Amazon's new tablet unveiled

Amazon unveiled its Fire Max 11 tablet with an 11-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 2000x1200, according to the portal

GSMArena.The heart of the novelty was the eight-core processor from MediaTek (MTK8188J) with 4 GB of RAM. The fingerprint sensor is built into the power button. There are options for 64 GB or 128 GB of permanent memory. The manufacturer claims autonomy up to 14 hours. The bundled charger has a power of 9W and it takes more than four hours to fully charge the device. However, there is a 15W adapter commercially available that reduces the charging time to 3.5 hours.

There are a couple of 8-megapixel cameras:one front, one back, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 support, and Dolby Atmos speakers. The Fire Max 11 is available for pre-order starting at $229 and will ship next month, along with the accessories: keyboard case and stylus. The complete set will cost $329.99. These prices are for the version with ads on the lock screen. The ad-free version is priced at $244.99, while the full set is $344.99. It comes with a three-month trial of Microsoft 365 Personal ($6.99/month after that), which includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and 1TB of cloud storage.
