- Amazon
- Was $279.99 / £249
- Now $159.99 / £124.99
The model runs the Fire OS, just like the rest of the Fire TV collection from Amazon, so you’ll get access to all of your favourite streaming apps – like Spotify, BBC iPlayer, itvX, Prime Video, Netflix, Disney Plus, FreeVee, TikTok and loads more.
There’s also plenty of productivity options too, with Microsoft apps on board – that means Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Teams via a Microsoft 365 subscription. There are also keyboard and stylus accessories available to buy separately too.
It’s worth noting that the Fire Max 11 doesn’t use Google Play Store but instead uses Amazon’s own App Store, so you won’t have direct access to Google apps such as Docs, Gmail and YouTube.

Mobiles Editor Lewis Painter praised the solid 2K, 11-inch display, which he said was ideal for streaming on Netflix. The loud, room filling speaker was a bonus. There’s also enough power from the octa-core processor to manage every day tasks. This model has 64GB of storage with 4GB of RAM and a 14-hour battery life.
He added: “The Amazon Fire Max 11’s 11-inch 2K display makes it ideal for streaming and gaming – as long as the app’s available on the Appstore.”
You can easily convert the Fire Max 11 into a child-friendly tablet for your kids, simply by adding parental controls to ensure your child stays safe online. Parents can even subscribe to Amazon Kids Plus for just £4.99 a month and get access to thousands of child-friendly books, apps and games.
