Amazon has introduced its new Alexa Tablets, a lineup of Android tablets built around its Alexa+ assistant and full access to the Google Play Store.
The lineup consists of the Amazon Alexa Tablet 12 Pro, Amazon Alexa Tablet 11, and Amazon Alexa Tablet 8. All three feature aluminum designs, high-resolution displays, and Alexa+ built into the core tablet experience. The Alexa Tablet 12 Pro leads the lineup
The Amazon Alexa Tablet 12 Pro is the flagship model. It features a 12-inch 2800 x 1840 display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 3:2 aspect ratio. It measures just 6.5mm thick and weighs 550g.
The tablet runs on a 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 8400 processor with up to 16GB of RAM. Amazon claims it delivers nearly three times faster processing and nine times faster graphics than any tablet it has previously shipped.
The tablet also has quad Dolby Atmos speakers, Wi-Fi 6E, and up to 16 hours of video playback.
An optional Nanomatte display uses an etched anti-glare surface designed to reduce reflections while retaining detail and color accuracy. Amazon says it is designed to remain readable in different lighting conditions.
The company is also offering a Pro Pen and Pro Keyboard for the 12 Pro. The pen supports 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity, tilt detection, magnetic docking, and wireless charging, while the keyboard turns the tablet into a more traditional productivity setup.
Alexa+ is built into the tablets
Alexa+ is integrated throughout the new tablets. Users can activate it by saying “Alexa” or tapping the Ask Alexa button without leaving their current app.
The assistant can also use On-Screen Intelligence to understand what’s displayed on the tablet. Users can ask Alexa to analyze information, help plan activities, or perform tasks based on what’s on screen.
Alexa+ also supports hands-free live sessions, allowing users to have continuous conversations without repeating the wake word.
Amazon says these screen-related features are off by default and require users to opt in. A visual indicator appears whenever Alexa is active.
The other two tablets
The Amazon Alexa Tablet 11 has an 11-inch 2560 x 1600 display with a 90Hz refresh rate and 16:10 aspect ratio. It uses an 8-core processor with 8GB of RAM, dual Dolby Atmos speakers, and offers up to 15 hours of video playback.
Meanwhile, the Amazon Alexa Tablet 8 is the most portable model. It has an 8.7-inch display, weighs 329g, and measures 7.95mm thick. It offers up to 14 hours of video playback and comes with the same Alexa+ integration as the larger models.
All three tablets run Android 16 and include Google Play Store access, alongside Amazon’s own apps such as Prime Video, Kindle, Audible, Amazon Music, Amazon Quick, and Amazon Luna.
