  Should you get a brand new Google book or should
• 0:03
  you get a new Amazon Fire tablet? I know that's
• 0:09
  probably a dilemma and or a thought nobody has
• 0:12
  ever had in the history of humankind, but now
• 0:16
  it's actually reality. Like this is a real thing
• 0:19
  now. So check this out. Amazon has got new Fire
• 0:22
  tablets and it's not the same old, same old cheap
• 0:25
  Fire tablets. And this thing's running full Google
• 0:29
  Play Store. so look at this so amazon just launched
• 0:34
  brand new tablets now there's three of them that
• 0:38
  they're bringing to life but only one really
• 0:41
  piques my interest and i think you all know why
• 0:44
  so traditionally the amazon fire tablets were
• 0:49
  cheap you would essentially be a kid's tablet
• 0:53
  where you got a little toddler you want to buy
• 0:55
  them a tablet something to keep them busy just
• 0:57
  buy them a little cheap amazon fire tablet here
• 1:00
  here you go they get dirty they get fingerprints
• 1:02
  they get stuff spilled on it they get dropped
• 1:04
  you know it's it's not like an actual tablet
• 1:08
  that grown -up adults would want to use but now
• 1:12
  they're bringing these to the table these are
• 1:14
  their new premium tablets in three different
• 1:17
  sizes and three different storage variants so
• 1:23
  This is actually not looking that bad. So this
• 1:27
  is the first ever range of tablets with the full
• 1:31
  Google Play Store automatically coming on the
• 1:36
  device right out of the box. It's a premium aluminum
• 1:39
  unibody design and some pretty impressive internal
• 1:42
  hardware. So the Alexa Tablet 12 Pro is the top
• 1:47
  of the line variant and will be available with
• 1:50
  a nano -coated finish. anti -reflective display
• 1:55
  pretty freaking sweet now they also released
• 1:59
  an 8 .7 and an 11 inch quote -unquote kids tablet
• 2:03
  with variants designed specifically for children
• 2:06
  over the ages of three these tablets are still
• 2:11
  going to be running fire os which is a fork of
• 2:16
  android operating system it's like amazon's skin
• 2:19
  and or version of android sort of like how samsung
• 2:22
  has one ui well amazon has fire os now this makes
• 2:27
  big news that it comes with the google play store
• 2:30
  because traditionally amazon products electronics
• 2:35
  that run fire os did not come with the Play Store.
• 2:39
  Traditionally, in years past, you would have
• 2:41
  to sideload Google Play Services and the Google
• 2:45
  Play Store on your Amazon Fire device, whether
• 2:49
  that's a TV and or a tablet. So it makes big
• 2:53
  news that they're actually selling these with
• 2:56
  the Google Play Store already built in. Look,
• 2:59
  I believe Amazon finally got it. Ding! The bell
• 3:03
  rang. The light bulb went off in their head.
• 3:06
  Hey, if we really want to sell these, we should
• 3:09
  probably include the Google Play Store because
• 3:13
  the Amazon App Store kind of sucks, right? You
• 3:17
  don't get the full gamut of applications that
• 3:20
  the Google Play Store offers. Well, now you can
• 3:24
  and you don't even have to sideload it. You got
• 3:26
  the Amazon Tablet 12 Pro. You got the Tablet
• 3:31
  11 and Tablet 8. Let's jump in to the specs.
• 3:36
  I'm going to... Focus on the 12 -inch Pro tablet
• 3:41
  that they have to offer because that's the main
• 3:44
  one everybody's going to be interested in. And
• 3:47
  it actually, as I mentioned, has some impressive
• 3:49
  specs. So it's a 12 -inch, 2800 by 1840, 120
• 3:55
  hertz display with a 3 by 2 aspect ratio. Amazon
• 4:00
  is going to offer a version. with what it calls
• 4:03
  nano matte coating for anti -reflective and or
• 4:07
  anti -glare properties similar to what you will
• 4:11
  find on some apple ipad ipad pro variants now
• 4:17
  with now when it comes to the cpu well that's
• 4:23
  kind of where they cut corners but i think it
• 4:26
  should be suitable it actually has a four nanometer
• 4:31
  eight core mediatek diamond city 8400 chipset
• 4:35
  this is the same chipset that motorola has used
• 4:37
  over the last couple of years and some of their
• 4:40
  uh phones more specifically the devices that
• 4:44
  are sold in india i've been scanning motorola
• 4:48
  phones over the last six to eight months and
• 4:51
  i see this mediatek diamond city 8400 chipset
• 4:55
  in a bunch of the like moto edge uh 60 pro stuff
• 5:00
  like that or that are that sold in India, so
• 5:03
  this is a Suitable chipset. It's not your ultra
• 5:07
  premium chipset, right? It's not the 9000 series
• 5:11
  chipset that you're gonna find in your Galaxy
• 5:14
  Tab s 11 ultra or Galaxy Tab s 12 ultra So this
• 5:19
  is like a lower tier flagship cpu but it's essentially
• 5:23
  two years old right but you should be able to
• 5:25
  do most everything you need to do with this chipset
• 5:29
  now the standard storage that is available in
• 5:34
  this tablet is eight gigs of ram and 128 gigs
• 5:38
  of storage now we all know you really can't do
• 5:42
  a lot on eight gigs of ram and or 128 gigs of
• 5:46
  storage thankfully the people at amazon had a
• 5:51
  revelation and thought you know what let's sell
• 5:54
  some some more storage variants why don't we
• 5:56
  thank god because it actually gives us an option
• 6:00
  to really buy this thing now you're not going
• 6:03
  to see like a one terabyte model here it does
• 6:06
  go up to 256 gigs which is not saying a lot but
• 6:10
  what is saying a lot is the ram so they actually
• 6:14
  have a maxed out storage variance of 16 gigs
• 6:19
  of ram and 256 gigs of storage so at least you
• 6:24
  got the ram there to keep any and all apps you
• 6:26
  want available on this thing while it's running
• 6:29
  i don't know if it has ram expansion uh inside
• 6:33
  the operating system that's yet to be seen but
• 6:37
  it also sports an 8 megapixel front -facing selfie
• 6:40
  camera and one rear 13 megapixel sensor It does
• 6:46
  have a decent -sized battery, a 9 ,000 mAh battery,
• 6:50
  and they're claiming it's going to last up to
• 6:53
  16 hours on one full charge. Amazon is also selling
• 6:59
  a pen, a Pro Pen is what they call it, and a
• 7:03
  Pro Keyboard to go along with this Pro tablet.
• 7:07
  Now, the Tablet 12 Pro starts at $499, so essentially
• 7:13
  $500 for the standard version. And with the nano
• 7:17
  matte coating on the display is $50 more on top.
• 7:22
  Now the top tier 256 gig plus 16 gigs of RAM
• 7:26
  variant with the anti glare screen is going to
• 7:31
  set you back $679. The pro keyboard 150 bucks
• 7:37
  and the pro pin is 90 bucks. Now, the one key
• 7:43
  spec that I was looking for that it does not
• 7:46
  have is an OLED display. So it appears this is
• 7:50
  going to have an IPS display, which, look, I
• 7:54
  mean, for me, it's a deal breaker. But IPS displays
• 8:00
  have gotten much better in recent memory, in
• 8:04
  recent past. But it's still not quite that. real
• 8:08
  vibrant color uh deep black look that you get
• 8:12
  with these amoled displays but i think for general
• 8:16
  people for general purpose if you're not a tech
• 8:19
  snob like i am i think you'll be fine with this
• 8:22
  all of the tablets that we described here in
• 8:25
  detail are up for pre -order on amazon's website
• 8:29
  and or application and they will ship starting
• 8:32
  october the 14th another key spec and or piece
• 8:38
  of information that i was looking for that i
• 8:40
  could not find was update information and that's
• 8:43
  one thing that i specifically look for on each
• 8:46
  and every device that piques my interest i always
• 8:49
  look to see what's the update schedule are they
• 8:51
  gonna push monthly updates and how many software
• 8:55
  updates are these gonna get that information
• 8:58
  was nowhere to be found so buyer beware because
• 9:01
  security is at a all -time high priority at this
• 9:05
  point at least for me it is like i'm not going
• 9:08
  to be using any device that does not get updated
• 9:10
  monthly Sorry, that's just me. Now, stay tuned
