5 reasons: Why you should get Nexus 7 other than Kindle Fire HD

People are currently inclined to make a comparison among Kindle Fire HD, Google Nexus 7 and new iPad. Here I leave out iPad specifically but focus on the other two as apple titles appear to be those rich folks'game. People cannot make a decision between Google Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD primarily out of the latter's lure of a 16-G-storage as well as its convenience to read Kindle books. Consequently, most gadget geeks vote for Nexus 7 unswervingly. 5 reasons are put forward in this article to help you figure it out that why you should get Nexus 7.

1. Faster speed
We do not exclusively read eBooks on a $200 tablet but also embrace a selection of entertainments. Compared to Kindle Fire HD's Dual-Core processor, Nexus 7 has won this battle with its Tegra Quad-Core processor, which unquestionably makes our playing faster and hearty. We enjoy speed and Nexus 7 decreases our chances of groaning.

2. More sufficient experience
16 G is far from enough to constitute sufficient user experience. Nexus 7 delivers a variety of sensors including gyroscope, magnetometer, accelerometer so as to meet the demands of people who are keen on stimulative experience when playing games like racing and flight shooting. On the contrary, Kindle Fire series come with none of these sensors, which results in user's lack of dynamic orgasm.

3. More reliable application (GPS)
Nexus 7 supports built-in GPS function without necessary network connection, which is indeed good news for customers and edges itself into a reliable gadget while many GPS applications based on other devices become totally useless once unconnected to network. Moreover, Nexus 7 can be converted into a dedicated GPS navigator if apps like TomTom are installed on it. However, there is no GPS-related service found on Kindle Fire HD, which has come down to one of its irreparable weaknesses.

4. More flexible system
In all probability, Nexus 7's stock Android 4.1 Jelly Bean system pushes it to the peak of 7-inch tablets. The 4.1 Android OS comes with a significantly smoother interface alongside the Google Now service, which acquires qualification for Nexus 7 to compete with apple iOS. We can feel free to download and install APK files both from the device itself and from computer to make full use of diversified apps, nevertheless, it is sort of inconvenient to install apps on Kindle Fire HD due to its forked Android OS, which aims for its proprietary Amazon market and confines our freedom of installing apps from general Android market. As a result, the open & flexible Android platform has been turned into an awkward one on Kindle Fire HD.

5. More comprehensive service
Apparently, Amazon releases its budget Kindle Fire titles for selling its products ranging from eBooks to other forms of content (audios, videos, apps, etc.). Kindle users are largely restricted to Amazon store and eventually have to shop there. This is parallel to what apple is doing while apple does a remarkably better job than Amazon. Fortunately, we are free to decide where to trade on Nexus 7 and therefore Google play is not the solo option. As far as I know, there are more free apps available on Google Play than those on Amazon store. We don't have to spend on things that are provided in free versions somewhere.

As Kindle Fire HD has its lengths, of course, Nexus 7 takes on its demerits correspondingly. We should not ignore that there is neither extension slot nor camera on Nexus 7 together with some other minor defects such as battery. But on the whole, Nexus 7 is fairly worth the money among a host of 7-inch tablets.
