hello this is ric KY the android guy
today we have the three top seven inch
tablets on the market starting from the
left to the right the Amazon Kindle Fire
the Acer Iconia 100 and the Samsung
Galaxy 7-inch plus and today we're gonna
find out which is the top seven-inch
tablet
alright let's just turn each one on and
first thing we're going to go over is
just simply ecosystems there's two
definite differentiations between these
tablets and that is that the Samsung and
the Acer have Google's eco system where
the Kindle Fire has Amazon's now what
this mean is what this means is that you
do not have any Google Apps on the
Kindle Fire available that means Google
Maps Google Docs their entire ecosystem
is not present in this tablet which can
definitely be disappointing comparing to
Android tablets you don't have as many
things just for example the biggest one
that it lacks is Docs Docs basically you
have to upload from your computer and
that's it but you can't you can view
them but you can't edit them or anything
like that built in you have to download
an app to create them but yet it just
it's a lot more complex just because it
doesn't have a file manager built in so
you have to get an app for that so it's
a lot more add-ons
to do those kind of things so for the
Kindle Fire whereas these you can create
documents no problem with Google Docs so
it's just one thing that the Kindle Fire
is lacking in terms of other things
speaker system you do have a Kindle book
store but which can be used on both
these two tablets so it's not really a
plus side for the Kindle Fire now what
is a plus side is for the video
streaming if you don't like Netflix you
do have Prime instant video
which does cost you an annual fee that
rivals Netflix but you have to pay it
all at once so if you're not willing to
do that it's just as an ecosystem Amazon
is still lacking when compared to
Google's so and it's definitely present
in things like that as well as app
stores of course you have over 450,000
apps available on the Google Play Store
whereas on the Kindle Fire you only have
slightly around more closer to a hundred
thousand but also a lot less free apps
many games that are free on the Play
Store you have to pay for on the Kindle
Fire Store now how Amazon makes up for
that of course though is on their App
Store every single day you get a free
app but again this isn't too beneficial
simply for the fact that you can get
this same App Store on either of these
tablets and just download the Amazon App
Store so in terms of overall comparison
you do get a lot more in terms of
ecosystem with Google than you do with
Amazon now next let's go to web browsing
so let's just go to web browsing and see
each of these in the act and zoomed out
all the way you get a very similar kind
of look to each of them this the Acer
Iconia 100 is definitely a little bit
even more zoomed out than the other two
when zooming in though all the text
seems rather crisp and rather clear the
Kindle Fires bit dull these are supposed
to all be blue and they look black it
looks the most blue on the Samsung but
what's more of a grave aking and then
this is kind of like an old page but
with the blue text so just
differentiation between them that's
gonna go about now in terms of books for
here like I said again you only have the
Kindle bookstore which you can't have on
the Acer or the Samsung but however you
can also have the Google Play Books you
can also have the nook you can also have
Kobo so you have access to every reader
on the market instead of just having
limited to one reader on
market which can be troublesome
especially if you have to cite anything
the biggest problem with Kindle is you
do not have page numbers so you can
never cite anything on terms of page
numbers so it's one major flaw of Kindle
that has never been addressed and that
you don't have that problem with these
tablets because you can just use another
ereader if you need to cite now in terms
of music they all have pretty loud sound
quality in terms of overall play the
Kindle Fire is nothing too shabby at all
very loud in terms of the Samsung you
get a really loud tone but definitely
probably the clearest out of all of them
as where the Acer will be the loudest
one however it doesn't have the same
type of clarity that all the other ones
have so it definitely just not as clear
again the Samsung just going to be the
clearest one out of all of them and as
for the Acer it just definitely notice
it's not as
very loud but just not in this clear you
can kind of hear a staticky tone in the
background just it's definitely
noticeable when especially when putting
it all the way up now in terms of video
playback I will just go over real quick
just see how each of these compare in
terms of video quality I'll just put
each of them sideways
you want me
[Applause]
now of course the problem with Kindle is
that you do not have stock YouTube
player just because it is the way it is
so what you have to do is it's just
definitely has to be nowhere near the
same kind of quality but with the other
two you have a built in Google app where
as you can see one thing the Samsung is
by far the brightest now I'm going to
move that a stir out of the way and
comparing these ones you can definitely
see in terms of the three that a
surprise the most jealous
out of the three now in terms of these
two again the Samsung probably stands up
in those it's just the best overall for
video playback now one thing I do have
to know with all of these though is that
videos are a bit disappointing simply
for sound because your sound is always
two speakers at the end it does not have
it at the bottom for some reason all
seven inches have the same fault where
all their speakers are on the bottom
which means if you play and hold your
video like this you get a lesson
satisfactory sound just because it's
playing by one side and you covering
part part of it so it just doesn't stand
out as much now in terms of extras on
the Kindle very simple you have a
headphone jack that's about it on the
Acer you have a micro HDMI a micro USB
as well as the SD card slot and as well
as a camera so you do have a camera on
this one camera quality though in
viewing it though definitely just not as
detailed very lackluster pictures to say
the least
now the Samsung definitely a bit better
in terms of just as we just looked at
the camera over there if we look at the
camera right away on here a lot sharper
a lot better detail just definitely you
can actually see things where you
couldn't even see it at all on the Acer
at 100 but still it just not something
you would of course just take for your
regular casual photos but for a quick
snapshot it does a good job now on this
side you do have the proprietary plug
which does have connections like a USB
adapter for 20 bucks and HDMI adapter
for 40 bucks so but that's adapters
built in all you have is a micro SD card
slot to add on storage as well as a
universal remote infrared sensor so you
can actually use this as your remote
control for TV cable everything else now
how about battery life
well battery life on the a 100 is about
only five hours so it definitely cuts
out rather quickly
both the Samsung and the Kindle Fire
will last about eight to nine hours on
average so definitely a longer battery
life on this side comparing to the a 100
now in terms of price point there is a
definite division between the three the
Kindle Fire is coming in at 199 the Acer
Iconia 100 is coming in at 259 and the
Samsung seven-inch plus is coming in at
299 now in terms of which one you're
getting for your money it really depends
on the person but you over the overall
satisfaction is much greater with the
Google platform tablets and clearly
competing all three against what you get
for your money as well as what you'll be
able to use later on and not just
thinking right now you might be tempted
to go at the fire but definitely for the
long run it definitely just comes down
to the Samsung Galaxy seven-inch plus
it's just the lightest sentence one it's
really just good quality good feel you
have a much better ecosystem than
Amazon's ecosystem built in plus you can
get most of Amazon's ecosystem on here
so it really just is a lot better for
your price now the thing about this is
this is the current holder on these
three competition but there will be a
new version of this that's coming out
that's a little bit lower in specs but
it's coming in at 249 so definitely look
out for that one it's called the 7 inch
2 and I will be doing a review on that
one so check out that in about 2 weeks
if you have any other questions
definitely feel free to leave a comment
below and on any of these specific
tablets alright this has been Ric KY the
