Customer Ratings & Reviews

This tablet us extremely underrated. I love having a tablet with a full charge just on standby. It has a battery saver mode which protects the tablet battery from overcharging once it hits 85% That brilliant. Sound quality is great. This is my best friend in the mornings. Everything is there, the news, morning cartoons, you name it. Thanks Google for this. Please keep the updates coming.

First, let me note that this is my first Google Pixel Tablet. Since I haven’t had any previous versions of this device, I have nothing to compare against. Included with the Pixel Tablet was a USB-C to USB-C cable, and a very large instruction/setup manual. You know how nowadays paper manuals e included with your purchases are painfully small. They’re so small, in fact, that you need a magnifying glass or an atomic microscope to read the small print. Well, the instruction/setup manual that comes with this tablet is enormous. It is 17 inches by 11 inches and consists of 30+ pages of instructions/pictures. I laughed myself silly when I saw it because it is such a departure from what I normally see. I give Google a very big “Nicely done, Google” shout out for the manual alone. As a long-time Android user, I had few issues, if any, going through the setup process to for this tablet. They made it so easy. It is even easier if you have an existing Android device to copy from. I have a Samsung S24U phone, so I plugged one end of the included USB-C cable into my phone and the other end into the USB-C port on the tablet. The setup process located the apps installed on the phone, then installed those apps on the tablet. It was a very transparent process. I didn’t count the number of apps that were transferred to the Tablet, but I did find afterwards that a handful of apps, including an important banking app (from a major bank), didn’t transfer. I wasn’t concerned when I realized this because I figured it would be easily remedied by going to Google Play and manually installing them. Except, I couldn’t locate them on Google Play. I did some online research and found some support calls to Google for that same banking app. Then as in now, apparently the banking app is not compatible with the Pixel Tablet. I don’t know what the problems are with the banking app (and others), but at least I was able to resolve the banking app by using the Chrome browser. Clearly this won’t work for all apps if the supplier of the Android app doesn’t have a comparably featured browser app. If the vendor does have a comparable browser version, then do this: • Use Chrome to connect to the app’s web page • On the right side of the screen is the 3-dot menu. Select the menu • Scroll down and select “Add to the Home Screen.” In selecting this option, it’ll give you a chance to edit the web site name. For example, if the real web page name is “This is the best shopping site”, you could rename it to be Shopping Site”, if you wanted. • Doing this will place a Chrome link on your phone or tablet using the name you assigned. These Chrome links can even be moved inside of folders. A notation in the manual talks about the setup process performing an OS upgrade to version TQ3A.230605.009.A1. While an OS upgrade did take place, I couldn’t confirm that it brought the tablet up to the desired version as they recommended. The setup process also gives you the opportunity to add up to five (5) fingerprints and a numeric Pin. After the setup process was completed, everything was configured and ready to go. I did have to configure my 3rd-party password manager, but since the app was automatically transferred to the tablet all I had to do was enter the 3rd-party app’s credentials. Ignoring the app issue, I really do like this tablet. The screen is very responsive, and the power button/fingerprint scanner has thus far worked perfectly. I was momentarily disappointed to find out that the speaker/dock did not come included with the tablet, but I’ve concluded that I don’t really need it. From a touchy-feely perspective, the tablet feels good in my hands. I do wish that the Power Button and Volume controls were located on the sides instead. The location of the USB-C slot works perfectly fine for me. I have ordered a Google Pixel Tablet case as I’m concerned that even a short drop might result in damage. The manual does provide instructions on how to perform certain tasks, like running two apps on the screen at the same time. This is one feature I use all the time. And the manual gives a brief tutorial on how to group your browser tabs together and other nice to know features. In summary: • I like the screen’s clarity (aside from it being a fingerprint magnet) • I like the manual that comes with the tablet • I like the tablet’s performance • I mostly like its size (it can be a bit clumsy to hold) • I like the initial setup process • I like how easily it fits into the android ecosystem • I find the built-in speakers to be more than adequate for my needs • I like its battery life • I don’t prefer the location of the power button and volume controls This tablet has been a nice addition to the household. Since receiving it, I’ve been bouncing back and forth on how to properly rate it. It might have been a 5-star product for me if it had come with a dock since I’m betting that the dock’s speakers are a big improvement over the tablet’s built-in speakers. But I don’t know that for sure. So, I’m going to give it a 4-star review.

The Google Pixel Tablet 11" for 2024 is the same Google Pixel Tablet that came with the speaker dock late last year. Google has now separated the two and started selling the tablet by itself. Can it stand on its own after losing arguably its best feature? Let's find out: The Google Pixel Tablet 11" comes in 3 distinct colors. Porcelain White, Hazel and Rose Pink. Made of high-quality aluminum that features an anodized coating on the back of the tablet to provide a better holding surface and almost eliminates fingerprints. This is a nice touch indeed. The tablet does feel great to hold in your hands and provides a good gripping surface as well. Internally the Google Pixel Tablet is rocking Google's own Tensor G2 SOC chip for increased security as well as better battery performance. This is the same chip inside the latest Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro mobile phones. The tablet display provides good color accuracy and can reach up to 500 nits depending on what content you are viewing. The resolution is 2560 x 1600 for sharp images. Overall, the display gets the job done nicely. The tablet is also equipped with either 128GB or 256GB of storage and 8GB of LPDDR5 ram for all your media consumption needs. The Tablet features 4 surround sound speakers, fast charging and pretty good battery life. The main drawback is the lack of deep bass coming from the onboard speakers. If there had been Dolby Atmos included in the software, it might have made the speakers sound better overall. Inside the box you will find the Google Pixel Tablet, USB-C charging cable and instruction pamphlet. Powering on the tablet for the first time, you are greeted with the Googler Setup screen. Setup is a breeze and does walk you through each step nicely. You can also protect your account with either a security pin or using your fingerprint with the built-in sensor in the power button. Overall, the Google Pixel Tablet is a medium range Android Tablet that will hit the mark for a lot of average users looking for a decent 11inch Android Tablet however without the speaker dock, this tablet falls short on its appeal. If you are in the market for a decent android tablet to watch movies, play light games on or listen to your favorite music, the Google Pixel Tablet might just be the one you are after. With its $399 price tag, this tablet has very stiff competition to go up against.

My tablet used daily for everything. Works great for a tablet.

Great tablet. Great price. Easy set up - glad I ordered

So far it's been good. Was hoping for the same editing features as Google pixel phones but I don't think it has as much.

Pretty much just an average and slightly overpriced tablet. It's good for web surfing and the speakers are pretty good. However, the greatest shortfall is really going to be in the fact that there's no NFC for wallet verification of credit cards and the camera is absolutely horrible. I'm really surprised at the camera quality on a Google pixel device. At 8 megapixels. It can't zoom in it can't zoom out. Everything is very unclear and quite blurry. Because it has a fixed focus, you're not going to get very good quality photos out of this. It's for this reason alone. I really truly believe that it's just not worth the money. Not when you can get a Samsung Galaxy tab with better battery and hardware specifications for exactly the same price.

Wife needed an update! so I got her a tablet for Christmas.

If you're purchasing this to act as a home station and speaker, stay away. It works okay as a tablet standalone, but is extremely buggy and temperamental as a smart home station. Hey Google recognition never works and swapping profiles is clunky and disorganized. Apps must be installed into each profile completely separately. Attempting to use as a speaker, it constantly disconnected or stops playing the music. Google has been steadily getting worse with their hardware and home offerings. This will likely be my last one.

Quiet good however i needed it for school but the size was not ideal. I returned it and got a laptop instead

This review is based on the quality/value in 2025. While it's a cool tablet and I am fully in the Pixel ecosystem, it's getting old and it won't be receiving updates for much longer. That coupled with an aging CPU makes it a pass.

I bought this one since I've been using Pixel phones for years, but half of the apps I use every day are not compatable. When I go to PLAY STORE...it says this APP is not compatable with this tablet. I contacted Google and their only solution is to contact EACH app developer...are you KIDDING ME? Returning it tomorrow...so disgusted!

The screen became more and more unresponsive over time and is now junk after having the device since Nov. '23 (it hasn't even been a year and a half). This is the last Pixel device that we ever purchase. Every single Pixel hardware device we have owned has come with problems.
