![]() ![]() Speakers are on the back of the unit, and as a result tend to project sound away from you rather than towards you. If you want to see what's inside, take a look at the pics from the teardown There is a 720p front camera of adequate quality, but no rear camera. This is mildly disconcerting at first, but actually a nice design feature, making it easy to adjust volume while watching video without pausing (that's assuming you're using the device in landscape mode, which seems to be the default). ![]() Unusually, both the power button and volume rocker are on the back on the device, at index-finger-height. It's very thin - a mere nine millimetres deep - but feels reassuringly solid. The rounded edges of the screen make it very easy to hold, and it's light enough (303g for the wi-fi-only model we tested) to make carrying and holding it extremely easy, as does the non-slip plastic chassis. The large Amazon branding across the back is slightly offputting but it is appropriate - make no mistake, Amazon's services loom very large over this device. The Kindle Fire HDX 7" is an anonymous black slab from the front, but a nicely chamfered trapezoid from the back, which endows it with some unexpected cubist cool. The IPS screen on the Kindle Fire HDX 7" has a resolution of 1,920 by 1,200 pixels, giving a pixel density of 323ppi. However, Amazon has also added some features that may make it appeal to the business audience too It's primarily designed for consumers with the emphasis on reading, watching videos and listening to music. In reality Apple optimizes its hardware and software to run harmoniously together and gets real world results that exceed expectations for the specs.Ī fairer comparison might be the original iPad mini, but you're still looking at paying £249.The Kindle Fire HDX is the latest model of Amazon's tablet I'm not going to argue the merits of Android vs iOS here, but on paper Apple's diminutive tablet does not look particularly special next to the Hudl 2's specs. It also has 16GB of storage, a 5MP main camera and a 1.2MP front-facing camera. It has a 7.9-inch display at 2048 x 1536 pixels. ![]() As you would expect, the iPad mini 2 is faster, slicker, and all-round better, but at well over double the price it had better be. It's not really fair to compare the Hudl 2 at £99. The iPad mini 2 with Retina display starts at £239. At the premium end of the small tablet market we have Apple's offering. ![]()
