Amazon has unveiled a new lineup of Alexa tablets, featuring access to the Google Play Store. The lineup includes three models: Amazon Alexa Tablet 12 Pro, Amazon Alexa Tablet 11, and Amazon Alexa Tablet 8. These tablets will have full access to Google Play, allowing users to download and install apps from the store.
The new Alexa tablets are set to go on sale on October 14, 2026. Amazon's decision to provide access to Google Play on its new tablets marks a significant change from its previous approach, which limited users to the Amazon Appstore.
The company's move is expected to expand the range of apps available to users of its tablets. The new tablets will provide users with a wider selection of apps to choose from, thanks to Google Play's extensive library.
