The smaller 7-inch tablet is just 303g – only 13g heavier than the Nexus 7 2013, while the 8.9-inch tablet edition is 384g. It’s significantly heavier but this remains lighter for a tablet of its size, for example the iPad Air is 1.2-inches but weighs 469g.

It uses a vanilla version of the upcoming edition of Android, version 4.3 as a result there’s little-to-no lag here. The Kindle Fire HDX tablet uses Android too, but with a thick custom interface dumped on top. Amazon calls it the Fire UI and it views nothing like Android. It’s designed to get you to consume Amazon content, from its music store, book store. You do not get approaches to Google Play, but Amazon’s own app store – yep it’s another way for Apple to make a few pennies off Kindle Fire owners. In the past we have found the Fire UI to be slow and little bit lagg and to not have quite the app selection we expect from an Android tablet.

For the ‘full’ Android experience, though, the Nexus 7 (2013) is the only choice here.
