The Amazon Fire Max 11 is everything that's wrong with Android tablets

The Amazon Fire Max 11

Things were looking promising for Android tablets until the Amazon Fire Max 11 came along, with new tablets like the OnePlus Pad and Pixel Tablet stepping up to compete with the iPad, though the prices for those are still Apple-high. The Fire Max 11, however is a step backwards, and it’s exactly what makes people hate Android on tablets. Now that Amazon is setting its hooks into an above-cheap tier, more people will buy a disappointing tablet, and will blame Android. 

Wait a second – the Amazon Fire Max 11 seems fine, you’re saying. It has a bigger display than the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8, and it weighs less. It’s more durable than an iPad 10.9 (2022), according to Amazon. It’s also less expensive, and it comes with Microsoft Office, which you can use with the available keyboard. Oh, and the keyboard and stylus accessories aren’t expensive, especially if you buy them as a bundle.
