The PGEgaHJlZj0iaHR0cDovL2hvc3RpbmdraXRhLmNvbQ0iIHRhcmdldD0iX2JsYW5rIiByZWw9Im5vZm9sbG93Ij5Bc3VzIDwvYT4=created Google Nexus 7 is the slightly more compact of the two PGEgaHJlZj0iaHR0cDovL2hvc3RpbmdraXRhLmNvbQ0iIHRhcmdldD0iX2JsYW5rIiByZWw9Im5vZm9sbG93Ij50YWJsZXRzIDwvYT4=here measuring 200 x 114 x eight.7mm, compared to the 186 x 128 x 9mm Kindle Fire HDX 7.
It suggests the Nexus 7 is a touch taller than its Amazon rival, but its more slender frame indicates it is also lighter with the Wi-Fi only model tipping the scales at 290g and the cellular version registering 299g.
The Kindle Fire HDX 7 is not specifically heavier at 303g and 311g respectively, but that does translate to a extremely slight extra heft in the hand.
Asus has kept the same rounded style from the original Nexus 7, but has slimmed down the newer version and applied a soft touch rear which hugs the sides of the tablet.
This tends to make for a comfortable and grippy service which feels pleasant to the touch, and its lightweight nature indicates you can simply hold the Nexus 7 in 1 hand - you can even grab a corner with thumb and forefinger like you would a book.
Bezels down either side of the screen (when in portrait) are somewhat slender even though there is a significant chunk of vacant space above and under the display.
Turn the Nexus 7 landscape on the other hand and that extra space comes in handy as it offers you somewhere to rest your fingers. That's specially helpful if you happen to be watching a movie or Television show.
From the rounded style of the Nexus 7 to the angular stylings of the Kindle Fire HDX 7, and immediately it feels chunkier than its Google rival.
The sharp edges and defined slopes on the rear provides the illusion that there's a larger distinction in depth among the two tablets - in reality though the difference is just.3mm.
Amazon has opted for a related soft-touch finish on the rear of the HDX 7, and it too wraps round the sides of the tablet to meet the glass front.
Again this supplies a very good level of grip and you can just as easily hold the Fire HDX 7 in 1 hand without having your wrist giving way.
The soft touch rubber is broken up by a glossy strip of plastic on the Kindle Fire HDX even though, and this homes the dual speaker grills.
It makes the tablet appear a little a lot more fascinating, but the glossy plastic finish is a magnet for fingerprints and it can end up seeking mucky rather swiftly.
There are suitable bezels all the way round the screen, which suggests there is constantly space to rest a finger, but also makes the Kindle Fire HDX appears rather bulky.
Each tablets feel strong and well built, although button, speaker and microUSB port areas are all effectively placed for easy manipulation.
Display
As we've already described each tablets sport 7-inch displays, but even although they share the very same 1200 x 1920 resolution and 323ppi pixel density they aren't totally identical.
Both Amazon and Asus have opted for a 16: 10 aspect ratio on the screens which is far better suited to movie playback. Apple's iPad variety utilizes the squarer four : three format.
The Kindle Fire HDX utilizes IPS LCD technology which produces bright, clear images on screen, but the Nexus 7 features LED-backlit IPS LCD tech supplying up even brighter and more all-natural colours.
Whites and blacks are greater defined here and this offers a additional realistic finish which is specifically apparent when it comes to watching movies and Tv shows.
You will not be disappointed with the show on the Kindle Fire HDX, as it is nonetheless a wonderful supplying, but if you find yourself next to somebody with a Nexus 7 there may be a touch of jealously coursing by means of your veins.
