This tablet feels like they are dipping their toe in the water before committing more resources to a higher end tablet to compete with the iPad Pro. At least I hope so.🤞🏻
This could be a first step where they're gonna make a real Android Tablet OS and not a Phone OS that other Android makers like Samsung has to 'Fix' to work for their Tablets.
@@inisipisTV here's hoping they are just getting started. I love my iPad pro, but I loathe the Apple ecosystem, so a proper Android tablet with a quality pen(cil) and of course Procreate is my ideal scenario.
This was brought for my dad who has dyalisis 3 times a week ruclips.net/user/postUgkxhCuDBrUituw2nsXGvNEQnKy8UaTIxd8Y and is regularly admitted to hospital. This has definitely saved him from bordem whilest having his treatment. He’s watched loads of great films and fount himself learning more each day
Great video! I was really curious about what drawing on this was like, since Google didn't really advertise the stylus support as a feature. Could you also consider checking out the Mi Pad 6 and what their second generation stylus is like? They've made quite a few claims like having a 150 hour battery on the stylus etc etc., but I'm yet to see a good review video on it from a drawing and creative use perspective. Thanks! Edit: He made an awesome video about it, go check it out :)
As far as the speaker stepping up or down. Keep in mind this was really designed to work within the Google home framework. If you have that running you can set the home speaker volume to your preference. I imagine without it, it would default to the system. I would be curious if someone could verify this though. As I'm only theorizing.
I've been waiting to hear your perspective on this tablet. I use that pen to draw on my high-end Chromebook and it sounds like it performs exactly the same on both. I'm used to it because it's all I know, so the lag wouldn't bother me. My house is also full of google smart home stuff so I may have to pull the trigger.
I think Google could be really successful if they managed to make a decent tablet targeted towards beginner digital artists, at a decent price point that's mid range or more of a low range price point. I myself am wanting to get into drawing on a tablet but I am put off because of the price and that I also have a bunch of paper that I feel like would go to waste if I buy a tablet, but mainly it's the price of getting a decent tablet to draw with while being in my price range.
What’s the price you want to pay? The tab s6 lite is pretty cheap and has a good drawing performance. The Lenovo chromebooks have the same pen as this, and they can clock in at $200. A second hand iPad 7 or 8 is still a powerful tablet compared to the lower end mid end tablets. For beginner digital artists these are all good. The tab s 6 lite especially when it’s on special. You can’t expect iPad Pro or tab S level performance for bottom dollar, but digital drawing tablets have been good for almost 10 years now. And that tech today has trickled down to lower end devices. And if you could make artwork 10 years ago, you can today. $200 or even $300 is very reasonable for a computer you can carry and draw on. I think price isn’t an issue anymore. If people aren’t buying drawing tablets which is fine, maybe you just aren’t that interested in it.
This was the pixel tab review i was waiting for! To have Google's android and a good pen experience is the dream.. Now to watch the review and see if it was a nightmare
You are always drawing some interesting pictures. What are you drawing them for? They remind me of randomness from DnD campaigns. Thank you for the great reviews you do all the time.
It's always good to have more competition. In this case it's still a good tablet with lots of ram (something a lot of vendors skimp on and a lot of android users fail to realize they actually need a fair bit of. 4gb just will not cut it today outside of light use). Little sad to see the shoe stringing on those lines though. But to me that's better than wobble. I'd rather clean up the ends than the whole line.
Observing Google's attempts at boarding the tablet market, the new Pixel tablet surprisingly doesn't support proper optimization for many applications (Watch MKHBD's review) just like the previous tabkets Google has made. Seems like they still haven't figured out the main problems and concerns regarding to why they keep failling in the tablet market. Google doesn't take the time to get developers to change their apps or customize the OS in general. Everyone's eyes are focused on the latest iPads, even with the newest Android tablets going on sale. So good luck to Google!
Thanks for the video, can you confirm if the hover indicator (little circle ⭕) feature is supported when you put your stylus close to the tablet screen?
@@AtlantaTerry perhaps where you're from but I've never heard anyone refer to the end of a products life cycle as "dropped", it's quite the opposite actually.
Nowadays English is very confusing. So many words with opposite meanings are in common use. Drop - newly introduced / removed bi-weekly - twice a week / once every two weeks sanction - to boycott /to approve overlook - to watch / to not notice
Ahem, so anyway... It's neat that google are making tablets again, and I feel like this is a good first gen entry into that. I just hope they do release more tabs that stand a better chance at competing with Apple and Samsung, so that creatives have even more options. Plus Procreate may be more tempted to make an android app if Google becomes a serious competitor in this space.
The only reason google is including the speaker for free is basically adblocks have have been too much of a problem for them and they're interested in new ways to collect data
can it run figma on the browser, been looking for a really portable device to carry on my edc so I can do some quick calls and have a quick session in figmam looks very interesting device a grab and go always charged
Feels like they're throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks. It's a tablet with a home speaker/charging dock, but doesn't offer a refined software experience to take advantage of that. It's plenty powerful enough for emulation and other power hungry apps, but doesn't market itself like that. It has pen support, but doesn't come with a pen or even really mention such functionality. This is classic Google: either committing too hard to a gimmick nobody asked for or, in this case, not committing hard enough to any specific marketing angle- all so they can blame the consumer, shit can the project and move on, leaving the people that bought the product in the dust. It's infuriating I'm with you, Brad. Let samsung come out with a proper speaker dock attachment for their Galaxy tabs and we'll actually be cooking with gas Edit: this isn't to say there isn't a lot of good with the pixel tab. I WANT to want one so badly because I could see myself getting a lot of use out of a hub that enhances my creative and consuming habits, but I just don't trust Google to know how to provide that for me in a way that just works
USI is garbage. Wacom is still the best Pen tech. Every other manufacturer ought copy or license EMR tech. Apple won't because they can charge a premium for their landfill pens, but all these other companies are opting for the literal worst option. I wouldn't write with a USI pen, let alone draw with one.

I used to love that "soft and warm" texture on many gadgets but now I know that the polymers break down over a few years and it becomes a sticky mess.

Exact same think i was about to ask...... Want Xiaomi pad 6 review especially about the smart pen 2nd gen and drawing experience
The way you draw on these tablet always make them look nice,

I got this tablet for a week ago and i simply LOVE it it do so much more than and normal tablet when i use it in my Google smart home too
Great review, can you please review Xiaomi pad 6 with smart pen 2nd gen. They have improved so much. :)

So.... USI is still far behind Wacom EMR and Apple Pencil?
I might try to use this as well for my artworks. been always on the samsung ecosystem and ipad. this will be a good refresh. thanks for the review!
Side note. How do you think these will affect
5:53 Square Space just bought Google Domains (2023 July).
And Elon Musk bought Invidia (2023 July).
Thanks for the review. I have been kind of curious on how well can Pixel Tablet do in terms of drawing.
brilliant tablet I cant wait to get one.

@@sloppynyusziJust about to say... The s6 lite is super cheap rn so I might pick that up
This should be marketed to seniors. My dad needs a simple device. It needs a 13 inch screen and keyboard and mouse.
Bought one only because of my home integration. So far it's good, maybe sometimes a little slow. Overall it's a good compromise vs my Samsung tablets.
it time for mid year tablet comparison!!
This was the pixel tab review i was waiting for! To have Google's android and a good pen experience is the dream.. Now to watch the review and see if it was a nightmare
Just wanted to know, whether this was sent by Google or you bought/borrowed it for a review.
I purchased it myself. I mention it if a product is provided.
You are always drawing some interesting pictures. What are you drawing them for? They remind me of randomness from DnD campaigns.
Thank you for the great reviews you do all the time.
Here he's drawing a character from zelda tears of the kingdom.

Might be that tensor processor causing that lag.

Looking forward to a followup hands on review when Android 14 released.
Hope they make Google Cardboard again! VR is the future!
You can't make me buy it Brad .... you can't make me buy it ....MUST RESIST! 😫😫
So Brad, can you use the Oneplus pen with the Pixel Tablet and the pen from this video on the Oneplus pad?
Xiaomi Pad 6 with the new pen pls 🙏
What app did you use to illustrate on this video?
been waiting for this video🤩🤩🤩
Im so exited! ❤
exit
enter
Thanks for the video, can you confirm if the hover indicator (little circle ⭕) feature is supported when you put your stylus close to the tablet screen?
lenovo just dropped their tab extreme, i wonder if youll test it??
"dropped" normally means a product is going away, not newly introduced.
@@AtlantaTerry perhaps where you're from but I've never heard anyone refer to the end of a products life cycle as "dropped", it's quite the opposite actually.
@@AtlantaTerry lots of youtubers and everyday people call a new product release a drop, even Brad does that
Nowadays English is very confusing. So many words with opposite meanings are in common use.
Drop - newly introduced / removed
bi-weekly - twice a week / once every two weeks
sanction - to boycott /to approve
overlook - to watch / to not notice
It would be great if you could review some different stylus' for us Android/Chromebook people.
HUDSON, HE'S STANDING! HOW IS HE STANDING?!?!

what apps u use to drawing in pixel tablet?
Did you upgraded your camera? Why everything is so crisp
The only reason google is including the speaker for free is basically adblocks have have been too much of a problem for them and they're interested in new ways to collect data
Nice review
keeping screen on with a clock is not good for the screen
can it run figma on the browser, been looking for a really portable device to carry on my edc so I can do some quick calls and have a quick session in figmam looks very interesting device a grab and go always charged
What is the AUE for this tablet? (AUE is Auto Update End Date)
Bro! At this point I'm really worried about your eye now, or maybe you just shot a lot of videos at the same time.... But, you okay?
It's better now. Had to get some minor surgery last week after a few medicines didn't work. So this is the last video with the big red eye.
@@thebradcolbow Glad to hear you're all better now!
do the speaker work with other tablets? for example samsung tab8
Can I run Fronius SolarWeb on this in dock mode?
Do the Lenovo extreme

what drawing app is he using? :0

my apple pen 2 wobbling so much. i wonder if it is because the screen protector?
yes. i was dealing with the same issue until i took of my matte screen protector. the wobbliness immediately disappeared
@@byeolboi i worry too much because i dropped my pencil a lot 😭. I hope it is because the screen protector.

You Russia?
no? brad is American afaik. he has a more us accent, not a russian one.
To sum it up: the usual piece of crap Google hardware.
Brad doesn't say this at all.
They can keep their crappy speaker and drop the price. All computer tech corps need to just forget about their ideas about speakers, cuz they all suck at it. Then focus on high quality sound cards and signal output quality. Leave the speakers and amplification systems to the user to choose quality hi fi from companies that know what they are doing.
Waiting fot this video
This isn’t designed for artists and not every tablet has to be, just enough need to be made for my liking 😂
I used the USI pen on a Lenovo duet, I don’t think it’s that bad. I liked it better than the pen on my old surface pro 3 I once had
Brad i got news hipaint has ia NEW update
