Google Pixel Tablet 1 year later: Google's most UNDERRATED product.

Google makes some tremendous products in both hardware and software, but the Pixel line's phones majorly overshadow this fantastic device. The Google Pixel Tablet is 1 year old and is the most underrated piece of hardware released by Google in a long time.

I love that your bar is as low as 'i haven't hard to force restart it due to crashes'

Not sure why everyone keeps saying it's "overpriced" - sans the dock it's only $400, like the Nexus 10 from a decade ago. Having the dock and a magnetic case + stylus for travel, it's very versatile and Android 15 is making the software more useful also.

Overpriced?yes. Do I use it almost every day? Yes! Have I bought a more expensive tablet in the past and never used it because it was never plugged in so I avoided it like the plague? Yes. So was the pixel tablet price worth it? Yes.

I got it with the trade-in deals like many others did. It’s a solid mid-range tablet. The display is sharp with higher PPI count than many others. The round corners are very comfortable to hold. Since it’s meant to be held in landscape, I mainly use it for entertainment and media consumption. Would not pay full MSRP for it though, only get this Pixel Tablet on discounted price.

I picked one up on eBay used in box, with dock for £225. For that price I'm over the moon with it. I use it daily for media consumption, checking emails and web browsing on a bigger screen and a bit of casual gaming. It ticks all my boxes, battery life has been fine and when not in use it's on its dock so I cap the battery to 80% for longevity.

It's no powerhouse or work tool, but I can see it being in my household for a long time to come getting regular use.

The most underrated overpriced product

Got it for basically free for trading in my old ipad 6gen. I really enjoy this at my kitchen counter

I love my pixel tablet! I haven't used it as much since. I now have the pixel fold. But when I do use it, it does everything I need to do. And I love the fact that it's probably the best clock I've had beside my bed ever.

5:02 most random Stretford Paddock sighting ever lol

I just got a Lenovo Tab M11, which I'm using for media consumption & work in Docs, Drive, Gmail, plus Stirling PDF along w/ their native stylus + a folding BT keyboard.

Fun seeing Jay & Joe on the Paddock in the background. I really like United People's TV. And looking forward to seeing Amorim's impact on the club.

As a person who uses tablets every single day, the only reason I didn't buy this tablet is because it doesn't have an oled screen.

I am looking to replace my aging Galaxy Tab S7+ with a Pixel Tablet.

I just need a highly secure and production quality tablet that gets the basics done and the Pixel Tablet meets all of that. Though I may wait when they release a 2nd gen Tablet with MTE.

How does the Pixel Tablet run Winlator?

The tablet just looks dated, it look something from 2016-2017. I think the tablet would be worth it if Google waited just a few months, launch with the Tensor G3.

One of the better pixel tablet videos on YouTube. Thank you 🫡

Shame they are discontinuing tablets, i am a google user but frustrated at lack of tech coming through, i wanted them to develop it to rival the ipad as i dont like ios, i'm still using Samsung products as i still think they are superior to google products but very close to purchasing the pixel pro, i just wish they'd go all out to develop all the devices as people are crying out for them to rival the big boys in their tech, a bigger investment in these areas could pay massive dividends for Google.

Now IF I wanted to critique Google's failures with this device, I would write the following. First, it's a brilliant idea, it was executed with some common sense and logic. Unfortunately, Google just doesn't seem to have either of those things, and continues to do some super head-scratching things with it's devices. WHY, oh why would they not have just used the MUCH BETTER base of the Max Hub base and speakers??? That is such a no-brainer. ESPECIALLY for a product that's TWICE THE PRICE of the Hub Max that they market this from! And since they already have those bases of the Nest Hub Max in productivity, why not just put the magnetic hook up on those as a price saving method, with NOT having to manufacture a whole different product line??? Google sometimes acts like the most shortsighted tech company on the planet. And since the speaker base has its own power supply, why not replace the ANTIQUATED barrel connector with the more modern and common USB C, so it could work for both the base and tablet??? FURTHERMORE, why not make it a stand alone smart speaker when the tablet isn't connected, so we have even more feature choices??? Lastly, it's another no brainer that there should be a FACE UNLOCK with the front facing camera, so that it recognizes you like the Hub Max does, unlocks itself and gives you all your relevant information as soon as it see's you. Or, for example, if you are cooking with greasy hands, it can unlock and be controlled by voice to give you whatever you need HANDS FREE!!! These are just common sense ideas, that somehow eluded this cutting edge tech company. Lol.
My entire purpose for getting this, was to have a better Smart Home Hub Max, that can do MUCH MORE with the tablet features. And for the most part I got exactly that. I also found an open box deal on eBay, where I purchased the 256gb version for less than $300, including the Speaker dock. Therefore, I've come out well ahead. Sure. But Google's insane misses on soooo many common sense feature transitions with some of these products just drives me crazy, especially with those updates being so logical and easy to see. But the tablet itself is very good, and with a few tweaks Google could make it into something really GREAT.

uses the Pixel Tablet: "for timers, recipes, streaming music & podcasts, and as a clock"

Literally no better than the smartphone most of us already own.
