Introduction

Brands like Samsung, OnePlus, Asus, Huawei and Nokia are trying hard to launch tablets at different price points but no one is capable of conquering the market. The competition between Apple iPad and Android tablets is being won brutally by iPads, thanks to the Apple ecosystem and iPad's unmatched performance. Android tablets are here for a long time and Android tablet brands have diversified the tablets into various forms like mini-size tablets, tablets with giant displays, gaming tablets etc, Now Google has diversified the tablet industry more. Google Pixel tablet has been launched and created a lot of buzz because of its unique and gimmicky attachments. This is not the first time Google has tried their hands in the tablet industry. In the last decade, Google had launched many tablets under the brand name of Nexus but they weren’t able to cast their magic as at that time the budget Android tablet market was ruled by Samsung. In between Google focussed on making smart devices like Google Nest which works on your voice command and has a screen for multimedia consumption. The Google Pixel tablet is kind of a fusion of tablet and nest devices that we will encounter later in this review of the Google Pixel tablet by BuyMobile.

Google Pixel Tablet Specifications 

Google Pixel Tablet Display - As Display is what matters the most

Let’s Understand how important the display is for tablet, as people use tablets for different use cases some like to play games on it, some likes to surf the internet on it, some tends to consume ott platform shows, and some people work on their tablet. For gaming and working your tablet should have a powerful chipset whereas for watching videos on the go requires less power but in all use cases one thing is common. No user can compromise with an ordinary display as nowadays smartphones under $300 are featuring high-end AMOLED displays. Google Pixel tablet comes with 10.75 inches IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1600 x 2560 pixels and an adequate 79.7% of body to screen ratio which reduces the chance of accidental touches. The peak brightness of the tablet is 500 nits which will perform with decency in bright outdoors. Let’s talk from a binge-watcher perspective, this tablet comes with a decent display considering its price and it offers HDR content support on digital entertainment platforms like Netflix, Amazon prime video etc. The display neither cheer nor disappoint as tablets in a similar price range are offering the same display specs but what’s special with Google Pixel Tablet is it comes with a charging speaker dock inside the box which amplifies its audio along with wireless charging for your never-ending entertainment.

Google Pixel Tablet Performance Overview

After the display, the second most important thing in a tablet is its performance. You can get a tablet in Australia for under $250 but that device will only be able to be used for basic purposes. Google Pixel is priced at a sweet spot and offers adequate performance for day-to-day regular tasks. Google features a tensor G2 chip which is specially optimised for pixel devices as it was earlier packed with Pixel 7 and 7 pro this year. The problem with the G2 Tensor chip is its heating issues but with tablets, it is easier for the brand to solve throttling issues. The performance of Tensor G2 when you compare it with iPad 10th gen and OnePlus Pad is comparatively on the downside but google clean Os can make up for it. The Antutu benchmark score of Tensor G2 Tablet is 860155 which is good considering the price range but if you are a performance enthusiast, you should look for other options like iPad or OnePlus Pad. Google Pixel tablet is not made for core performance it’s outcasts for those who want to have a tablet that can act like a google nest device. Another plus side to the Google Pixel Tablet is its software experience as it runs on Clean Android OS for tablet which is well optimized for big screens not like other brands that offer a screen-stretched experience.

Google Pixel Camera continues the legacy

Pixel smartphones are known for their cameras and Pixel tablet is kind of on the same track. Generally, tablets with Android OS have a lousy camera that is only there for specific purposes like scanning documents and stuff. But with Pixel Tablet, Google has packed 8MP Front and 8MP back camera which captures picture with sharp details as Google algorithms magic is present with the tablet. The front camera is capable of providing good quality video conferencing.

Google Pixel Tablet Battery Review

Google Pixel tablet comes with a 7020 mAh battery which can last more than a day on moderate usage and an 18W charger is bundled within the box. 18W charging is quite low considering the battery capacity but the separate charging doc inside the box covers for it. Keeping the Pixel tablet attached to Doc provides amplified audio and act as a charging station which ensures you can use pixel tablet while charging without any problem

Conclusion

Google Pixel tablet is not launched to compete with other Android tablets, it came to make a new space for a device that is a fusion of both a tablet and a smart home device. We as tech enthusiasts recommend pixel tablets to those who want a clean Android OS experience that is well-optimised for a bigger screen size and can control other smart devices in your home. For not-so-average users who want high-end performance from their tablet should go for the Samsung Tab S9 series or OnePlus pad as they are made for that purpose only.
