    The most powerful Fire tablet yet

    The Fire Max 11 is Amazon’s most powerful tablet yet, almost 50% faster than Amazon’s next fastest tablet, with a 2.2 GHz octa-core processor and 4 GB RAM. Including support for advanced next-generation wireless connectivity with Wi-Fi 6, streaming videos, gaming, or switching between apps is blazing fast. This power makes it easy to do more tasks in parallel, like using split-screen mode to make calls in Zoom or Microsoft Teams while taking notes on OneNote or sending emails.

    When the first Amazon Echo device launched in 2014, it created a new category in tech: The smart speaker.

    The tablet’s sleek and stylish new aluminium design makes Fire Max 11 stand out. It comes with a strengthened glass surface and slim bezels, offering more display area for the screen. The device is three times as durable as the iPad 10.9” (10th generation) as measured in tumble tests, while remaining lightweight at just over a pound. Amazon makes it with 55% recycled aluminium and 34% post-consumer recycled plastics, and packs it in 100% recycled packaging. With a design that reflects decarbonisation efforts in line with The Climate Pledge, Fire Max 11 carries the “Climate Pledge Friendly” badge on Amazon.co.uk, and is certified by Carbon Trust’s Product Carbon Footprint Label.

    Versatile software experience with Fire OS

    With Fire OS, customers get a great experience they won’t find with other tablets. With discovery tools and a recommendation engine, the For You page on the home screen is a great place to discover your next new movie, book, game, and more. The Fire Max 11 is also built with Alexa. You can simply ask Alexa to play a song, start an Audible book, launch a trivia game, find your favorite movies, show your calendar, Drop In on a friend or family member, and more—using only your voice. And with the Device Dashboard on the home screen, you can control your Alexa-enabled smart home devices directly from Fire Max 11. Show Mode allows you to turn your Fire Max 11 into an Echo Show-like screen for your smart home.

Fire Max 11 and accessories are now available in the UK. For more information, go to the Fire Max 11 product page.
