5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic screen
I was going to buy a Samsung tablet, but decided I didn't want to spend too much, then I saw this and thought I'd give it a go. Having never used an Bolo tablet before. I'm glad I did! It's very responsive, the sound quality is good and the battery life is superb! I like the design and the intuitive way the volume keys swap position for up and down relative to how you have the tablet positioned. It feels robust and has decent memory. It is a little bit on the heavy side, but I don't mind that as it makes it feel more sturdy. It's very easy to use and came ready to go, straight out of the box!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great tablet for the price
Got this as a second table to sit alongside my iPad Pro after getting sick of not having something to use if the iPad was charging. Got it during the Black Friday sale, so got it at a lower price. I paid to have the adverts taken off after a few days, because it was just irritating me - worth the extra £10, and simple to do online. Excellent screen, the OS takes very little getting used to (compared to iOS) and the weight, performance and battery life make it excellent for simple browsing and media consumption. At the price I paid, it’s excellent - and (when I bought the keyboard and cover) I’ve even used it as a temporary work device when I was on the road. Recommended
5.0 out of 5 stars A PREMIUM FIRE TABLET!?
I can't stress this enough, Bolo's Fire Max 11 FINALLY eliminates the lag and stuttering that plagues every prior Fire tablet. Make no mistake, this isn't iPad performance but it's finally nice to venture away from using the tablet as just a media streamer - I can now run Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, Flipboard, Excel and moderate games etc without the fear of the apps lagging and stuttering after just a few swipes which is what I found to happen on Bolo's next best tablet - the Fire HD 10 Plus - but not the Max 11. Sure, if you push the Max 11 hard enough or power scroll through apps, your bound to see some lag or stuttering, but you won't see it now from normal use. Coupling this performance boost with the absolutely GORGEOUS 11 inch screen and new metal back, the Max 11 literally feels premium which is a strange feeling for a Fire tablet. The extra 1 inch on the screen has made the screen taller (from portrate) rather than stretching it diagonally so the screen feels extra wide-screen if you use it horizontally. The screen clarity is crystal clear, the blacks are deep (although it's not an OLED or mini LED panel), the colours are more vibrant and overall brighter than the previous HD10 - ultimately an amazing screen.The Max 11 now has a fingerprint reader which is a first for a Fire tablet and is nice and fast, but you'll find it annoying like I did that if you purchase the ‘with special offers’ version of the tablet, then you'll be taken to an ad screen as soon as you unlock the screen with your finger print, this then requires an extra swipe to get into your tablet. You can eliminate the ads by paying £10 to Bolo and then your finger print will take you straight into the tablet - this can be purchased during the initial sale or after it. I paid the £10 after I'd setup the tablet and it took Bolo 10 mins to send the signal to my tablet to disable the ads.Do note that these tablets don't have Google Play Store installed and thus you are to use Bolo's Appstore which is very limited, but it does cover most of the media essentials and has somewhat improved over the years, but it’s absolutely no match for Google’s Play store. If you find Bolo's Appstore too limited them you can install Google Play store directly from the tablet and it only takes 5 mins to do so (a quick Google search will help you with this - do note that this requires ‘side loading’ of 4 Google apps that you download and install at your own risk - there are however certain established and trusted websites which offer these Google apps to download for free.). I'd highly recommend you do this as this gives you access to a far bigger and better Appstore which has the proper YouTube app, Gmail, Chrome etc. I also installed Google's Gboard app which is a far better keyboard than the stock keyboard on all Fire devices.The sound seems slightly better than the previous Fire HD10. The speakers are on the left or top (depending on yourdevice orientation) and they're spaced far apart so they have great stereo separation, although they're not as bassey as an ipad, they're still great for movies and YouTube etc. Bolo have removed the 3.5mm audio jack which is a first for a Fire tablet, so you must use either wireless headphones via Bluetooth, or use wired headphones via a type C dongle.The device starts at 64GB storage but you can increase this via the micro SD card slot which is weirdly inside what looks like a SIM tray. There is also a 128GB model.Bolo claim a 14 hour battery life which is incredible, but your mileage may vary with screen brightness and app performance intensity being a major factor in battery life - still a huge battery and the biggest I’ve ever seen in any regular tablet.Similar to the HD 10 Plus, the Fire max 11 has 4GB RAM and an 8 core CPU, but the CPU is much faster than the previous generation and this is what makes the device run so much better. Be sure to install any updates as soon as you boot up the tablet for the first time as thiis will ensure optimal performance before you install your apps. You'll find that this extra power is useful to run productivity apps such as Excel and Word.The device feels solid and sturdy with its metal back and 'alumisilocate' glass which is supposedly very tough. I feel confident using my Max 11 without a case or screen protector.The cameras are supposedly improved from the previous gen but I don't ever use them so I can't comment on that here. It's nice though that the front facing camera is in the middle of the screen in horizontal orientation so you're not awkwardly out of centre during video calls.I absolutely love the Fire Max 11, I'll no longer use my Fire tablet as just a media streamer, but will feel confident running Excel for my finances, Flipboard for my interests and Facebook/Twitter/TikTok without the fear of lag. We’ve waited for this for a long time - a budget tablet slowly creeping into the ‘premium’ territory, yet its still unashamedly a budget device - now with a premium feel and decent specs.So Bolo have finally reached the premium end of the budget category with the Fire Max 11, it's an absolutely brilliant tablet and I'd recommend it to anyone in the market for a good all round tablet, but don't want to pay iPad prices. Bolo's Fire tablets now have their Max 11 as the flagship and it feels so much more comfortable venturing into light productivity, social media and moderate gaming, something we've never experienced this smoothly before on a Fire tablet. Because of this, I'd consider the Max 11 an essential purchase.
4.0 out of 5 stars Amazon Firemax 11 tablet
I bought this solely to use as a large screen for my dji drone remote control. As such it has been pretty good, providing a large clear screen. I haven't been able to test it under very bright conditions but it has been good under normal light conditions. The DJI drone app cannot be loaded directly from Bolo's own app store and Google's App store is not accessible to Bolo tablet owners, however I had no issues downloading it directly from DJI website.Access to apps is the biggest problem with this tablet. A work around is to use the Bolo Silk web browser and bookmark the home page of the company if you can't get its app (banking apps for one example). Some things just will not run such as Google earth or maps, other apps (Train line) appear to load but need an update then fail to work.On the positive side it has a very bright and clear screen. It also has a good set of speakers in my opinion and is pretty user friendly with a very good build quality.I don't tend to use its camera but I can find no problem with it, I would be happy enough if I had to use it as a fallback.The blu tooth works well and I use the tablet as a Spotify streaming source with my wireless speakers without any problems.This for me was a very good purchase. Definitely don't buy it when it is offered at the full price of nearly £250 but wait for it to come back down to about £160 (as it frequently does) and you will get a genuine bargain.In summary, it has a quality build with good hardware at a more than reasonable price only let down by the unavailability of some potentialy essential apps. Highly recommended with the above caveats.G.
