Google’s first tablet in many years doesn’t try to reinvent what tablets are good for. Instead, it leans into being a good media consumption device and can be a useful smart display when you’re not holding it.

Nice screen, Good audio, Responsive performance, Speaker dock is both clever and useful

A lot of Android apps still struggle with big screens, No headphone jack, Below average battery life, Aspect ratio works better for watching video than reading

The ongoing quest for the perfect balance between productivity and entertainment has led to the emergence of an array of versatile devices. Key among these for 2023, the Google Pixel Tablet has taken the spotlight, promising a seamless fusion of work and play within a single, elegantly designed...

Is it a smart display? Is it a tablet? Yes. Sort of....

Unique Nest Hub-like dock, Decent battery life and reliable charging, Good audio on and off the dock, Pixel-exclusive software features, Long-term update policy

Lacks several key Nest Hub features when docked, Sluggish 60Hz display, Tensor G2 gets hot, Low-res cameras and limited video options, Exorbitant price for additional docks that do nothing on their own

Rear-facing camera, volume rocker, and fingerprint sensor/power button.

No need to sugarcoat it, the history of Android tablets is rough. There are some exceptions. Samsung, for one, has managed to carve out a decent market for itself in the space, courtesy of nice hardware and heavy Android customization. The Galaxy maker has secured a consistent No.

Overall, the Pixel Tablet is a great Android tablet from Google but it remains to be seen how long the company’s support for tablets will last.

Display looks great, Quick performance from the Tensor G2, Battery lasts all-day, Loud built-in speakers, Hub Mode works well, Long software update policy

Ok cameras, Charging Speaker Dock issues, Not many tablet-specific apps

The Google Pixel Tablet is a perfectly serviceable slab with one standout feature that turns it into a communal hub device. There’s plenty to like here, but odd pricing and some strange decisions stop it from being truly great.

Sharp screen, Dock is a handy charging accessory and a unique feature, Far more affordable in the US, Pixel UI works well on a tablet, You’re after a communal tablet for home use: Attach the Pixel Tablet to the included dock and it turns into a digital photo frame, a smart home hub and a speaker.

Dull design, The speaker dock doesn’t sound great, Screen only 60Hz, Price is far too high in the UK, Doesn’t have all the Nest Hub software features, You want a laptop replacement: Unlike some tablets from Apple, Samsung and even OnePlus, this isn’t really a productivity tablet.

“The Google Pixel Tablet is a novel idea that misses the mark. With poor hardware choices, limiting specs, and a fairly high price, it's a rough entry in the Pixel family.”

Comfortable to hold, Fingerprint sensor, Speaker dock sounds great

Poorly designed charging dock, Basic, 60Hz display, Terrible speaker placement, Poor battery life, Extremely buggy software, Limited first-party accessories

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features

Design too familiar, Some average features

Top-notch cameras, Amazing display, Snappy performance, Great battery life

It's just "this year's iPhone"
