The good and the bad of the Pixel Tablet
The Pixel Tablet packs plenty of power, thanks to the Google Tensor G2 chipset included. While some Android tablet makers use underpowered processors, Google has used its best platform – the same processor it designed for its best smartphone to date, the Pixel 7 Pro. Of course, it’s also the chipset in the affordable Pixel 7a mid-ranger, but Google is smart to make this platform in bulk.or draining the battery too quickly. That isn’t a concern on this tablet.
; if you can afford it. The Pixel Tablet looks very nice, and it can run 4K videos just fine. It just isn’t the best tablet display out there.That said, it’s probably one of the best smart home displays you’ll find, and when it sits on the included charging speaker dock, it looks fantastic showing off photos or offering smart home controls. Google sent me a Nest Indoor Camera as well, and I could see a live view of the action in a small window on the Google Home control screen, crisp and clear.
The speaker charging dock only works in landscape mode. The available Pixel Tablet Case also has a stand that allows for flexible landscape angles. The four speakers are all on the sides of the tablet, firing left and right, if you hold the tablet in landscape mode. Apps look worse on the tablet than on a phone, because many are simply stretched versions of their phone equivalents. There are few widgets made to take advantage of the big tablet screen, however, multi-window features are lacking and multi-tasking is not easy to navigate.I’m sad to say that none of these problems were improved by Google’s own entry into the tablet market. The Pixel Tablet not only ignores many of those issues, it actually makes some problems worse.
