But as the king of vivid displays, I’m really excited to see how the Pixel Tablet will fare against its rivals. Looking at the presenter’s pictures, I was impressed with how well it reproduced skin tone and how vivid colors looked overall. The touch display is packed with pixels to the tune of 276 ppi (Pixels Per Inch), matching the Galaxy Tab S8, and is slightly more than the iPad Air’s 264 ppi. The Google rep was showing off his adorable daughter and the pictures were so clear, it was all I could do not to try to pinch her chubby rosy cheeks through the 11-inch, 2560 x 1600, 16:10 aspect ratio LCD display. I’m not going to lie to you I got distracted during my Pixel Tablet briefing. Software-wise, Pixel Tablet owners can expect a minimum five years security updates. In short, it’s the smartphone’s version of a laptop’s TPM (Trusted Platform Module). The last piece of this is part of the secret sauce when it comes to encryption. A custom piece of silicon, the Titan M2 is a dedicated security chip with its own separate memory, RAM, and cryptographic accelerator. But then there’s the Titan M2 security chip making its first appearance in a tablet. First, you have the fingerprint scanner baked into the power button. So let’s talk security as the Pixel Tablet has plenty. Compare that to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 (10 x 6.5 x 0.25 inches) and iPad Air (9.7 x 7 x 0.24 inches), which weigh 1.1 pounds and 1 pound, respectively. Now for the dimensions, the Pixel Tablet weighs 17.4 ounces and measures 10.2 x 6.7 x 0.3 inches. And while the shape seems unwieldy, it’s the perfect shape to fit snugly around the speaker dock (more on that later). Never fear, Google has the Pixel Tablet Case to protect your tablet, complete with a shiny large ovular piece of metal that acts as an adjustable kickstand. Vents for each of the four speakers sit along the sides.Įven though I’m not the biggest tablet fan, it’d be a shame if your pretty new tablet took a tumble and got damaged in the fracas. The 8MP front shooter sits center stage in the top landscape bezel.Ī quick tour around the sides reveals the power button and volume buttons at the top and a USB Type-C port on the right. They’re not thicker than anything you’d find on another tablet, but I hope that the day is coming when the bezels shrink in favor of more screen real estate. The glossy display that occupies the majority of the front of the tablet is encased in rather thick white bezels. A glossy G sits towards the bottom of the panel just above the golden magnetic Pogo charging connectors. The 8-megapixel rear panel is located in the top-left corner. ![]()
