Why the Google Pixel Tablet Is Still a Great Casual Android Device

The Pixel Tablet (review) remains Google’s only Android slab offering. While it’s been on the market for a couple of years, it’s still a solid buy for anyone looking for a casual-use tablet—whether for browsing, watching videos, or converting it into a smart home hub.

To unlock the smart display functionality, you’ll need the Charging Speaker Dock, which enables automated charging and enhanced audio through its built-in speakers.

Despite its age, the Pixel Tablet is still a well-rounded device. It features an 11-inch LCD with a crisp 2560 x 1600 resolution and supports USI 2.0 styluses for sketching or note-taking. The display also offers 500 nits of standard brightness, which is more than adequate for indoor and casual use.

Design-wise, the tablet sports rounded corners and a nano-ceramic matte finish, making it comfortable to hold and less prone to slipping. It’s also impressively portable, weighing just 17.39 oz (493 grams) and measuring 10.2 x 6.7 x 0.3 inches.

The quad-speaker setup delivers rich, room-filling audio, making it great for streaming movies and TV shows.

Under the hood, it’s powered by the Tensor G2 chipset, the same silicon used in Google’s flagship Pixel phones, offering flagship-level performance for everyday tasks. Optimized Android software also gives you Pixel-first features, including AI tools and life-saving functions.

While the 8 MP cameras might not sound impressive on paper, they deliver surprisingly good results for a tablet.
