| Features | Amazon Fire |
HTC Flyer |
| Processor | Dual Core 1GHz | 1.5 GHz |
| Storage | 8 GB |
16 GB |
| Expandable Memory | No | Yes |
| Size | 7 inches | 7 inches |

| Bluetooth | No | 3.0 |
| GPS | No | Yes |
| Weight | 413g | 420g |

Overall the HTC Flyer looks like a better bet with GPS, 2 cameras, 16GB and expandable memory all fur just a $100 more. Besides it also has full fledged Android rather than restricted customised Android in the Fire.
Note: Both don’t have 3G. If you need 3G connectivity, look elsewhere.
