Amazon presented its latest technological gadget. With the Amazon Fire Max 11, the online sales giant wants to launch an 11-inch tablet primarily suited to entertainment. A fairly fair price, starting at less than 300 euros, should appeal to as many people as possible.
Amazon Fire Max 11 breaks its own records
With the Fire Max 11, Amazon is not launching its first tablet. In the past, the technology company has already presented other models. However, these marked neither a large screen diagonal nor hardware power. Instead, the online retail giant’s goal was to launch devices to use internal services like Prime Video or Amazon Music. The latest addition to the product family aims to demonstrate new virtues. On the one hand, there is the diagonal of the screen. At 11 inches, the upcoming device is the manufacturer’s largest to date. Additionally, the company wishes to have improved performance. An 8-core processor is supposed to provide enough power to play games. The processor is said to be a MediaTek MT8188J. The fact that Amazon is now also interested in games was made clear by the release of Luna in March this year.

The pleasantly powerful processor is supported by 4 GB of RAM. 64 GB or 128 GB of flash memory provide ample space for documents and media. If that’s not enough, you can expand it via microSD. In direct comparison with Amazon’s latest tablet, a lot has changed. The Fire HD 10, which went on sale almost two years ago, is still considered the top of the range. However, you only get a 10-inch display, 3GB of RAM, and up to 64GB of flash storage. In terms of processor technology, however, there was also an 8-core processor. At 490 g, the 11-inch tablet has an average weight. In comparison, the 10.2-inch iPad weighs 498g in its standard version. A real innovation is the fingerprint sensor. Thus, the Amazon Fire Max 11 is the first device from the online delivery giant with a fingerprint sensor.
Many question marks on the display
Even though Amazon is quite open regarding the technology under the hood of the tablet, there are some uncertainties regarding the display. This might be because the display technology probably hasn’t changed much compared to the Fire HD 10. At least a glance at the resolution helps draw this conclusion. At 2000 x 1200 pixels, it is only slightly larger than the 1920 x 1200 pixels of its predecessor. The battery, on the other hand, would have changed quite a bit. The Amazon Fire Max 11 is claimed to have much longer battery life, up to 14 hours. In comparison, the Fire HD 10 only lasted 12 hours or less. However, Amazon’s latest locking device appears to lag behind the competition in terms of charging power. Only a maximum charging power of 9 watts is possible. The tablet can be charged via the USB-C port in four and a half hours. Amazon includes a suitable power adapter. Given the sustainability and cost-saving policies of many other manufacturers, this is no longer a given today.
Four-year update guarantee
Meanwhile, the USB-C port isn’t just supposed to be suitable for battery charging. On top of that, you’ll need to plug in your headphones here if you still have a wired pair. Finally, Amazon does not include a 3.5mm jack. This decision is a bit questionable since competing tablets still rely on the jack. Bluetooth 5.3 is once once more integrated into wireless headphones and speakers.

Amazon wants to ensure that you enjoy high sound enjoyment even without external devices. Thus, the two integrated speakers benefit from Dolby Atmos certification. The integrated microphones also enable video calling in combination with the rear and front cameras with a resolution of 8 MP each. According to Amazon, the 11-inch tablet will be supported for a long time so that the user can enjoy it. The online transportation giant promises four years of security updates.
