Fantastic delivery if you're plugged into thr Amazon ecosystem !(as i am.....amd got kicked in the teeth when I dared to accept a free Samsung tablet with my s25. I was royally annoyed at the time , but I bowed in homage to the Bezos and bought the top of the line fire. .VERY nice it is too....seems to be a problem with their USB. C being ultra sensitive to moisture or dust. (Atmospheric i mean) i can leave it on charge while I go out. And it's a 50/50 chance it will do it! I'm not bad mouthing a very very nice Fire (probs best yet)....but I'm tired of the business wars, of you can't install that, or you can until 2 weeks later. When. It's only on Play. I used to love playing. KOTOR. Purchased it and everything. Review in nutshell Powerful and wonderful screen. Sound dolby atmosphere, works great . I love the fingerprint security (dont need to actually press the button. I don't have case for it yet, and though it's not heavy....it becomes so after an hour of trading or reading etc. I enjoy the device, it feels great. (-reason I don't have a case yet if I'm honest! The only issue for . Speaking as a lome consumer.i wish I could rely on it. Chatging . I get the Moisture. Detected every singe day......and it ncharges to 100%,if left and the port not wiggled until the lightening logo appears on the l The battery. Iid there a case with a different portt? And a key board.. I've already replaced one for this issue.....a reasonably. High value item that I enjoy a lot ( oh and I can just hear the moisture warning now..... its not even plugged in. So as you , this is THE device for those, like me who chose Amazon before they had much Competition, and now the annoying little dirty tricks of " if u want want to play X game. Then you I u need our device! " (nevermind a decade of apps that suddenly aren't crosscompatible, like they have been forever! OK...cut loose with a bit of saltiness there.....but it's still a great machine that is worth considering for ALL

I like the fact that you can add a detachable keyboard to it if you want using the magnets that are already built in if you want ,great idea ! The metal finish is a nice touch and going back to quality and away from plastic as everything is these days 🙁 This is different,I really like it and all the New features built in to the Amazon Fire Max 11 I’ve had 4 Amazon Fire tablets and this one is as good if not better than the rest but of course technology has greatly improved over the years ! It’s a handy size too and very sturdy in it’s appearance and handling,its camera is a decent one now and the video works well ,nice and crisp photos can be taken and the sound quality is good too Easy to set up you’re apps and you can use it as a Kindle to read books as well Very good Everything in one place I’ve bought a magnet case for it and that just makes it even better

I have owned pretty much every Amazon tablet so far from the old Fire HD to the newer HD10’s and the Fire 8. I also have an iPad but I will come back to that. Fire Max 11 blows all previous Amazon tablets away and it should especially when it is nearly £100 more than the previous best. On opening you find a really premium device. Gone are the creaky plastic cases. Gone is the headphone jack as well. Instead you get a beautiful aluminium body that is really tactile. The buttons are all on one side with the USB C socket for charging and SD card slot which accepts up to 1tB of additional storage. I’m not able to go into lots of technical jargon or processing speed tests as I am a normal consumer but right out of the box it feels far more responsive than previous fire tablets. Bluetooth is more reliable and with WiFi 6 downloads are fast and snappy. Yes there is the usual concern about limited apps in the Amazon App Store but to be honest most of the main things are there. Yes there are ways to add other stores like sideloading but this can be risky and unadvisable. Apart from the speed increase, the star of the show is the display. It is gorgeous. I know others will have better dpi etc but for watching media content or playing games on streaming services like gamepass or the excellent Luna that works flawlessly on the fire 11, the display excels. Going back to my iPad, it is the 2019 version and this display is better to me. The main reason is I like doodling with a pen and on the iPad the air gap between display and glass makes a hollow tapping sound. This is true of a large number of tablets including the older fire tablets. The fire max 11 doesn’t have this gap and the result is a brighter more vivid display somehow and it doesn’t have the hollow knock when using pens. You really have to see it to appreciate the difference. My only criticism is that the price for official Amazon accessories is creeping up to the fruit manufacturer levels. With a case in the region of £50 and the pencil £39 ish it’s getting expensive to justify buying them. I went with a decent other brand case but there are no third party pencils that currently work with the fire tablet. It is though a brilliant tablet, my daily goto. I was lucky enough to pick one up on prime day in a deal which really makes this tablet a steal. This is not just a great Amazon tablet but a really great tablet in its own right and a must for media consumers shortlists.

This is a vey competent mid range tablet which will serve most needs of the average 'browser' and 'streamer' with a good sized vibrant screen and quick activation. If you are into the Amazon world then it certainly is an excellent product. Should you require Google and if you intend spreadsheets and word processing then, it will cope but perhaps needs to be on a shortlist rather than an obvious stand alone choice. My broadband supplier gives free anti virus software protection but unfortunately it will not download onto this device. There are of course free apps available and those that require a subscription so it shouldn't be too much of a negative for most. The sound quality is good though not exceptional and the tablet is robust and responsive. So overall i am satisfied with the quality, the value for money and performance. Its really a matter of horses for courses, and that doesn't necessarily mean its an inferior product. I would certainly buy it again. Chose the time to buy, and watch for price reductions. If you require accessories then they are not particularly cheap' Delivery, as usual prompt and excellent.

I am delighted with this tablet. I have used Amazon tablets before and been perfectly happy with them as they are reliable, easy to use and extremely robust ( - I once dropped a Fire 8 downstairs where it landed on a stone floor still playing and completely undamaged!) Overall have found the length of life of Fire tablets to be exceptional. I had a Fire 7 that was many years old and still working fine which I gave away a couple of years ago. It is apparently still happily in use! I also value the customer support given by Amazon. I have minimal tech skills and have had speedy and exceptionally helpful and patient responses from Amazon staff on several occasions. However this Fire Max 11 really is a noticeable step up in performance. I especially like the speed of downloads, the screen and the whole feel and lighter weight of it. I do use a range of Amazon services such as Amazon Music, Audible, Alexa and Kindle so it's natural for me just to upgrade as the apps I use most are all ready and waiting. My Fire 11 was already over 70% charged on arrival and took about 15 minutes to set up. My internet connection and email accounts were already there as I chose set up based on my existing Fire tablet. There is an option to set up manually if preferred. Looking at points made by some other reviewers I have had a happier experience. I find the volume fine, better than a Fire 8 and ten and better than my partner's much more costly tablet. For music I would always use a speaker or headphones in any event and have found connection to Bluetooth on this to be very fast and reliable. My Echo and Anker speakers and headphones work well with the Fire 11. Without additional audio devices the Fire Max 11 is fine for the spoken word. The Amazon app store does have a free sound booster which works well on earIier Fire tablets and might be worth trying if you want extra volume. I also find the brightness of the screen fine and have actually reduced it a little. I am not a game player so can't comment on this but the excellent screen and speed would seem promising. The Google Play Store situation is a pain for many I appreciate, but it can be side loaded or downloaded very easily and there is ample guidance on this online together with links to the files needed. I have not yet installed an SD card but have done this on earlier Fire tablets with no difficulty. As another reviewer says it all depends what you want. It's worth analysing the things you wish to do with a tablet and deciding what will best meet your needs and budget. For me I value the Amazon reliability, customer support and services like Audible and Amazon Music greatly. Combined with the price and the attractive appearance and improved screen and speed this purchase was an easy decision. Come Prime Day I may be looking for a second Fire Max 11 for my partner!!

I bought this for my wife as a Christmas present in 2024, so it's had well over a year of regular use. She absolutely loves it and has had zero issues with it. The screen is a great size, it's quick for everyday use, the battery life is still excellent, and it feels much more premium than you'd expect for the price. If you're already invested in Amazon's ecosystem, I honestly don't think you can go wrong. It's been a fantastic buy and I'd happily recommend it.

My third Fire device; most recently upgrading from a 2019 Fire HD 10, and the performance difference is very noticeable. Modest processor improvement, but doubling of RAM from 2 to 4gb makes for a marked difference. Best of all, they've managed to increase the screen size by an inch whilst actually slightly decreasing the overall size of the tablet & shaving off a few grams of weight. Similarly, they've managed to moderately improve battery life (14 hours vs 12), despite powering a larger screen & better internals. If there's one hardware shortcoming, it's the camera - quality has been improved to 8MP, but it's one area where the Fire significantly lags behind mid- & high-end Apple & Android tablets. It's functional enough, and works fine for video calls like Skype or Zoom, but still photographs won't be winning any awards. You can't have everything at this price point though (heavily discounted on Amazon Prime day). Regardless of the pretty basic camera, it is almost impossible to beat Amazon's tablets in terms of value for money, with great hardware at bargain basement prices. It set up & running out of the box in about 2 minutes; with my Amazon account already linked to the device when it shipped, basically all I had to do was select language, timezone, and connect to WiFi. If you've done any research at all on Amazon tablets, you'll know that Amazon's app store is sorely lacking, but that problem can be easily solved after initial setup - literally another 5 minutes work (easy, step-by-step instructions on Google), & you're running / have access to Google Play.

I have long been wanting a tablet I can use as a music score reader. The processing power in today's tablets mean almost any modern tablet can cope with displaying a PDF of a full orchestral score -but then it comes down to matters such as screen resolution and battery life. The battery life on this tablet seems pretty good -and certainly exceeds the Chuwi tablet I bought last year to do the same job. The screen resolution is also excellent. So what's not to like? Well: for starters, the screen is much narrower than I expected. Even the button placement (power and volume on 'top' left) tells you its designers expected it to be used in landscape mode to watch movies (in that orientation, the buttons are on the right-top side, which feels natural). A landscape music reader is not what I wanted, however. For comparison, my old CHUWI Android 12 Tablet HiPad Xpro is a good 2cm wider than this one, and almost the same height, so this Fire tablet is very much 'letterbox' format, which I wasn't expecting and don't like. The other big drawback to this, my first Fire tablet: it's the lack of the Google play store, I'm afraid. I'm happy to be de-Googling my life to some extent, but the Amazon App Store is seriously deficient in product. You cannot (easily) install something as basic as Firefox, for example. I knew this, kinda sorta, before buying the thing, so I went in at least eyes half-open, but I'm rather surprised at *how* poor the app situation actually is. I disliked the ads too: I went 'with ads' because it was a fraction cheaper than 'without', but within a couple of days, I'm happy to have paid the extra to get rid of them. It has made a surprising 'quality of life' change: the tablet feels like mine now, not theirs! Would I buy it again? Probably not. It's a very good tablet, as tablets go: great screen, good battery life, nice and bright, not-too-heavy to handle. It's certainly excellent at displaying movies and TV shows. It's just not brilliant as a document reader, because it's height/width ratio is more video-appropraite then document-appropriate. So, for me, it doesn't meet the goals I had set for it -and the lack of apps in the Amazon store means it's trickier than it should be to find an alternative use for it.
