For the Pixel Tablet, which was officially announced at Google I/O 2023, the author used a little time on the spot to play with it.
The Pixel Tablet is actually not the first tablet device of the Pixel brand. Google launched a product called Pixel Slate in 2018, but it used the Chrome OS operating system at that time, which is significantly different from the Pixel Tablet’s Android 14L operating system design.
The positioning of the two products is also different. The Pixel Slate is mainly designed to meet the needs of work, while the Pixel Tablet is mainly designed to be combined with a built-in amplified speaker design charging stand, so as to serve as a smart display like a Nest Hub. For use with large tablet devices.
In terms of hardware specifications, the Pixel Tablet is equipped with a Tensor G2 processor, 8GB memory, and 128GB or 256GB storage capacity. The screen adopts a 10.95-inch, 2560 x 1600 LCD panel design, and the battery capacity can correspond to 12 hours of video streaming. usage time.
Google has not launched a keyboard case for the Pixel Tablet, or advertised that the keyboard is an operation mode that corresponds to the needs of work. Instead, it is used as a connection hub for smart connected devices at home, or as a digital photo frame, or a small smart display. Therefore, this model is particularly emphasized. The tablet device is equipped with four sets of amplified speakers, which can even be fixed with magnetic suction, and the charging stand with the function of amplified speakers can correspond to immersive audio-visual content experience, and can even use Google TV related content services.
However, from the past work needs to be adjusted to the positioning of the smart home connection hub, Pixel Tablet may still be difficult to break away from the fact that it is still a tablet in essence. Many people will still use the Pixel Tablet as a general tablet.
At present, Pixel Tablet has been opened for pre-orders from now on, and white, hazel, and pink orange colors are available. The suggested price starts from 499 US dollars. The charging stand will be included as a free accessory for Pixel Tablet, but there is no plan to introduce sales in the Taiwan market. painting.
