If connectivity is key, so you might want to avoid the 7-inch Kindle Fire HD and pick one of the others. It also misses out on the dual-antenna Wi-Fi that the others offer. The new 7-inch Kindle Fire HD (2013) is the only model without the option for 4G. Kindle is known for being well connected and the wide range of clever features, like Whispersync, that come with it. The Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 has a rear 8-megapixel camera, as well as a front-facing camera.īoth the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and the new Kindle Fire HDX 7-inch offer front-facing cameras, while the new 7-inch Kindle Fire HD (2013) has no camera at all. The camera isn't the most important part of a tablet in our opinion, but you still see a large number of people using them to take photos: the Kindle Fire range hasn't had a rear camera until now.

It's aided by a new software feature designed for reading, which shuts down non-essential hardware to extend the battery to 17 hours if reading alone. Not bad considering the step-up in display and power. The HDX will be faster, but Amazon also reports that the Kindle Fire HDX will offer slightly longer battery life.
The Kindle Fire HD models both at 7 and 8.9-inches settle for a 1.5GHz dual-core processor. That means oodles of power on offer on both the 7-inch and 8.9-inch models, both with 2GB of RAM. The Kindle Fire HDX models have a 2.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, the same sort of thing as you'll find in the LG G2 or Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
Naturally, the higher pixel density displays of the HDX will give you more detail, with the 8.9-inch HDX looking like the real star in the pack. The Kindle Fire HD (2013) - that's the new version - has a 7-inch 1280 x 800 (216ppi) display, whilst the Fire HD 8.9-inch has a 1920 x 1200 (254ppi) display. At that resolution, the 8.9-inch HDX has the sharpest display around, while the new 7-inch HDX matches the Nexus 7 (2013) for pixels. The Amazon Kindle Fire HDX comes in two sizes: 7-inch and 8.9-inch, offering a 1920 x 1200 pixel resolution display (323ppi) on the 7-inch and 2560 x 1600 (339ppi) on the 8.9-inch. In this array of Kindle Fire HDs and HDXs, some new, some not, what's the real difference? With this latest update, what is Amazon changing and should you hold fire, or charge right in? Displays
