It’s also actually the thinner of the two options, measuring in at an impressive 7.5mm compared to the comparatively chunky 9.2mm-thick Fire HD 10. That’s because, despite the Fire Max 11 having a larger display and a higher-quality aluminium frame than the Fire HD 10’s plastic build, the Fire Max 11 weighs in at a relatively svelte 489g. When it comes to overall weight, the Amazon Fire HD 10 wins out at 465g, making it a great lightweight option for media consumption, largely down to the largely plastic build on offer from the budget tablet – though there’s admittedly not much between the two. The Fire HD 10 is lighter than the Fire Max 11 It claims the strengthened glass on offer from the Max 11 is three times more durable than the 9th-gen iPad, though how Amazon came up with those numbers is unclear. It not only boasts a higher resolution than the Fire HD 10 (and any other Fire tablet) at 2000 x 1200 pixels, but it’s made from what Amazon calls “strengthened glass”. Of course, there’s more to a good display than the size, but it seems the Fire Max 11 has the upper hand there too. The Fire Max 11 has a higher-quality, larger displayĪs the name suggests, one of the key differences between the Fire HD 10 and Fire Max 11 is the size of the display the former measures in at 10.1 inches while the latter comes in at 11 inches.
