Got it on launch day. It really is better than the sum of its parts. Nothing excels in it, but its amazingly functional design means I use it more than I expected for a kitchen tablet/photo display. As a kitchen tablet, it absolutely must be paired with the case that has a great stand so it can be propped anywhere to watch/read while you cook, fold laundry or eat breakfast. However, the case nerfs the fingerprint reader since it obstructs the sensor too much. Totally agree with the screen brightness bug; like so many things made by google, it feels like an ignored step child already.
@hiranchbuff9 ай бұрын
"It really is better than the sum of its parts". I think that statement nails it. It's a good tablet and a decent hub that together makes it a very good product. If you have a Pixel phone (like me) it's a natural extension. I'm not a gamer, so for me the performance is very good for what I do.

If you're considering purchasing the Pixel Tablet, I highly recommend it! The tablet is fantastic and the software experience is incredibly smooth. I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase and use it at work to watch movies while I work. When I'm home, I simply place it on the speaker dock. It's also docked on my nightstand, so I can consume more media content before going to bed.

Cool review. It’s really too bad they haven’t added the doorbell feature. That would prevent me from replacing my nest hubs with this, and the fact that I really just want Apple to steal this concept. Hopefully they’ll get close with standby mode next year.
@extra45428 ай бұрын
Big miss for the software not having ALL the nest hub features especially at a much higher price tag. This alone means it’s not automatically a better nest hub alternative. Also the fact that you can’t use it as a home hub when it’s not docked
@BananaBlooD95178 ай бұрын
There should be an option to switch between the two modes and it should have all the features of a nest hub. Let's hope they do a second generation that will be much better.
@geneanthony34212 ай бұрын
I was interested in the Pixel because I want a pure Android tablet, but it seems very odd that it doesn't get updates quick. One major perk I discovered with my Apple devices is that updates are released very fast. I figured that vendors needed to play with the software to get it working on their devices, but Pixel would get first class support for updates. Odd it doesn't.
@ShellymanStudios9 ай бұрын
I'd pass, this tablet doesn't look future-proof at all. Plus, its having a 60Hz and LCD display is a big turn-off for me.
@FlyingCsongor8 ай бұрын
Its screen was meant to be always on because of the hub feature. You do not want an OLED screen for that, just think about the burn-in issues. And 60 Hz is still a standard on most low and mid range TVs, displays, if you are not a framerate fanatic, I don't think it's a deal breaker.
@BananaBlooD95178 ай бұрын
@@FlyingCsongor If it's like the nest hub than you can close the screen when away and the pictures should change every minute or so. It shouldn't be an issue with modern OLED display. Goggle could eventually make 2 or 3 models of the table with one having a better screen & 120Hz display.

I love my Pixel Tablet! The problem is I bought it on credit. So, in my mind, the price was relatively unimportant. However, being that I couldn't afford one outright, and given how much I use it (or have to encourage myself to use it), it's definitely not worth it for someone who hasn't already bought into the Google ecosystem.

My newly bought Pixel Tablet is average in every area at best, in comparison to other Tablets I've owned, Lenovo , Samsung, or iPad. First; when docked on the charger, the audio doesn't become surround sound. The display is okay, except in bright daylight, or sunshine, when the display is practically unreadable! The worst aspect for myself, is the fact that my Pixel 8a phone, will not connect directly ,or via Bluetooth to my Pixel Tablet , to play music for example! I am not pleased with the Pixel Tablet. The charging dock, is absolutely useless when not used for charging!

Anything that GOOGLE does is violence itself, in the "interest" of users. When I started working with this machine, it was still quite fast, the many "updates" (W-10) have now slowed it down to Pentium 1, after the update everything is a little worse, and the violent personalization is getting bigger and bigger, I have no problem with personalization , if I can choose the old one, but they force me to do so. I'm thinking of giving up the internet and uploading an old W-2000 so the Jews don't destroy my nervous system.
