will tell you why. For one reason, Samsung has a slot for MicroSD both for a SIM Card and external memory. This is what Kindle Fire does not have.

Samsung Tab 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. Unlike Samsung Tab which uses Google Play. It is common knowledge that Google Play 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 again.

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.

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 quite cheap, meanwhile Samsung Tab has been repackaged by GiCENT for a very cheapprice. 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.

Bottom line, when picking a Tab please, considers it internal memory first.
