Hello
Just read below, the difference between Kindle Fire And iPad Mini:
On one hand we have Apple's two iconic iPads. The 9.7-in iPad air has the same size of screen as every full-sized iPad since the original. And the 7.9-in Retina iPad mini takes the popular design of the original iPad mini and adds a high-resolution display (along with a little extra weight and thickness).
On the other hand there's Amazon's Kindle Fire HDX 8.9". As its name suggests, it rocks an 8.9-in screen, which hits a pretty nice balance in between the full-sized and mini iPads. The HDX 8.9 gives you 79 percent as much screen real estate as the iPad Air, and 19 percent more than the iPad mini.
I think that 8.9-in screen size hits a really great sweet spot. If you've used the iPad Air and the iPad mini and wished you could find something in between, this might be the tablet for you. Modern-day Goldilocks rejoice: the Fire 8.9 could be your "just right" between the "too big" and "too small" iPad extremes.
In terms of display quality, they all have sharp, high-resolution screens. But the Fire HDX 8.9 is the sharpest, with one of the best mobile displays I've ever seen. We're looking at the HDX's 339 pixels per inch vs. 264 PPI for the iPad Air and 326 PPI for the iPad mini. I think the Fire also has the best color accuracy, with the iPad Air not far behind. Of the three, the Retina iPad mini has the narrowest range of colors; it's as if it's painting from a smaller palette than the other two are.
As far as build and construction go, the iPads have the higher-end aesthetic. They're both made of anodized aluminum, which should be familiar to anyone who's handled any recent Apple products. The Fire is made of a matte plastic. It doesn't feel cheap or flimsy, but, well, it is still plastic.
All three feel quite comfortable in hand. The iPad Air and Kindle Fire are both so light they feel almost like toys – and yes, we mean that in a good way. The Retina iPad is the lightest of the three, but it's also the densest. The Fire 8.9 is the least dense of the three. So when you look at each tablet's weight relative to its size, the Fire HDX 8.9 might actually feel the lightest in hand.
Battery life isn't remotely a concern with any of these tablets. In fact, of the big-name, high-end tablets you can buy today, I'd say these three are the cream of the crop. In our standard test (where we stream video over Wi-Fi with brightness at 75 percent) the iPad Air lasted eight hours and 40 minutes, the iPad mini lasted 10 hours and 50 minutes, and the HDX 8.9 lasted almost exactly 10 hours. With typical – or even fairly heavy – use, none of these tablets should give you any problem at all lasting a full day.
Performance also isn't an issue on any of these devices. With the older Kindle Fire models, the UI always felt a little laggy to me. But the HDX 8.9 runs Qualcomm's terrific Snapdragon 800 processor, making it one of the fastest ARM-based tablets around. Ditto for the two iPads, which have Apple's 64-bit A7 silicon packed inside. There isn't much more to say about performance, other than all three of these tablets are extremely zippy, fluid, and capable of playing the latest mobile games without hiccups.
