Pixel puzzle piece7/2/2023 ![]() So the Fire Max 11 will also let you take all your favorite games with you - without clogging up your memory (though there is an SD card slot, just in case). It’s all the content that you want, regardless of service.”Īnother important piece of this puzzle is Amazon Luna, which lets you stream big-name video games to just about any screen via the cloud - and just got a big boost with the addition of Fortnite. So we’re really working with our partners to make sure that it’s not just Amazon content. “Now recommendations, not just from us, but also Netflix, Disney+, etc. “Because customers use a lot of entertainment on our devices, and there are millions of titles and movies, it’s kind of an endless sea of different content,” he says. Keith also thinks users will appreciate Amazon’s content recommendations, which uses machine learning to push you apps it thinks you’ll like. So yeah, you’ll get Prime Video (of course) along with popular entertainment apps like Disney+, Netflix, Hulu and Max. Of course, Amazon’s Fire OS still brings the fun to its newest tablet, and you’ll have access to all the apps on the Amazon Appstore. Microsoft users can easily download Office, however, so there’s that. You can always integrate your Gmail into Amazon’s email client, but nothing will be native. One bummer? Though we appreciate that Amazon’s Appstore has high safety standards, heavy Google users will notice that they can’t access the Google Play store to download the Google suite of apps - unless you can figure out how to sideload them. ![]() No Google Play, but Amazon Fire OS is entertaining You can buy the case on its own ($90) or bundle the FIre Max 11 with the Amazon Stylus Pen ($35) for $330, which will save you about $25. Of course, to bring it into the 2-in-1 space, you’ll need to add the Keyboard Case - which, like the Microsoft Surface, connects magnetically to the tablet. It’s Wi-Fi 6 enabled, it has built-in Bluetooth and it comes with either 64GB or 128GB of storage. Other helpful features include dual Dolby Atmos speakers and a USB-C port for external audio. Keith claims the 2.2Ghz octa-core processor and 4GB memory will let the Fire Max 11 run 50% faster than anything the company has shipped yet.Īmazon also claims you’ll get about 14 hours of battery life with the Fire Max 11, though again, we won’t know for sure until we have it in hand. ![]() It has 8-megapixel front and rear cameras with 1080p HD video recording and rear auto-focus, and fingerprint recognition for a quick unlock. The 11-inch rectangular screen covered in strengthened glass is meant to be used horizontally, and comes with 2.4 million pixels (2000 x 1200 resolution) and 410 nits of brightness. Though we didn’t get a chance to play with it ourselves, the specs are encouraging for those looking to combine business with pleasure. And, because the back and housing is crafted from aluminum, this larger tablet also happens to be Amazon’s lightest - weighing in at just over a pound. However, the one thing Amazon understands is value, and with a price tag starting at just $230, the Fire Max 11 is most certainly a deal compared to rivals like the $329 iPad. Here’s what you need to know right now about the largest tablet since the original Fire was launched 11 years ago.Īmazon claims that its Fire tablet is the number-two-selling tablet behind the iPad, and with this new addition, it hopes to compete with other popular hybrid tablets like Microsoft’s popular Surface 2-in-1 devices. We got a sneak peek of the new Fire Max 11 at one of Amazon’s NYC headquarters, though we’ll be getting it in soon for a full hands-on review. In addition, the move toward using Fire tablets for things like video calls, email and general multitasking also forced Amazon to reconsider the smaller sizes. In fact, our 10-inch segment has more than doubled over the last two years,” he says. “If you flash back to 2019, the majority of our business was 7-inch devices - and now it’s 8 and 10 inches. ![]() The new tablet is Amazon’s first foray into larger sizes, and according to Kevin Keith, vice president of product management and marketing, it fits the trend the company has seen since the pandemic. And starting at just $230, it’s a heck of a deal too. The company’s thinnest, largest and most powerful tablet to date, the Fire Max 11 has an 11-inch screen and a suite of upgraded features and accessories - including an optional magnetic keyboard and stylus - which should better appeal to business users.
