Samsung Wants You To Know The Tab 2 7″ Is Better Than The Kindle Fire

Looks like Samsung isn’t taking Kindle Fire’s 50 plus percent of the Android Tablet market too well as they release a trio of detailed charts laying out the difference among the three 7″ tablets. Samsung is obviously spinning these charts to their favor, but it’s clear that if running full-boar Android is your thing, the clear choice is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7″ tablet. Tablets like the Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet often fulfill the entire need of the buyer with their own Android ecosystem, which is exactly where and why Samsung should be concerned.

The biggest benefit of Amazon’s Kindle Fire and Barnes and Noble’s Nook Tablet is the one-stop shop for customers, especially Kindle Fire buyers with movies, music, games and everything else Amazon’s very own Android market can offer.

In the three charts, Samsung shows how its Tab 2 7″ shines with its video calling cameras, expandable storage, unlimited access to applications via Google Play, the latest version of Android, support for Bluetooth and GPS, as well as the tablet’s weight against the competition. Samsung further stresses the larger choice of various media formats the Tab 2 7″ can play and pretty much just tells you what you’re missing by picking up the Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet.

So let me ask you, do you need to look at Samsung’s charts or can you already say which of these you’d rather buy?

What this shows is specs.   Most of the market, save for the technophiles, does not care about specs.

 

What they care about is content.    

 

For $50 more, does the Samsung have access to more content (music, movies, television programming, magazines, books, apps) than Amazon?   

 

For instance, this past week, I watched some old episodes of The West Wing, a season of The Wire and read, for free with my Prime membership a loaned copy  the Amazon lending library, The Hunger Games.    Can Samsung meet or beat that?

 passinthru Most Android devices can download Amazon App Store, book, mp3, etc. so basically we have ALL Amazon has to offer.  The Play Store has a lot more apps and the heavily skinned Android on the Fire leaves you stuck inside Amazon's little bubble.

You're just attempting to justify your purchase but the fact is you regret buying the Kindle Fire.For $50 you get a front facing and back facing camera. An IR blaster which means you can also use your tablet as a remote. MicroSD card slot so you don't have to worry about using up your 8GB of storage.  Volume buttons are very convenient so you don't have top fumble with the touchscreen to find it.

 PureAznPro How does someone fumble with a touchscreen? I have the kindle and its really easy to change the volume... And you can't use the loan book feature unless you have a kindle, the rest you can use on a different device though. Honestly the Kindle fire is for someone who mostly uses all of amazons content, it is a content delivery system for amazon and not much more.. The galaxy tab is better if your looking for a true tablet because the kindle isn't a true tablet. Also, how can you TELL someone they regret their purchase? and that 50 dollars is a lot to someone who is looking to buy a cheap tablet, its 1/4th the cost of the kindle added on.. BTW you can turn the kindle into nearly a true tablet experience by rooting and installing a rom, you just won't get the added hardware benefits the tab has.
