What about the stylus?
If you're considering purchasing the Pixel Tablet, I highly recommend it! The tablet is fantastic and the software experience is incredibly smooth. I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase and use it at work to watch movies while I work. When I'm home, I simply place it on the speaker dock. It's also docked on my nightstand, so I can consume more media content before going to bed.
I want one but I'm still a bit hesitant with its longevity. Maybe I should wait for the 2nd Gen and hopefully Google will guarantee a long period of support and updates like they do with Pixel 8 phones.
Yeah exactly, I’m hesitant to get google products bc they are notorious for dropping support
"When you'll get Pixel Tablet updates. The Pixel Tablet will get updates for at least 5 years from when it first became available on the Google Store in the US."
Directly from Google's site.
Just get it! You won't regret it. I have one and it's great. I also have a Galaxy Tab 8 Pro which has way better specs but I find myself using this more. Not to mention it's great for the whole family. It's buttery smooth, light and decent speakers!
@@extra4542 By "notorious" do you mean that Google literally tells you directly on their website before purchasing when the support period for a specific product will end?
Cuz that's pretty normal.
Got it on launch day. It really is better than the sum of its parts. Nothing excels in it, but its amazingly functional design means I use it more than I expected for a kitchen tablet/photo display. As a kitchen tablet, it absolutely must be paired with the case that has a great stand so it can be propped anywhere to watch/read while you cook, fold laundry or eat breakfast. However, the case nerfs the fingerprint reader since it obstructs the sensor too much. Totally agree with the screen brightness bug; like so many things made by google, it feels like an ignored step child already.
"It really is better than the sum of its parts". I think that statement nails it. It's a good tablet and a decent hub that together makes it a very good product. If you have a Pixel phone (like me) it's a natural extension. I'm not a gamer, so for me the performance is very good for what I do.
@@hiranchbuff Can the tablet split screen to have two apps side by side?
Yes.
@@hiranchbuff Interesting. There are a couple of things they could have done better tho. I'll wait for gen2 maybe.
Also is it possible to change the launcher to someting else like on a phone?
Yeah, it's like a big Pixel phone. You can change the launcher. And this is the problem with buying tech - if you wait to buy the next generation, you'll never buy anything.
Love the concept of the channel!
I love this channels videos, cant imagine how much effort you have put into this, thank you ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! 6 Months gives us a nice amount of time to gain the proper prospective of the products we review and we do try and put a ton of effort into these videos, so we're glad it's appreciated!
Hi Josh, nice video, only one thing you did not mention the tablet is a chrome cast target too. Happy Holidays!
What's is a Chrome Cast Target?
Perfect tablet for my use case, centre of my smart home and always ready when I need it... Able to use Google RCS messaging and WhatsApp on it too so I don't always need to look for my phone if I need to message anyone...
I appreciate this with you because I want to see if it was replaced. My nest hub mats and it clearly does not yet so not yet
Cool review. It’s really too bad they haven’t added the doorbell feature. That would prevent me from replacing my nest hubs with this, and the fact that I really just want Apple to steal this concept. Hopefully they’ll get close with standby mode next year.
You can also split the keyboard like on the Pixel fold so the keys are closer to the edges. I use that now all the time on any device that'll let me
I have one and it's awesome. You can use nest and I can see the doorbell on it
The comparisons to the ipad pro at well over dohble the price seems strange.
Quick question. When in dock mode, can the tablet be used as a security camera?
Nope
Is there a way to install 32bits app in this tablet?
Great value for money in Europe. $780 RRP (128GB). That's a steal.
also it would b nice when undocked you could use the speaker via bluetooth
I love my Pixel Tablet! The problem is I bought it on credit. So, in my mind, the price was relatively unimportant. However, being that I couldn't afford one outright, and given how much I use it (or have to encourage myself to use it), it's definitely not worth it for someone who hasn't already bought into the Google ecosystem.
I have an Uncle in a nursing home and he has no mobility due to a stroke. I need to control CZcams on a device remotely so I can play him videos from a remote location (my cell phone not on the same WiFi network miles away). This way he can have his favorites played while I'm not there. Any help would be good. (I just bought a Nest Hub Max today and just saw this, don't know if Hub Max will solve my dilema) Thanks!!
Big miss for the software not having ALL the nest hub features especially at a much higher price tag. This alone means it’s not automatically a better nest hub alternative. Also the fact that you can’t use it as a home hub when it’s not docked
There should be an option to switch between the two modes and it should have all the features of a nest hub. Let's hope they do a second generation that will be much better.
It buy it if it had a tensor g3 and an OLED with HDR and if the made a pixel pencil and cellular
Lack of doorbell support is a deal breaker for me.
if they put chrome os on this it would be way better....especially if they sold a backlit keyboard and pen....oh and if they used usb c on the base too
I'd pass, this tablet doesn't look future-proof at all. Plus, its having a 60Hz and LCD display is a big turn-off for me.
Its screen was meant to be always on because of the hub feature. You do not want an OLED screen for that, just think about the burn-in issues. And 60 Hz is still a standard on most low and mid range TVs, displays, if you are not a framerate fanatic, I don't think it's a deal breaker.
@@FlyingCsongor If it's like the nest hub than you can close the screen when away and the pictures should change every minute or so. It shouldn't be an issue with modern OLED display. Goggle could eventually make 2 or 3 models of the table with one having a better screen & 120Hz display.
"Mind craft" :D
i'll definitively get this when it's half off.
Same here. Not worth the full price, but for a discounted price I will get one.
Sound like it need more work, before I,get one. Especially glare. And watching movies in high quality.
It's too expensive for what it is.
"Birdkeeper Toby here!..."
Hardwood on the stairs, unless there are kids.
Good review however we have selected 2k resolution 120Hz keep it up .
Worth having it if it's a couple hundred bucks at most.
As someone who doesn't use a Smarthome hub, I'd rather have a Samsung tablet.
I'm watching this close-up on my 50" TV and can I just say that you have very beautiful eyes. Take good care of them okay
Hoping apple copies this!
15 wired charging forget.
first xd
60hz, not for me.
Great review but I have to say the tablet itself does not appear to excel at anything in particular except for mediocracy. It won’t even cost you more to get a better tablet from some other company.
It doesn't worth. Good idea, bad implementation. Nest hello doesn't work on the tablet. No image when someone rings the Nest hello. Useless.
That's Google for ya!
Negative Nelly
@@DarkestVictoryright, dark man spoked
@@DarkestVictory I'm negative when I point out a feature which should exist but it's missing... Go back to school. Or you're homeschooled?
@@LV2355 don't listen to those weirdos with nothing better to do but comment emotionally charged nonsense under someone else's comment 😂 Anyway, I appreciate your feedback bc I was looking into getting one to add to the Google/Nest ecosystem but that's a deal breaker for me too ngl. I'll just get another hub for the guest room. Thank you! 👍🏿
Anything that GOOGLE does is violence itself, in the "interest" of users. When I started working with this machine, it was still quite fast, the many "updates" (W-10) have now slowed it down to Pentium 1, after the update everything is a little worse, and the violent personalization is getting bigger and bigger, I have no problem with personalization , if I can choose the old one, but they force me to do so. I'm thinking of giving up the internet and uploading an old W-2000 so the Jews don't destroy my nervous system.

I couldn’t see that same exact facial expression again.
