The Pixel Tablet comes bundled with a Charging Speaker Dock that sells for $129 separately. During a Q&A session today, the Pixel Tablet team had more to say about it, with some of the responses raising eyebrows.
On the Pixel Tablet, the Google Messages app is installed by default. It’s the same APK as on phones, but launching takes you to the PWA version found on messages.google.com/web with a QR code to scan using your phone. The company told us that this is the intended experience on the Pixel Tablet (and other Wi-Fi tablets).
The Pixel Tablet launched this week to mixed reception, in part because Google’s tablet lacks any first-party productivity accessories. But new evidence suggests that Google is working to launch “Pen” and “Keyboard” accessories for the Pixel Tablet.
As the Pixel Tablet has started hitting doorsteps, some interesting behavior has been thrust into the public eye. For many Android apps, the Pixel Tablet, and also the upcoming Pixel Fold, force the app into a restricted, smaller window rather than stretching it out for the entire display. If you ask me, though, that’s for the best.
When the Pixel Tablet isn’t being used as a tablet, it can be connected to a speaker dock that essentially turns it into a Nest Hub. Rather than buying a second Pixel Tablet dock to set it up with Hub Mode in multiple places, you can use a standard charger. Here’s how.
This week on Alphabet Scoop, we review the Pixel Tablet. It’s been a long time coming and Google made a good Android tablet at the end of the day with a unique Nest Hub add-on that will give you meaningfully more functionality.
I’d like to believe that Google’s modern hardware division could have released a tablet primarily for content consumption – like the Nexus 7 – at any time since its inception in 2016 but just chose not to. Made by Google’s high-level MO is to add unique aspects to its products. On the Pixel Slate, that was deemed to be productivity, and it did not work. In trying again with the Pixel Tablet, Google clearly still believes it needs something unique, and that’s how we have a Nest Hub Smart Display UI sitting – literally – on top of Android.
The Pixel Tablet is set to arrive later this month, but ahead of that launch, a new Google “Dreams” app briefly appeared in the Play Store, carrying the tablet’s collection of screen savers – including the Weather Frog.
We reported in mid-April that the Pixel Tablet was coming in four colors. Google only announced three at I/O 2023, and here’s the Pixel Tablet in its fourth hue: black.
The Google Pixel Tablet is set to launch in June, and based on its Google I/O unveiling and everything we’ve seen so far, it seems like a compelling product. But the Pixel Tablet’s biggest strength also leaves it without some expected first-party accessories. This tablet ignores productivity users, but that might be a great decision on Google’s part.
The Google Pixel Tablet isn’t a typical slate, with a focus on being helpful in the home. That includes integration with your smart home and Google Nest devices. Here’s what it looks like when the Pixel Tablet shows notifications from the Google Nest Doorbell.
Besides the Charging Speaker Dock, Google’s only other first-party accessory for the Pixel Tablet is a “Case” that’s more solid and versatile than you’d expect.
With the new Pixel Tablet announced in full, users who pre-order the device will want to pair it up with a case. The tricky thing is that the nature of the Pixel Tablet requires a well-designed case made with its special docking feature in mind.
Ahead of Google I/O 2023, we went hands-on with the Pixel Fold and Tablet. Both are first-generation products, but one — surprisingly — ends up feeling less so than the other.
Announced last May and previewed again that fall, Google at I/O 2023 today fully detailed the Pixel Tablet. This is Google’s latest attempt in the form factor following the Nexus 7(2012 + 2013), 10, 9, Pixel C, and Slate, but the differentiating aspect this time around is how the Pixel Tablet can double as an Assistant Smart Display.
We’ve known about the Pixel Tablet for almost a year, and today Google is showing off the device in full alongside its new Pixel smartphones. At the last minute, a new leaked Pixel Tablet promo video is showing off some of the features Google has in store.
According to an early Amazon listing that has since been removed, the Pixel Tablet will be released on June 20 in Japan, while other key specs have also now emerged thanks to this leak.
Last month, the Pixel Tablet finally appeared in real images that suggested a coral hue, but a new official image/render reveals that it’s more pink in color.
As Google I/O quickly approaches, this past week has seen an absolute flood of Pixel leaks for the Pixel 7a, Pixel Fold, and the Pixel Tablet. Here’s everything you might have missed.
The Google Pixel Tablet has leaked quite a bit this week, including some hints at its price. Based on what we know right now, though, how much would you actually pay for the Pixel Tablet?
