Great tablet. Had iPads in the past and this great

It’s a great tablet. I don’t have any issues with it.

Amazing quality you need this in your life it’s so amazing

It physically felt like a cheap piece of plastic. Bezels are large especially for todays standards. Couldnt download the Best Buy app which is super odd to me.

I like the tablet but I wish it had better display and faster chip like Tensor G4.

Amazing tablet must buy it’s makes you smart home smarter

Nice alternative to the Apple Device group. I moved to Google from Apple and actually like it more.

Tablet version of the smooth pixel phone experience. However, slow refresh rate on LCD display leads to a bit of a disjointed scrolling experience, especially compared to the latest Pixel phones. Would also expect an OLED display at this price point. Still, the cohesive software experience makes this tablet worth it, in my opinion.

This pairs perfect with my Pixel 8 Pro. Making things seamless between the two.

Great tablet for the money, with stock android and AI built in

My wife loves this tablet. Uses it a lot for drawing.

I purchased this a little over a month ago and unfortunately it keeps glitching to the point where I have to restart it several times. It also won't allow for the pixel software to update, it always fails to install.

I purchased an open box Pixel tablet on sale. Once I received it, I tried to set it up and it turned out that the tablet was still linked to the previous owner or stolen who knows, basically I got a paperweight tablet. I contacted support, they wouldn't let me return it without visiting a Geek Squad place inside of their stores. Im from a small town, 50 min drive! Anyways I went in there hoping I would get an exchange but they basically told me since the price went back to regular price, the only thing they could do for me was a refund. I lost the opportunity to get it at the discounted price. What a big disappointment. Last time I will purchase an open box item from Best Buy!

It is for a kid, not for an adult. I purchase a Samsung tablet instead above.

Well-made and brimming with bleeding-edge features This is unquestionably the best tablet I've had. Google has lately been treating the Pixel line as an experimental sandbox for beta features other versions of Android don't have yet, and positioning it as a "flagship" in technical specs. I'm *absolutely* here for both. Form factor: This model doesn't feel as large as it actually is, which is a blessing: I personally don't really like tablets as large as a standard sheet of paper. The bezel is unobtrusive, and the frame feels sturdy while still comfy with a soft finish. Hardware buttons feel crisp, substantial, and responsive. It's a bit thicker than I expected (presumably as a consequence of the relatively higher technical specs than entry-level/lightweight tablets that are often little more than glorified 720p e-readers with Chromium-kernel web browsers installed), but I don't really notice it in use. It's also fairly light for its size, and I had no problems holding it up for long periods laying on my back in bed. Build quality: Most Android tablets in my experience are *very* NOT-durable even with only *extremely* gentle use, as I had 2 fail within a year. I'm cautiously optimistic this Pixel will best those poor experiences, but it definitely remains to be seen how long this one will last. I won't be able to update my review in the future, but I strongly encourage readers to seek out further information on this point. Video: I'm not sensitive to image/video quality (I still have an SD CRT TV from 2002), so all of my complaints about that have to do with the source or my internet being terrible (e.g. an awful 1980-something magnetic tape transfer, 3-4 Mp digital cameras ca. 2004). Google claims this screen displays 4K video from YouTube in particular; I don't doubt their claims, but I honestly can't tell the difference between that and "ordinary" HD resolution. All the streaming video I've checked out across a variety of services (YouTube; Netflix; Paramount+; Crunchyroll; misc. web streams) looks perfectly fine to my undiscerning eye. Games designed for smaller resolution look perfectly fine to me even when scaled-up. I *can* tell that it renders fine text crisply and nicely, which is *extremely* noticeable and helpful when attempting to read Japanese kanji at the tablet's equivalent of 10pt font. So major points for that. Audio: I *am* somewhat sensitive to *audio* quality, but that's more to do with your Bluetooth peripherals (note that this device does not feature an AUX port) and audio source. I've found YouTube Music to stream at adequate quality for my needs on my phone with a mid-range pair of Bluetooth earbuds and a waterproof JBL speaker I use in the bathroom. I was a bit disappointed with the audio quality from YouTube Music on this Pixel with a cheaper pair of Anker earbuds, but that's probably just those headphones' inferior quality. I guess I should probably just invest in a set of Pixel earbuds to ensure full compatibility (and use the built-in software features unique to Pixel devices) and get the most out of this device's audio. The hardware speakers are a pleasant surprise in audio quality, but who primarily uses those with mobile devices? Unique features: Every Android device has its own "gimmicks" to set it apart from its direct competition. The power button also houses a fingerprint reader, comparable to the Samsung Galaxy and Apple systems. The tablet setup process strongly encourages users to train at least 2 fingers (1 / hand) on this system, depending on how you hold the device. Personally, I've never had even the *remotest* success with consumer fingerprint ID tech from ca. 2006 corporate laptop security setups to current-gen phones; none of my devices ever succeed in recognizing my fingerprints more than 1 out of 4 "sessions" × however many attempts (and really more like 1 out of 20). This Pixel is no different; it's only successfully recognized either of the 2 index fingers I programmed a grand total of 2× in however many *dozens* of times I've attempted it as of this writing. Your mileage may vary, but this entire field of consumer tech will never be anything more than just a gimmick to me. There's apparently a hardware connector on the back that allows it to connect to a dock. Kinda neat in theory, I guess? But seems a bit silly unless you're a business using it as a point-of-sale or otherwise have some use-case for a stable podium. Google's product literature mentions that it acts as a speaker, but this seems like a really weird home audio setup to me: halfway between the convenience of phone Bluetooth connectivity and the high-fidelity of premium speakers, yet somehow with neither. Some of the bleeding-edge Android features - Quick Share across other "nearby" Android devices, Google Photos' new advanced editing tools, split screen with drag-and-drop - are really nice. Quick Share (like an Android version of Apple's AirDrop) is a super convenient, straightforward way to send something to, e.g., a partner's device without an intermediate client that could complicate sending or potentially mangle the file. The Magic Eraser and Unblur photo tools are as *extremely* powerful as Google's TV ads makes them seem. Advanced split screen is available on other recent Android devices, but it feels significantly more user-friendly on this larger screen than on my ~6 month old Samsung Galaxy phone. Some of these features, though (e.g., listen to music/videos on the tablet, with phone audio taking over when a call comes in), depend upon Pixel phones and the Buds I mentioned earlier, and are thus useless if you have a different type of phone. Quite a few are outside my wheelhouse (apparently, there are actually people out there who conduct and manage business meetings and *entire workdays* on/from their tablets??) and aren't particularly useful to me. I don't have kids, so Kids Space is irrelevant. I'm the sole user of this tablet as my partner has her own, but Profiles seems like a potentially useful way to share one within a household. Google [smart] Home features sound cool, but I'm far too aware of IoT's security pitfalls to ever utilize it. Video casting would be nice if I had a TV capable of supporting it. I'm also puzzled that my Samsung Galaxy phone has UI features (customize 3-button interface and size of home screen app grid, dedicated "all apps" button on the taskbar, Settings menu/app and a wide variety of common settings in the notification tray) that this ostensibly more advanced device does not? Performance: Tech specs are more than adequate for my "routine" usage patterns. I don't play many newer "hardcore" graphics-/resource-intensive games, let alone on devices other than my gaming PC - partly because of concerns about hardware capabilities and control input (if I have to work around these issues with a tablet, I'd rather just use my PC) - but my taste in games is also such that most of what I would want to play isn't available for Android in the first place. But this Pixel handled some larger relatively mild 3D games (like Super Mario Run) just fine. I had some OS difficulties with older game apps that haven't been updated for new Android versions in years, but that's on the app developers. Storage capacity is exactly as-advertised; it's more than adequate for "average" users, and should have more than enough space for *gobs* of offline content for long trips off of wireless internet connectivity. Battery: I don't use my tablets as "hard" as a phone (most of my use is in the form of reading/browsing the web/scrolling social media while listening to music, streaming an episode or 2 of a show, or casual gaming) so I usually try to keep them in that 60-80% "sweet spot" for long-term device health. This Pixel came out of the box with a ballpark 40-50% charge; all the set-up, app installs, required OS updates, and setting up user accounts only brought it down to ~37%. Plugging it in from there on a most definitely *not* fast-charger (1.2 A/10-15W USB 2.0 wall adapter with Best Buy store brand USB-C cable), it charged to about 96% over ~3 hrs. Over the course of *5 FULL DAYS* of further use - setting up and testing a variety of 3rd party apps and games, listening to music, reading, web browsing, streaming video, casual gaming, and leaving it on all day and all night - it still hadn't fallen back to that 37% when I charged it that 1st day. I personally find this *incredibly impressive* by modern standards given phones that absolutely *must* be charged fully every 24 hrs; the idea that any device these days can get by being charged once every ~3-5 days is *mind-blowing* to me. In the best way. Yes, I'm not playing games or watching video for hours on it every day, but HOLY CATS is this battery awesome for my needs. *Major* kudos. Bottom line: If you're in the market for a "full-size" Android tablet (as opposed to something explicitly compact like a 7"), I would be very hard pressed to recommend any other. All of my 2 or 3 "complaints" are exceedingly minor and petty in the grand scheme of things, and, frankly, likely apply equally to a pretty broad swath of other Android tablets on the market today. This one feels excellent, has the technical specs to rival even fairly decent laptop PCs, has some nice usability features, has a battery that puts literally every other device I've ever used to shame, and is genuinely a delight to use.

Cannot cast to monitors with USB C cable to HDMI converter

Trash.... Didn't have it for a week before it was acting like it was possessed. Buttons would push by themselves and it would just jump from page to page. Bought it used but I didn't know that I bought it broken.

This Google Pixel tablet comes in at 11 inches for screen viewing while having crisp screen resolution in Full HD (2560x1600). The model tested was the 128GB model, in Hazel; the next model up is the 256GB model and the secondary color offering is porcelain. Please note the third color option, Rose is only available if you were to order the Google Tablet with Charging Speaker Dock. If you’re a fan of the Google product line, this tablet pairs very easily with the various accessories available from Google. Built-in Chromecast enables you to cast music and videos from your mobile devices to your tablet quickly and to any device supporting cast with ease. Very Smart Home friendly and easy to connect various devices throughout your smart home. Supports multiple-user profiling to eliminate profile customization cross-over when someone else picks up your device for use. The anti-reflective coating could be better as there is a little bit of a glare issue in certain lighting. Overall sound is good, and immersive when playing games. Desktop. Tries to act as 2 devices in one as a tablet and possible desktop device replacement using the additional dock accessory. You can connect a Bluetooth keyboard, mouse, and even a stylus for note taking. There’s also Google Board’s (G-Board) hand-writing mode you can use your “hand” or stylus to write with. Charging/Adaptive Battery. Rated for 12-hours of video playback, roughly getting almost 9-hours at an almost fully charged battery. Charging is done in a similar manner to mobile phones via a USB-C port. Found on the left edge when viewing the tablet. The smart adaptive battery keeps the battery healthy by charging only to 90%, this eliminates any overcharging as we have begun seeing in most Android driven devices. Tensor G2 Processor. Designed around latest Artificial Intelligence for better dictation, providing excellent speech recognition. Very responsive when looking asking for apps to be opened, responses to questions, and setting appointments or reminders. Playing graphic driven heavy games on the tablet run surprisingly smooth, this include a highly popular game where you build with blocks in a virtual world. Overall the Tensor G2 provides fast and smooth streaming, increased quality of video calls, dictation, and multitasking via split screen. It has been designed to improve performance while increasing battery life efficiency during use and uses the Titan T2 security chip that is used in the Google Pixel phone line. Power Button with Fingerprint Unlock. Easy to setup and works very fast when setup via the power button that has the built-in fingerprint sensor. Easily found by a highlight on the screen edge when the tablets detects you’re looking for it. Artificial Intelligence. Aides in photo editing to choose your best look and can edit images saved in Google Photos from other devices. Video audio can be cleanup when taken in a loud environment to remove certain background noise or wind. Search for anything by screen capture, photo, voice, and even circling what it you’re looking for in any screenshot or photo. Supports “Live Translate”, enabling you to ask questions when travelling to locations where you’re not familiar with the surrounding language via photo, voice to conversion. Overall, very happy with the way Google has been working towards becoming your in-home go to device, while complimenting all your connected home devices. This ties to the AI interface and its various capabilities available for use. This review was built in Google Docs, edited, and posted using this Pixel Tablet with ease.

Purchased as open box item. Has issues with touch screen from the start. Even though tablet condition was excellent condition it might have internal issue when first returned. Other than that it would have been a great buy if it had no issues.

While I have had a handful of tablets over the years, I haven't had one in quite a while. I've been researching lately because sometimes I wish I had a larger screen for watching videos, but I do not necessarily want to use a laptop. I've been watching prices on competing products, but ultimately decided to get this Pixel Tablet. I have had every Pixel phone since they launched, as well as every Nexus phone before that. It was a seamless process to set up this tablet, as it is essentially the same as my Pixel phones. The screen is bright and plenty big at 11 inches. While it has the Pixel 7's Tensor G2 processor, it is still snappy and streams all of my video apps without issue. I do not mind the 60hz screen, as I only use it for content consumption and not daily use like my phone. Battery life has been great, and I have easily gotten most of a day out of it streaming videos and casually browsing social media. I would say this the best bang for your buck when it comes to android tablets, especially with the recent price drop after no longer being bundled with the charging dock. Plus, there are multiple cases and folio cases available for this tablet, so it is easy to set up for your personal needs.
