Specs
The fully immersive 11-inch screen in 2560 x 1600 resolution contains 16 million colours. What’s more, the interface comes fully customizable to your preference. Powered and secured through Tensor G2, the Pixel Tablet is the first tablet with the powerful Tensor G2 chip. Great for delivering smooth rendering for the designer or the gamer in you.
Featuring Google AI, this device is capable of doing it all. Plus, the long lasting battery gives you up to 12 hours of video streaming, great for any long-haul trips you have coming up this summer. Have to hop on a quick Google Meet? The front and back camera are both 1080p video recording at 30fps and the Tensor G2 gives the camera the ability to follow your movement keeping you in frame while also automatically adjusting the lighting.
Pixel Tablet Dock
The dock that does it all. Simply place the tablet over the dock for a magnetic docking interface with pogo pin connection. With a 15W charging rate, worry less about battery life. The dock also doubles as a 43.5 mm full-range speaker so you can blast your favourite tunes while working away or if you want it just in the background while you relax at home.
The dock is included whenever you purchase the tablet and you can even choose to purchase additional docs and enable Hub Mode in multiple rooms. Google Home…activated.
Gent’s Approved
After using the tablet for over a week, I find myself integrating it more and more into my day to day. From keeping on top of meetings to using it to access notes and documents on drives, having the functionality and easy user interface has been terrific. The long lasting battery allows me to continue working through video calls on the go and is also a great source for taking a break to binge on a couple of my favourite episodes.
The Pixel Tablet retails starting at $699 CAD and comes in Porcelain or Hazel. Additional accessories also worth considering include the Pixel Tablet case, great because it’s still compatible with the doc.
Overall, Gent’s Approved.
