Amazon's Alexa Tablet 12 Pro Offers a Strong Android Experience with Some Drawbacks
The Amazon Alexa Tablet 12 Pro is praised for its high-quality display and full access to the Google Play Store, offering users a robust selection of Android apps. The tablet features a 12-inch Nanomatte screen that reduces glare without compromising sharpness or color accuracy. Priced at $549.99, it sits in the midrange segment but is considered one of Amazon’s best offerings to date. Despite its strong hardware and display capabilities, the device comes with significant bloatware from Amazon, including Alexa Plus and other pre-installed apps that users may not want or need. While performance specs are adequate for most tasks, some aspects fall short compared to competitors like Apple's iPad in terms of color depth and brightness. The tablet is part of a broader lineup ranging from $229.99 up to the 12 Pro model with additional features. The Verge notes that while it’s not perfect, the Alexa Tablet 12 Pro represents an important step forward for Amazon's Android-based devices.
