Thank you for your review. Your perspective on this product is informative and appreciated.

I had a Pixel C (the first pixel tablet by google, based on pure android 7 then 8, back in 2015), and it was amazing for the time ! tegra x1 (same processor that the switch), great screen (2k ltps), a magnetic keyboard without any pins (only bluethooth). The only drawbacks were the lack of support (the gpu driver was nouveau driver, which were BAD, real bad) and google being google, so removing the widewine L1 support of the tablet. From what i understood at time, it was partially due to the jalibreak of the switch : the tablet was used to find ways of circumventing the security of the tegra x1 processor, and so it was not that secure after the release of the switch and the massive amount of tech to crack the console. Without that, i think I would be using it nowadays. It was such a great product.

being able to cast to the tablet is actually potentially really cool depending on a few particulars of how it's implemented. We don't have a fancy car with screens in the back, so ability to set this up as a display in the back and then put on a movie for the kids on long road trips without having to constantly be reaching back there to adjust the volume (and then unlock it after they've accidentally locked it instead of turning the volume up) or picking out a different movie when they're done: GOLD (Addendum: I realize this would require a wifi connection. For this we would either have a phone or mobile hotspot as the wifi connection as this is what we do now for streaming)

I'd be pretty keen to buy one of these, though the advice of waiting for the gen 2 is something I'll def be sticking to

I think the biggest thing is that the table's screen is made to be in landscape mode, instead of the portrait mode, which means tiny laptops and handheld laptops and handheld console-like PCs can use that screen instead of dealing with installing things in portrait mode and then rotating the screen to be in landscape mode in the OS.

Love how the time on the tablet stays correct to the video timeline

I had a Nexus 10 back in the day. I loved that thing, but ultimately wore out the flash chip from flashing custom ROMs so much. Believe it or not, Google DID have a very worthy successor to this, the Pixel C, which is what I have now. It's quite old, but still holds up damn well, rocking the same SOC that the Nintendo Switch would eventually use. Why then was the Pixel C a flop? Because they tried to take on the Surface Pro with it, which is a completely different product. It cannot compete. But as an Android tablet, it's amazing! And the keyboard was super innovative in its design, something I wish Google or anyone else would carry forward to newer tablets. Interestingly it attaches via strong magnets similar to how the new Pixel Tablet connects to its dock. (It also allows it to stick to a fridge or a car)

The biggest advantage to a home docking station/tablet from google is the ability to manage smart home devices and the ability to display google information from your phone to the docking station (i.e. calendars and reminders). Also to handoff information from the docking station to the phone when leaving the house (i.e. Google home what is the traffic like going to work) telling and showing you route and traffic info on the home dock then automatically sending that query to your google maps… on ANY phone that has google home and google maps downloaded, installed, and signed in to the SAME google account on the home docking display.

4:59 The perfectly synced drop, I'm sure that was taken in more than one take. How did no one else notice it yet?

It's a decent addition to a smart home, but I would love if it would have a flat wall mount variant.

Fun fact: The first gen google nexus 7 was also able to have multiple accounts on it with its own Home Screen, apps and everything! I had one and my sisters and I had our own accounts 7:17

Multi-user support is KEY! Thank you for covering that!

So the reason it's a google cast target is so you can add it to groups. I just figured this out. I have my Chomecast playing music on a "group" that includes my two stereos and a bluetooth speaker. I set the Pixel dock in the hallway to control everything and set it as a target, included it in the group, and now the hallway has "filler" music between the two stereos. Plus, I can hear what I'm casting. It works really well.

I was thinking about it during the video and you said it at the end, this would be really attractive if the speakers were better (on device and in dock), it had a 90 hz display, maybe OLED, and the full power of that tensor chip. ~$600? I am not a tablet user, I discovered that during my Nexus 7 days. But I think google can absolutely nail the mid-premium market by making this device just a bit nicer and feature rich. I do think a large portion of it is the app support, that was my gripe with early ipad, the big iphone apps looked horrible on ipad.

My Nexus 7 2013 model with Android 4.4 was amazing back in the day

3:20 Definitely a missed opportunity. Nobody likes barrel connectors, just make it type C

I'm really excited to get mine. I think Google safely played it smart here, entering the tablet market in a more cost-effective way while giving us something unique. Plus, the software looks pretty smooth for a mid-range device. I bought one because I want to support this in hopes of the line maturing into a Pro offering at some point in the future.

European price seems a little out of line imo.

​@@loansharks47 Yeah the price in Sweden is bonkers, not worth it at all unfortunately

6:05 He said it all with his expression 😎

I’m also happy the dock is included in the box, because otherwise you wouldn’t be able to charge that thing.

I really hope they will also make a higher end version of this, I think this could be really good and I'd probably seriously consinder buying it

But like he said most people would not buy it Most people have iPhones in the United States if this is outside the United States yes that's would definitely sell if it was a more higher inversion but like he says the target demographic is so small

And this is coming from an Android user It's just how the United States says if you look around every news station they all have Apple Base products every celebrity has Apple Base products Apple is a really good marketing company that's what they really are

At higher price points, you have the Samsung tabs which are really good. Don't think Google would be able to compete.

@@A_Well_Traveled_Man "Most people have iPhones in the United States" Is a completely false statement. At the most, apple is slightly above 50%. But even now I bet Android has moved up to the majority this year.

I actually would love to see more tablets in this category. I actually would love to see more tablets in this category.

I use a Galaxy Tab S7+ daily and it provides all the pixel features in OneUI and I think it is often overlooked, they're great tablets

I have the same device and agree, great tablet Just if you know, there's a way to show portrait apps when in landscape mode as in 9:52? It'll very useful that way instead of using all the screen and being barely usable (e.g. Twitter)

If they continue to develop it an continue in that direction, the Pixel tablet can be a success similar to Pixel phones.

Nice review! Google definitely going outside the box with this one. Haven’t looked it up yet but wonder if it’s has a thread border router built in with the emergence of Matter

Nice 👍

I really wish there was a video focused small tablet: 2:1 aspect ratio, 4K, bright color accurate OLED, front facing speaker, and thin bezels at least on the non-speaker sides.

I still have the 2012 NExus 7 that I preordered right when they announced it, using it as a stats display for my PC with Pitikapp

Hope it doesn't discontinue like Nexus tablet, good luck Google! Was waiting for this review! 🙌 Great video as always! 👍

Review for the new Amazon *AMZT66* would be good, pls bro

Scam

The speaker accessory reminds me of the OG HTC One and the optional bass module

Really hope that multi user thing makes it's way to mobile Android soon too because that's such a useful feature

If you have multiple people using it, like at home, does it unlock the person's account on fingerprint scan? Because that's pretty cool as like a home device for everyone.

It would be interesting to see how this actually works with home automation - which I think is where they're aiming this for.

This is the exact reason I bought if for my wife. She actually ran our " go to bed" routine last night without me having to. She has been slow to take to our automations and prefers locking the doors by hand rather than asking our assistant to do it so hopefully this helps.

that navigation bar is actually pretty cool, when i saw apple had it on ipads i was really rooting for android to have a similar one, and here we have it. i love that

I hope you get over this cold brodie
