Summary
- The Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9 LTE features a larger 8.9-inch IPS LCD display with a higher resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels, providing better clarity compared to the Icemobile G7 Pro's 7.0-inch display at 600 x 1024 pixels.
- In terms of performance, the Kindle Fire is equipped with a dual-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A9 processor and 1GB of RAM, while the G7 Pro has a slightly slower dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 with 4GB of RAM, which may affect multitasking capabilities.

- Battery capacity is also notable, with the G7 Pro housing a 2800 mAh battery compared to the Kindle's unspecified capacity.
- Both devices run on older versions of Android, with the Kindle using a customized version of Android 4.0 and the G7 Pro on Android 4.2.2, but the Kindle provides a more refined software experience with stereo speakers.
