FULL STORY
======================================================================

Amazons Fire tablets are known for being affordable and usually quite small, 
but the companys latest slate breaks at least one of those trends, as the 
Amazon Fire Max 11 has just been announced, and it has an 11-inch 1200 x 2000 
screen. 

Previously, the biggest Amazon tablet was the 10.1-inch Amazon Fire HD 10 , 
but an extra inch of screen space isnt all you get here. 

For one thing, the Amazon Fire Max 11 has an 8MP front-facing camera thats 
ideally positioned for landscape video calls. That means the lens is halfway 
down one of the long sides of the slate, which makes a lot more sense for a 
tablet, as theyre almost always used in landscape orientation for video 
chats. This isn't the first Fire with that design, but it's something a lot 
of tablets don't have. (Image credit: Amazon) 

That positioning and the 11-inch size actually makes this potentially one of 
the closest rivals to the iPad 10.9 (2022) , as that has an almost identical 
screen size and is also the first iPad to have a landscape selfie camera, as 
well as being one of the cheapest iPads  though its still more expensive than 
Amazons slate by quite a way. 

Other highlights of the Amazon Fire Max 11 include a 2.2GHz octa-core chipset 
along with 4GB of RAM. That might not sound special, but Amazon claims this 
makes it almost 50% faster than the companys next-fastest tablet. 

Amazon also claims that with an aluminum build and a strengthened glass 
screen, its three times as durable as the iPad 10.9 (2022), and the tablet 
promises 14 hours of battery life, and comes with Dolby Atmos audio and a 
choice of 64GB or 128GB of storage. 

Rounding out the specs, theres an 8MP camera on the back, a fingerprint 
sensor  another novel addition for the Fire tablet series  and, of course, it 
comes with Amazons Alexa assistant built in. (Image credit: Amazon) 

There are also accessories for it, including a detachable keyboard case and a 
stylus, so this could be just as good for productivity and creation as a 
basic iPad. 

The price for the Amazon Fire Max 11 itself starts at $244.99 / 249.99 
(around AU$370), but you can get a bundle with those accessories for $344.99 
/ 374.97 (around AU$530). Separately, the keyboard case retails for 89.99 
(roughly $110 / AU$170), while the stylus costs 34.99 (approximately $45 / 
AU$65). 

On paper, this sounds like it could be one of the best cheap tablets (not to 
mention worthy of our best Amazon Fire tablet list), and if you like the 
sound of all this, you can pre-order the Amazon Fire Max 11 now in the US and 
UK (with Australia not likely to get it, based on past form), and it will 
ship from June 14  though you might want to wait until weve put it through a 
full review.
