It looks nice…. in a vacuum. But, for $500, there are several other options out there with even better specs.
The A15 chipset in the Apple iPad Mini 6 blows this thing away. And, it can be found for $100 cheaper, as well…

Looks good. Let’s hope for some discounts on this Tablet+Dock at the end of the year near the Holidays.

I really wanted this to be essentially a Hub Max that I could take on the go when needed, but it isn’t that, so I’m not keeping it. You can’t add it to Chromecast speaker groups in Google Home, you don’t have the option to set a different speaker to play audio you call up through the Pixel Tablet the way you can with Nest displays and speakers, it doesn’t support Continued Conversation, and you can’t use the camera as an additional monitoring cam like with the Hub Max. And I don’t have any faith that google will ever add any of these features. If none of those things matter to you and you just want an Android tablet you can dock, then you’d probably be happy with this. Otherwise it’s not worth the price.

Do you know if you can play Fortnite on it? I am looking for a tablet that can play that game.

£600 in the UK which makes it look incredibly overpriced for such a basic tablet. A new tablet is exactly what I want but I’d really like the streaming services to do so at 4K, you’re not going to get that for your £600 here.

Im sitting here with the nexus 7. But that would be nifty to try out…

For the same price in the UK, you can buy a 64GB wifi/5G iPad Air M1 with much longer support and superior performance. Add in that the Air will have better accessories (keyboard and pencil), and similar battery life but a better display, making the Pixel Tablet a hard buy at its current pricing. I suppose it is how much the dock adds value, but its inability as a stand-alone Bluetooth device means I lost interest quickly.

Does it have pass through charging when docked? So it stops charging the battery when it’s 90% and just powers the tablet and bypasses the battery? Like some Asus phones have. Thanks

600 quid in the UK makes this a huge fail. By the time you have got a case and maybe a second dock this is silly money. Could have been a great device.

The finicky nature of this thing, the price, and the fact that it seems to be a hub first, then a tablet makes this a pass for me. It’s hard to trust Google since Stadia, too.

From everything I’ve seen that dock is just a pain that isn’t necessary, cool idea u guess but still could have been better, great video!

Totally different product category. Those a desktop style devices. $500 is a reasonable price imo

I think Apple will start doing multi device support once iPads start at 128GB unfortunately
i used adblock to watch this

Stupid. No one’s going to remember to put that back on its mount. Buy a separate smart speaker if you plan on doing it. It’s a good idea but nobody’s going to follow up with it after the first week or so.

They should have done this:
300$ – Pixel Tab. The same specs in the review unit.
400$ – Pixel Tab+. A tablet with a 14″ display, 12GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD.
500$ – Pixel Tab Ultra. A tablet with a 17″ OLED display, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD.
We know Alphabet can afford it.

You’re asking for way too much for way too little, highly unrealistic. In what world do you expect to see those screen sizes and specs for the prices you listed

This is a tablet not a laptop. So do not hope. Go buy yourself a laptop.

No OLED?

June 21, 2023 at 3:30 pm
Why would you expect an OLED tablet at this price point? Even iPad doesn’t have OLED. it’s also meant to be a huge display that’s always on, high burn-in risk with OLED

Android has become booring Android big screen platforms if they want to succeed genuinely they have to provide proper desktop class experience in ui and apps
They have to convince developers to make a desktop class app for Android laptops/tablets to get that desktop class ui and functionality and desktop class nuances for Android laptops/tablets also need to convince developers to port desktop games for Android tablets to stay in long run because just relying on Google to this won’t suffice because Google with all the resources couldn’t make Android desktop class as of now and even couldn’t make chrome os desktop class functionality and performance as of now so
They really have to work on the os experience and app developers to make a well performing polished desktop class apps and games for Android
I hope they will do it in future
Others wise these handheld big screen tablets will be used at stores shops and malls counter for billing calculator other wise no use of that latest soc and big screen
