Even with a cheaper price tag, the Nest Hub Max is going to be a hard sell now that the dockable Pixel tablet is available. Here's our review.

Android has matured enough to make the Pixel Tablet good for work and play, while integration with the charging dock is more or less seamless.

Google Pixel Tablet 2023 is an excellent Android tablet and has potential as a Google Hub

The Pixel Tablet is a really interesting reimagining of what Google sees a tablet as being. But as the wannabe hub of your home, while still offering great battery life when used handheld for content consumption, it's hard to see who this new slate is really aimed at – especially at this price...

Chromecast built-in for easy content sharing, Decent battery life when off the dock, Dock included for home hub-like use

Dock inclusion makes it more home hub than straight-up tablet, Android OS on tablets still not the best, Screen only has 60Hz refresh rate

The Google Pixel Tablet delivers great value for a home tablet that doubles as a smart display, but it could have been so much more (and it could still be). It’s not the most premium slate for the price, and it’s smaller than you’d expect, but it delivers in some impactful ways, including great...

Great value for a tablet and speaker dock combo, Home screen controls are useful and improving, Excellent sound for immersive audio

Android still seems a phone OS shoehorned into a tablet, Soft-touch back picks up dirt and fingerprints, Smaller than the ‘11-inch’ marketing makes it seem

The Pixel Tablet is an Android tablet with a trick up its sleeve, making it a worthwhile alternative to the class leaders Sharp and natural picture Impressive built-in speakers Dock included in the box Poor dark detail Colours could be bolder Performance with headphones is underwhelming

Google's return to tablets gives greater optimisation and a unique focus on smart home integration. It's a little on the expensive side - no doubt thanks to the bundled dock - but for Android fans, there's appeal in this pure Android Pixel Tablet.

Nice design and build, High resolution display, Bundled Charging Speaker Dock sounds good

It's expensive, Hub Mode is a bit lacklustre, App ecosystem can't challenge iPad

The Pixel Tablet is a fascinating experiment from Google at trying to figure out what people do with tablets in the home and make better use of them for the 80% of the time they are usually just left on a coffee table.

Pros: two-in-one tablet and smart display, dock included in the box, great screen, good speakers, solid battery life, decent performance, multiple user accounts, recycled material, good video call camera.

Cons: expensive, Android experience still a work in progress for tablets, not as good as an iPad for apps, screen only 60Hz.

A smart display you can carry around the home

New tablet UI and optimise apps much better than older efforts, Bright and colourful screen well suited to streaming video, 2-in-1 approach makes it great choice for families

Dock is dumb once you take off the tablet, App ecosystem still behind Apple

A revolution in the tablet markt? With the Pixel Tablet, Google offers an exciting alternative to the Apple iPad 10 or Galaxy Tab S9. The 10.95-inch Pixel tab is not only a classic tablet, but, together with its docking station, it is also a smart home hub or a smart speaker with an XXL display, á...

long battery life, interesting form of usage (together with the dock), good build quality, solid chipset (for this price category) without throttling, a fast USB port ...

.. without display output, no 5G option, only a 60 Hz panel, thick bezels

Google isn't trying to reinvent the wheel here with the Pixel Tablet. Instead, it's trying to include a number of features that make this tablet a whole lot cooler. Like Chromecast Built-In, and the included speaker dock that turns it into a smart display.

Included speaker dock sounds incredible, The smoothest Android software on any tablet, Pulls double duty as a smart display with Chromecast, Great performance, Plenty of storage

No keyboard accessory available, Lack of Tablet-optimized apps
