    I've been a long time Fire Tablet and Kindle user. My tablets have never been more than a media consumption device for me. I currently have a 2019 HD10 (which after gift cards, credits, sales, and a trade in, I paid less than $20 for new) that resides in my kitchen for watching content while I cook or, I use it to display recipes. If I need to do something more intensive, I have my Pixelbook Go or Pixel 7a. And for true productivity, I have a Macbook Air M2. I've never used a case on my HD10, and it's been dropped repeatedly (even has a crack on the corner) but runs pretty flawlessly (if not a little slow at times). I love this tablet for travel also, as I'm just not as concerning about it like I would be an iPad (which I don't love, and I do have the current Mini). I really love the idea of this new 11, but for me I don't know that I can justify even a discounted price. But, I think this is a step in a great direction for Amazon Fire Tablets.

      You can still side load the Google Play Store/services, directly from the device, but the best way now days, to also get even more options/to be able to get rid of bloatware/ads/to get a custom launcher and to really take back control over your settings/device, is the Fire Toolbox application, which is an application you can get on your computer, that developers use, you also need to turn on USB debugging and I would also unlock developer options as well, which will also give you accsess to animations, to speed up devices.

      If you're referring to what it looks like without the ads. You just wouldn't see any ads on the lock screen, you would just see the time, and any notifications that came in. And you could just swipe open the tablet from there. Sorry I don't have a way to show you, but it's similar to a phone lock screen. No ads. Just your notifications.

    • @AndroidDigest

      Not down on it at all. Check my more recent video on it actually. I said a lot of great things about it. I was simply comparing this tablet to it and stating that it's better in multiple areas. It technically has a better screen and a better processor. But obviously it has a lot more limitations. So if you don't like those limitations, or if you have a higher gigabyte version of the tab a8, it's a good option. But the S6 Lite is just a little more expensive with an spen and a better processor. So it's a great option for those who don't need an s pen. But it's not perfect. But I highly recommend it still

    It can do more than 720p on CZcams. I actually can do 1440p 60fps on my Fire Max 11. Granted it does push the CPU to the limit but it does do 1440p 60 fps with little to lag/buffering. The problem is that YT doesn't use hardware acceleration in most browsers mobile or not. If YT took full advantage of the hardware it would stream 1440p as easily as 720p.

      Try changing the resolution on YT videos themselves manually. YT defaults to automatically setting your video resolution and it isn't always the best your hardware is capable of. After you manually set the resolution then select "stats for nerds" in the sub menu in the video itself. The "stats for nerds" will back up my assertion.

      Without Google services, this tablet feels pretty useless. Plus, Microsoft Office web apps don't play nice on non-computer devices.

      2 Peter 3:9
      The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
      Hebrews 11:6
      6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

      Not quite the same price - Amzn Max Fire is on sale now for $139. Samsung A9+ is $178. Other specs very comparable. And it's super easy to upload Goog Play Store to Max 11. Max 11 is a better fit for me due to price point, Amzn Kindle Reader, Prime Videos, etc....

    I have always found Amazon tablets to be quite reliable machines. I still have a fully working and charging 2012 model kindle fire hd 7 (code name Tate).
    I also bought both an Apple and Android tablets within a year of buying the Kindle Fire HD 7.
    Of the three here in 2023 only the kindle fire hd 7 is still working. Both the Apple and Android tablets have long since gone to the rubbish tip. And both the Apple and Android tablets were more expensive machines to buy. In my own experience of using Amazon, Apple and Android tablets. Amazon have been the most reliable followed by Android and Apple has been the least reliable machines. Whilst Apple was the most expensive followed by Android and Amazon was the least expensive. Strangely enough the most expensive Amazon tablet i bought was also the only Amazon tablet that stopped working properly. That went to the rubbish tip last year.

      I'm glad you mentioned that. Far too many people are going around saying that iPads will last forever and I have always known that to be rubbish. I had two of the earlier generation iPads, where one just stopped working, and the other had a screen that got so out of sync that it became unbearable to continue using it. Apple told me that I had to buy a new tablet since it was likely that the circuit board was causing the issue. I would have been a fool to spend that kind of money again. I had one of the original Kindle Fire 7 tablets that lasted many years. The only reason I don't still have it is because I finally traded it in for a discount on a Fire HD 8 Plus. But I still have my original Kindle for reading books, and my HD 8 has great battery life. With this Fire Max 11 going on sale for Prime day at $149.99, I have to splurge and buy it. It's too good to pass up.

      @@morganbrd The beauty is that the majority of tablets, including my Amazon Fire tablets, are primarily for consumption or entertainment. You don't need the latest update to watch Amazon Prime shows or to play Solitaire or other games. It's why I saw no other reason to spend tons of money on another iPad. I was given an iPad Pro for free via my college, but still, it's really only used for consumption and to entertain. I have a Samsung S7 Plus which gives me the option of split-screen and makes a more than useful productivity device. The only thing I don't have is the ability to have as many VMs as I use on my Windows desktop. I don't think all the power of the iPad Pros are worth the money. Benchmarks don't translate into real world use. The benchmark power of my iPad Pro has yet to be of any use to me if my Kindle Fire or Samsung S7 Plus can open up the Washington Post just as fast for hundreds dollars less. Updates won't fix that. That's a common usage dynamic that doesn't require tons of power. And to be honest, I don't care what anyone or the benchmarks say, there's only a small percentage of people using their iPad Pros for video editing. That's not something that the common user will ever need.

    The thing is, this has the same chip as the fire 10 and the same amount of RAM. But you lose the headphone jack (and unlike the 10-in variant, there's no option for wireless charging). I understand people might prefer an 11-in model but that's a huge jump in price when you can get the 10-in model for 80 bucks pretty easily. Once you factor in the 11-inch model with a keyboard bundle, you probably have enough money to grab a Lenovo duet 5 or 3.
    I will be interested to see what kind of discounts are available for this product but at over $300 with the keyboard bundle, I do not think it's particularly good value. You can get an open box duet 5. 8 GB of RAM, much more robust operating system, OLED screen for 300 bucks today.

      The Fire HD10/HD10+ have the same processor, the Max 11 has an upgraded processer. The HD10 has 3g of RAM while the HD10+ and Max 11 have 4. So the Max has the best processor and RAM combo of the three. Info pulled from the GSMArena compare page.

    I would love to get the Max 11 but I just couldn't live without the Google Play Store (I miss the days where you could wipe the Fire tablets and install real Android) and I don't want to risk not being able to get apps I need. Also I don't need any power, I just want an Android tablet to install sketchy apps that are probably stealing all my personal data and spying on me. I literally just bought an Android 13 10" tablet for $58. I already have a burner GMail account for Google Play Store, I use a virtual credit card I turn off immediately, I'll tape over the front cam, and I will have zero real personal info on the tablet.

      From their website:
      Amazon Fire OS
      Kindle Fire HDX 7 (3rd Gen), Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 (3rd Gen), Fire HDX 8.9 (4th Gen), Fire HD 6 & 7 (4th Gen), Fire HD 8 & 10 (5th Gen), and Fire (5th Gen) except: Amazon Fire HD 2013
