GOOGLE NEXUS 7 VS AMAZON KINDLE FIRE

Since its launch the Amazon Kindle Fire laid the foundation for success in the low price, which allowed segemento position in the low end. Mindful of this, Google developed its own tablet at an affordable price, the Google Nexus 7, which is positioned as a direct competitor of the tablet from Amazon.

Without delving into the comparative analysis, my intuition tells me that the Google guys have dethroned definitely to Amazon, which is that to see a tablet with a Tegra processor 3 Quad-Core and the latest operating system Android 4.1 Jelly Bean for just $ 199 I can only think of buying.

By now the Amazon are probably rethinking the Fire Kindle price to compete at least in price / performance with this new tablet that will undoubtedly sweep the market. But let's leave aside the fables and see who end the fight.

GOOGLE NEXUS 7 VS AMAZON KINDLE FIRE

OPERATING SYSTEM

Being the developer of the operating system, Google gives a substantial advantage, and like the rest of the devices Nexus, the Nexus 7 is the first device to include the new version of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and probably one of the first to receive future updates.

Winner: Google Nexus 7

SCREEN

Both the Nexus 7 and the Fire possess Kindle 7-inch screens, but the differences are obvious to say a few specifications. While the Nexus 7 has an IPS display with a resolution of 1280 × 800 Amazon device has a resolution of 1024 x 600, which implies a 66% higher pixel density for the device from Google.

Winner: Google Nexus 7

Processor and GPU

The differences here are avismales, since the Kindle Fire has a dual core processor TI OMAP-4430 at 1 GHz with 512MB of RAM, while the Nexus 7 has a Tegra processor quad-core 3 to 1.3 GHz and 1 GB of RAM.

But that's not all, the Nexus 7 has an amazing 12-core Nvidia GPU ULP which means a significant superiority SGX540 PowerVR graphics on a single core that has the tablet from Amazon.

Winner: Google Nexus 7

CAMERA

Something that has attracted considerable attention is the absence of a rear camera in the Nexus 7, but to understand that this has been launched to compete with the Kindle Fire has not any camera, this is completely reasonable.

Thus, the Google Nexus 7 that only gives a front camera of 1.2 mega pixel camera, is positioned above the tablet from Amazon.

Winner: Google Nexus 7

MEMORY

Fire The Kindle comes with 8 GB of built-in storage capacity while the Google Nexus 7 is available in two versions, an 8 GB and a 16 GB of internal storage. Both devices have no Micro SD card slot.

Winner: Google Nexus 7

PRICE

Currently, the Fire has a Kindle for $ 199, while the Google Nexus Tablet in memory of the same model cost $ 199. To this we subtract $ 25 to spend on Google Play and some forthcoming content including free on the tablet.

Winner: Google Nexus 7

CONCLUSION

At this height a conclusion that is more redundant, so I can only congratulate the guys at Google, who have done an impressive job to offer a very low-cost tablet in relation to the excellent features it offers.

Google has just launched play again, a supply of applications on offer, with price drops even more than 80%.

Among all these applications and games that can be found some very interesting and tempting under this offer. Such as:

Mass Effect Infiltrator in Google Play Grand Theft Auto III Play Google Google Mini Motor Racing Play




  


But it does not end there. If you are one of the many who emigrated to England or America, Google Play does not stop at a small handful of applications to offer. The price cuts are also offered in a number of books and movies (for rent, of course).



 Anyway. From Spain or from outside, there's no reason you can not take the offer that Google launches Play to celebrate the longest day of the year: the summer solstice.

free your s3 galaxy free and easy way to sim unlock voodoo galaxy S III

 

 Many times we bought a building on the supply terminal of an operator thanks to the offers that we offer but often (almost always), we have the added problem that despite having a permanent contract with them is the terminal itself locked so that only you can use with your network. What happens if for any reason you want to use another SIM from another operator? Well we spent the money to release it (there are many companies that offer this service) or we endure and hope for the period set by the operator to ask for the unlock code. There remains a third option, which is that in some cases and by an application can unlock the handset with the only requirement to be Root.

The thing does not always seem dejarnoslo so easy, but this time the holders of a Galaxy S 3 are in luck. Supercurio, known for his creations Vodoo project and cooked roms Voodoo has launched SIM Unlock Galaxy S III, a completely free application that will allow us to release our terminal with little effort. The only requirement is that we will be Root, something otherwise quite easy to get.

 

The mechanism is simple. We can download the App from the link below and we installed it. Then we would just throw it and click on the button Unlook. If we fulfill the requirements, in a moment we will have our Galaxy S3 unlocked and ready for use with any carrier.

Should not Root or may not have a compatible device warns us
