In addition to the dock’s four charging pins, you can always just use the USB-C port. Google promises “up to” 12 hours of life on a charge.

For most intents and purposes this is effectively a scaled-up version of the Pixel 7/7a. That’s coupled with 8GB of RAM and either 128 or 256GB of storage. There’s also a physical toggle to turn off the mic and camera for privacy purposes.Īs with the rest of the devices announced today (and the Pixel 7), the tablet runs on the Tensor G2 chip. Remember when Facebook/Meta attempted to build an entire product line around this functionality? It’s better as one piece of a much larger picture set.

The set-up is also solid for teleconferencing purposes, with an 8-megapixel front-facing camera capable of recording 1080p at 30FPS (same on the back). With a 10.95-inch display at 2560 x 1600, it’s a decent way to watch a TV show or follow along with some cooking videos while in the kitchen.

Clicked in place, the standard Android desktop flips into Hub Mode, which prioritizes things like smart home control, including live feeds from connected smart cameras. It begs the question of the Nest Hub Max’s fate, especially given that there wasn’t much in the way of Nest news for the duration of 2023 (nor does there appear to be any tied to this event). But those people would be missing out what’s easily the best part of the whole thing.Įffectively the system does double duty. Will there be people hoping to buy the tablet on its own? I dunno. It’s significantly pricier than the Nest Hub Max’s $230, but it’s actually pretty good if you think of it as two devices. Amazon did something similar with its Fire tablets a while back, but this is a much better looking system, and Google is smartly bundling the two together at a $499 price point. It’s a clever design, if not entirely novel.

A subtle animation flashes on the screen and the music you’re playing automatically transforms to the far superior set of speakers. Hold the tablet against the dock and it attaches magnetically, charging the device through a set of pins. There’s the Android slate bit and the dock bit, which attaches magnetically and features its own built-in speakers. The Pixel Tablet effectively breaks it in two. And why not? I’m convinced that the original Nest Hub remains the best looking smart screen to date.
