Google isn't trying to reinvent the wheel here with the Pixel Tablet. Instead, it's trying to include a number of features that make this tablet a whole lot cooler. Like Chromecast Built-In, and the included speaker dock that turns it into a smart display.

Included speaker dock sounds incredible, The smoothest Android software on any tablet, Pulls double duty as a smart display with Chromecast, Great performance, Plenty of storage

No keyboard accessory available, Lack of Tablet-optimized apps

Overall, the Pixel Tablet is a great Android tablet from Google but it remains to be seen how long the company’s support for tablets will last.

Display looks great, Quick performance from the Tensor G2, Battery lasts all-day, Loud built-in speakers, Hub Mode works well, Long software update policy

Ok cameras, Charging Speaker Dock issues, Not many tablet-specific apps

The Pixel Tablet is a really interesting reimagining of what Google sees a tablet as being. But as the wannabe hub of your home, while still offering great battery life when used handheld for content consumption, it's hard to see who this new slate is really aimed at – especially at this price...

Chromecast built-in for easy content sharing, Decent battery life when off the dock, Dock included for home hub-like use

Dock inclusion makes it more home hub than straight-up tablet, Android OS on tablets still not the best, Screen only has 60Hz refresh rate

The Pixel Tablet is an Android tablet with a trick up its sleeve, making it a worthwhile alternative to the class leaders Sharp and natural picture Impressive built-in speakers Dock included in the box Poor dark detail Colours could be bolder Performance with headphones is underwhelming

Google's return to tablets gives greater optimisation and a unique focus on smart home integration. It's a little on the expensive side - no doubt thanks to the bundled dock - but for Android fans, there's appeal in this pure Android Pixel Tablet.

Nice design and build, High resolution display, Bundled Charging Speaker Dock sounds good

It's expensive, Hub Mode is a bit lacklustre, App ecosystem can't challenge iPad

A smart display you can carry around the home

New tablet UI and optimise apps much better than older efforts, Bright and colourful screen well suited to streaming video, 2-in-1 approach makes it great choice for families

Dock is dumb once you take off the tablet, App ecosystem still behind Apple

The ongoing quest for the perfect balance between productivity and entertainment has led to the emergence of an array of versatile devices. Key among these for 2023, the Google Pixel Tablet has taken the spotlight, promising a seamless fusion of work and play within a single, elegantly designed...

Is it a smart display? Is it a tablet? Yes. Sort of....

Unique Nest Hub-like dock, Decent battery life and reliable charging, Good audio on and off the dock, Pixel-exclusive software features, Long-term update policy

Lacks several key Nest Hub features when docked, Sluggish 60Hz display, Tensor G2 gets hot, Low-res cameras and limited video options, Exorbitant price for additional docks that do nothing on their own

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features

Design too familiar, Some average features

The iPhone 14 isn’t much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it’s still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.

Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance

Display could use some upgrades
