Glad it was helpful!

I love mine bought it replace my nest hub mini and I think it's an excellent product I love it I love being able to just take it off the dock whenever I need to grab it and go throughout my house with it and then when I come back in my room and I just want to chill I can just sit there and cast things to it from my phone and have it on the speaker dock I was watching the new secret invasion series on Disney Plus with it last night and knowing that you can just set it and forget it and not really have to worry about Oh my tablet's not charged because you displaced it on your bedside table and forgot about it for a day or two having it on the dock you always have it ready to grab whenever you really need it.

I just ordered one of these I'd love to see a native pen and keyboard. More and more of us are working full time from home so moving from my Mac in my home office to the stand in the living room and additional stand in my master bedroom with a keyboard/touch pad combo would be epic. The lack of lte doesn't bother me at all. A tablet that allows me to check my outdoor Google nest cameras, doorbell and nest thermostats use as a tablet with my pixel buds + the potential to use a keyboard/touch pad + pencil makes it a unique product. Come on Google surely they can see the benefit of that with built in smart home features gives it the edge. There isn't even a decent third party keyboard for this yet :-/ also make desktop mode available!!!!

Nice video keep up the good work Tech Odyssey

Thank you

Its 499 for the tablet AND the dock. The dock is 100 by itself so the tablet is just 399. Id take 399 from Google over oneplus or huawei or lenovo

Can't wait to get one, so happy Google is making tablets again!

Awesome video I use Duet 5 as my android tablet/ chrome os device i have been wondering about use case for pixel tablet especially with the stand

Love the dock with a speaker.

Own the pixel tablet for several days now. I like how you can sync message app from your phone. When home, I don't use my smart phone anymore, just have it in wireless charger stand

Great content. This is 2023. What's with the lcd panel? Or the 60hrtz refresh rate? Google should have come out of the gate throwing upper cuts instead of little jabs.

The LCD panel makes sense, since the device has an always on display for the home hub mode, an OLED would likely get screen burn in over time, I agree on the 60hz though I would have liked 90hz minimum.

Considering the front camera is on top in landscape mode, how is video calling while in portrait mode? Does the camera re orient itself or will I apear sideways?

No modem on Tensor means no shitty Samsung modem that drains battery and causes heat issues. I love wifi only tablets, one less transmitter and receiver draining battery.

Your speaker comparison between the dock and tablet, was that real? The tablet looked like it was sitting on your counter because on the dock there is a gap then you turned the volume up on the tablet. Was that a real comparison?

Very nice video

Watching on my pixel tablet right now

I have google hub max i purchased in 2019 & have considered upgrading to this new pixel tablet but after seeing this review a i am having doubts based on speaker quality. Do you have the hub max and if so have you compared speaker quality? The audio sounded kind of tinny and not full on the tablet dock. Also i am pretty sure you can buy another speaker dock separately off the google store

I’ve heard that the speakers aren’t equal or better than the Max

I bought mine and I decided to go with the 256 GB version because I decided I’m going to take mine on the go with me every day since I work out of my vehicle. I download a lot of music and movies. So far I love it!

Pro tip for finger print reader. Can just press pointing forward ☝️ instead of horizontal to unlock. Find it much easier

I would lay outside of my swing which is covered so it's shaded and watch a movie in the summer. I wonder if it would heat up?

No LTE isn't a deal breaker. That void can be filled with using the hotspot on my phone. 👍

How is the battery life I'm saying this because I gave my mom the tab s8 2 months ago and thinking on buying the tab s8 or Google tablet

We get told dont keep putting your phone on charge needlessly as it can harm the battery. Surely this product is going to be regularly put on charge? So what about the impact on the battery I wonder? Also the design means no protective case doesnt it?

So are the speakers worse or better than the nest max hub? because i thought it was going to have better speakers than the max hub...

I'm not familiar with the nest max hub. I can't comment.

Pretty much every reviewer raves about this tablet because of the docking speaker, which basically makes this tablet primarily a Google hub with a giant screen. This is fine, but only if you are tied into the Google ecosystem already or maybe plan on it. Otherwise it makes too many compromises as far as for using as a tablet to justify the nearly $500 price tag. As always, love your review style and honesty

i want to buy it

I know this sounds like a simple problem, but if someone can help me solve it, I would appreciate it. I have a Google Pixel 6 Pro and this tablet. Everything is synched, but when I dismiss notifications on the phone, they are still on the tablet and I have to dismiss them there. Is this normal or is there a way for when I dismiss them on the phone, they will go away on the tablet too. Thank you.

Will wait till November and get on cheaper.

The $499 tablet that costs $708 this side of the Atlantic ☹️

Thanks for your honest review I was thinking of getting on but I’ll stick with my 2018 I pad pro 🤣😎👏🇮🇪

I think Google made the right choice using the LCD panel. Had they used outlet? Oh my God the burning this tablet is supposed to be on all the time, correct?

Since it doubles as a smart display LCD makes sense. I still wish it was 90hz

Do you think its better than the Oneplus Pad?

You don't need to have LTE to use it outside of the home... I never had LTE Tablet and I use them outside if needed. The link is automatic with the phone... When you need it, it turns your phone into a hotspot without even doing anything. Paying extra for LTE is useless, who leave the home without his phone ?

It's home is in the kitchen, my opine.

Tablets in general are very limited in terms of choices and brands and have become very boring. I miss the days of when there was so many choices of tablets and smartphones from so many brands. Nowadays the brands are very limited in terms of choices. It's like there are more choices of bluetooth headphones than there are smartphones and tablets combined. The choices and options have turned stale like expired milk. It's becoming too stagnant when its only samsung and apple being talked about the most and sometimes the pixel devices. If there was an option to custom built a tablet like a gaming pc, it would be more interesting and there were be plenty of choices and different varieties and different price points from entry level to high end. For example a gaming tablet with desktop pc parts like the Intel i9-13900k desktop cpu and a 4090 desktop gpu. There are gaming laptops but they are using mobile processors and mobile gpus not desktop components. The gaming laptops have barely improved in terms of battery life and with dissipation of heat. The only way to get decent battery life is by using less powerful hardware compared to there desktop counterparts. Plus you have to turn down the screen brightness to a decent level to get more than 2 hours of battery life and using power savings mode slows down the gaming performance. I wanna be able to overclock the gaming tablet and play native 4k with hdr and ray tracing on a gaming tablet without cloud streaming but native 4k from the internal storage using high performance user upgradeable ssds with very fast read and write speeds. The gaming tablet would be modular like the frame work laptops. It would expensive but they would be using standard components and every part would be user upgradeable even the display, motherboard, cpu and gpu etc.

Random question... Does anyone get a weird black line across the bottom of your Pixel 6 pro after using a cord to charge your phone? I even used multiple different blocks and cords to make sure. It doesn't stay forever and doesn't appear to show up during wireless charging but it's kind of concerning tbh 😅

Three words; Google Pixel Hotspot.

i love tablets. iPads are my go to and the only other to consider it Samsung in my opinion. and they have to be on their S series lineup. S7, S8, or soon S9. the others just dont do it for me on Android .

Honestly, I hate the pixel tablet. It looks like crap. :) thanks for sharing it, now we know. I’m looking for a tablet for my CTS. This is not the one. Need lte/5g and a better none glare screen since I have the moon roof:(

You can get a brand new tab s7 plus for less than that at this moment. Why would anyone buy this over that…ludicrous.
