Fire Max 11

Amazon's Fire Max 11 has the best build of any Fire tablet, but Fire OS still limits it.

Buying call

Buy the Fire Max 11 if you mostly stream Amazon's video, read Kindle books and use Alexa: it has an 11-inch 2K screen, an aluminum body and lasted 7 h 55 min in a full-brightness video test. Skip it if you want Google apps or productivity, because Fire OS has a limited app store and no clear path to major OS upgrades. Reviewers also flagged tinny speakers, slow charging and awkward button placement.

Buying decision

Should you buy it?

Buy the Fire Max 11 if you mostly stream Amazon's video, read Kindle books and use Alexa: it has an 11-inch 2K screen, an aluminum body and lasted 7 h 55 min in a full-brightness video test. Skip it if you want Google apps or productivity, because Fire OS has a limited app store and no clear path to major OS upgrades. Reviewers also flagged tinny speakers, slow charging and awkward button placement.
