    “Compete with iPad” term is being used loosely here. It’s like I play tennis and I compete with Nadal. Lack of software, platform fragmentation, come to mind to name a few. I’m glad they are there hough, otherwise Apple will be sued for monopoly. That’s the good I can think about Android platform as a whole.

      Why are you talking about platform fragmentation on a PIXEL device. The iPhones of android… Not to mention “lack of software” what do you mean by that? You’re REALLY reaching for reasons to hate on the opposing platform it seems.

      Also, a few is generally 3 or more. You named two vague gripes you had without even actually calling them gripes/cons or whatever. If it’s not for you that’s fine but just say that and don’t pretend to be well-versed in consumer electronics.

    Finally…been wait for one like forever. Cannot deal with Sammy’s bloatware. I don’t need/want duplicate of Google apps that I will NEVER USE. Wake up Sammy!

      That’s the main reason I don’t get Samsung Phones. The extra bloat ware is awful

    Face it, this is nothing more than a $500 Nest Hub display as it’s embarrassing to even call this a tablet, especially after using an iPad. ????????

    Amazon needs to copy this format for an Echo show.

    Not enough to pull me away from iPad. Google Play doesn’t even have a fraction of the amount of tablet fully optimized apps as iPad. And it’s 2023. Google should have done this over 10 years ago.

    What did you use for a stand? When it’s not docked how will you make it stand?

    • severgun

      May 10, 2023 at 6:40 pm

      case with stand

  9. severgun

    It’s an extremely clever idea honestly, good on Google for doing something different and making a tablet with multiple functions

    My question is a make or break buy for me. Does it have nest home monitoring on it when it’s docked like how the hub max has it? I haven’t seen any reports on it yet

  23. Chongchi Zhang

    May 10, 2023 at 8:55 pm

    What’s the screen refresh rate?

  24. Edis Delgado

    May 10, 2023 at 9:17 pm

    I will describe it as a tablet that’s also a Home hub not the other way around

    The G2 chip is exactly what’s on the pixel phones not similar….

More than 90 percent of American-caught fish is processed overseas, and often in China, before it comes back to the U.S. Shin K wants to change that with robotics, computer vision, and a vertically integrated supply chain built from scratch.

They cover everything from the Japanese fish-killing technique that became a startup thesis, why American fish is now being imported into Japanese fish markets for the first time ever, and how Founders Fund thinks about contrarian bets in food and agriculture.
