Amazon on Thursday introduced an all-new lineup of tablets that include powerful hardware, personalized assistance from Alexa+ AI Assistant and built-in access to Google Play store. The lineup includes three models: Amazon Alexa Tablet 12 Pro, Amazon Alexa Tablet 11, and Amazon Alexa Tablet 8.
Amazon confirms that the three new tablets feature premium aluminum unibody making, crystal clear high-resolution displays, and powerful processors. The tablets run on Android and offers unlimited access to the Google Play store from where users can download millions of apps including YouTube, Netflix, Gmail, and Google Docs alongside built-in Amazon apps that include Prime Video, Kindle, Audible, Amazon Music, Amazon Quick and Amazon Luna.
Amazon till date was using its own app store and Fire OS to ship and operate the Amazon tablets. But this approach is somehow different as the tech giant is trying to reach a wider audience with its new set of Amazon tablets. That’s what the company has empowered the devices with new hardware and a new OS rather than the rebrand of Fire Tablets.
Amazon Alexa Tablet 12 Pro Features
Though the company confirms that the Amazon Alexa Tablets are made up of premium aluminum unibody design, the variants differ a bit in terms of features and specifications. Talking about the Amazon Alexa Tablet 12 Pro, it houses a 12-inch 280 PPI display with 120Hz refresh rate, and 3:2 aspect ratio for that makes the tablet a perfect device for reading, watching or official works. It comes in two display options, a standard display and a Nanomatte display with anti-glare.
The Amazon Alexa Tablet 12 Pro measures 6.5 mm thick and is engineered for perfect balance, confirms Amazon in an official release. It offers three times more processor performance and nine times more graphics performance than any of the predecessors, the company has ever shipped. Further the device features Dolby Atmos speakers, Wi-Fi 6E, and 16 hours of video playback and comes packed with a Alexa Tablet Pro Pen and Pro Keyboard which will convert the device into a full fledged workstation.
The Alexa Tablet 12 Pro will be sold in Graphite color and will be sold at a price tag of $499.99. Similarly, the Nanomatte model will be sold at $549.99.
Amazon Alexa Tablet 11 Features
The Alexa Tab 11 comes laced with an 11-inch device with a 2.5K display at 276 pixels per inch, 90Hz smooth scrolling, and a 16:10 aspect ratio.

It provides 15 hours of non-stop video playback and supports dual Dolby Atmos speakers. The device comes in three color variants such as Graphite, Amethyst, and Matcha and will start at a price tag of $329.99.
Amazon Alexa Tablet 8 Features
The third device in the Amazon Alexa Tab lineup is Alexa Tablet 8. It’s the smallest one of the three and it boasts of a 8.7-inch display and an all-aluminum design that weighs 329 grams. It’s more like a Smartphone and hence is handy to be carried anywhere you want.
