The Fire Max 11, an 11-inch tablet from Amazon, has just been released. The device will cost customers $229.99, making it a more affordable alternative to the 10.9-inch iPad and the upcoming Pixel tablet with a comparable-sized screen.
The tablet’s screen has a 5:3 aspect ratio and supports a resolution of 2000 x 1200 pixels. The manufacturer asserts that the toughened glass and aluminum frame make it three times as robust as the 10.9-inch iPad. This represents an improvement over Amazon’s previous largest tablet, the Fire HD 10, which was released last year.
An octa-core MediaTek processor and 4GB of RAM power the Fire Max 11. Amazon claimed that the Fire Max tablet has a “14-hour battery life” without providing any further details regarding the battery type. Additionally, the manufacturer includes a slower 9W USB 2.0 charger in the box, which takes 4.2 hours to completely charge the tablet. The charging time can be lowered to 3.5 hours by purchasing an additional 15W charger.
The latest device from the world’s largest online retailer boasts an 8-megapixel camera on the front and back for video conversations. Additionally, Bluetooth 5.3 enables wireless headphone connections. For watching videos, there are also dual speakers that enable Dolby Atmos. The tablet provides a Show Mode (similar to the Echo Show) to operate compatible smart home devices in addition to Alexa integration for voice commands. Additionally, you may establish two adult and four child profiles for family sharing, giving you access to Amazon Kids content and parental settings.
Amazon is also releasing a keyboard case that uses a stylus and pogo pins to magnetically attach to the tablet. Users will pay a total of $329.99 for the deal if they choose to purchase both devices along with the Fire Max tablet. The power button on the side has a fingerprint reader. A MicroSD slot is also available for additional storage. The operating system for the Fire Max 11 is “Fire OS 8,” which is based on Android 11.
The Fire Max 11 is already available for preorder. The tablet comes with a storage capacity of 64GB or 128GB.
