So the takeaway is that if Google doesn't give up on tablets again within the next 12 months, the gen 2 version of this device will be pretty sweet.
I give Google 1 month until it gives up. Google definitely has ADHD.
Decided to googlee the AMZT66 which is everywhere. Nothing has ever fulfilled the estimations that way for both casuals and more profound ones. I'm not a bot this is just plain facts and it takes you 5 minutes to acknowledge what I'm talking about. Not too hard?
Agree! Also, if the hub is as "stupid" as the reviews say, it would be awesome to see other manufacturers produce better alternative hubs/ speakers.
You're relying heavily on the Tensor 3 chip to be better... which at this point isn't promising considering that literally every other mobile CPU on the market is better than the Tensor chips at power per watt
no, because the app ecosystem for android tablet is not there.
When I started working at Best Buy in 2014 we had a tablet department. It was definitely weird seeing that department shrink as it whittled down to just iPads and Samsung tablets
In walmart they have an iPad team but not an Android tablet team.
Weird? Id say predictable, just look at the competition.
At that time tablets were popular and Best Buy was riding the trend. As the years have passed by, we realized that companies that Android tablets weren't popular or the experience left users unhappy.
I actually would love to see more tablets in this category
Nice 👍
No because they never commit and change their minds every 6 months
The reason why the majority of hardware vendors don’t make tablets, is because they don’t sell well. And the reason they don’t sell well is the poor support from 3rd party apps who adjust to the screen size.
@@TheOnlyEpsilonAlpha I am sure google is working on that and I personally wish they can make it happen because this idea actually seems the future of tablets and with Google's computational technology this thing can beat even the ipads someday
@@TheOnlyEpsilonAlpha the support is not as bad as you think, most apps work fine
What would be coolest (that I dont expect to happen) would be if they standardised the ability for android tablets to connect to the dock, so you could (eventually) just grab any android tablet and whack it on your dock - Would be such a neat hook to stay in the google ecosystem and have more android tablets in the home.
Zabardast dear
That's this if the Dock was USB C
Nice thought but I am sure google does not want that they are trying to make their own ecosystem not in apple way but in a Google way not hardware focused but software focused and they are going slowly and carefully towards their goal
Only issue is unlike apple, there are many manufacturers using the android platforms which results in different hardware designs, port placement etc. But this is why I appreciate Google making their own android devices. I feel Google is the best choice for a true, pure apple competitive eco system. I appreciate what Samsung does, but it's still a skin over the google/android platform.
That's not too farfetched, this seems like it can easily be replicated with Qi2 charging and a "docked mode" massively built into Android
Instead of comparing it to other tablets, I think it should basically be viewed as the ultimate Nest Hub Super Max. They currently have a Nest Hub, Nest Hub Max, and this version does all the same things with no limits. Does nearly everything a Hub Max can do, but you can take it anywhere in the house with you and continue whatever it was you started using voice controls while on the dock. Great idea!
He has to make money that’s why
He said the speakers were only on par with nest mini. Not very good at all
I've always hated that the Google home displays were all basically nerfed tablets with crappy OS and a modified Google Home speaker.
Finally, they unleashed the tablet (in more ways than one) and almost hit a home run w the dock. This is gen1, just think what we will have by the end of this year!
The Hub Max speakers are actually super loud compared to what he showed us on this model.
But it’s a whopping $499 device. If it was priced at $349 I would find it very attractive as a hub. At this price point, not so much.
One missing piece of your review is how this tablet fits and functions with the other devices from Google such as pixel phones, as an ecosystem. Good stuff.
Does Google pixel phones work better somehow with their tablets?
Nice 👍
Any specific notes on that? Just got this tablet and all my regular stuff likes photos, contacts and texts transferred over- but I'm curious as to what additional functionality there might be.
Guys, there are a ton of software features marques missed, (maybe because he hates google? 😒), anyway, you can connect your google phone (or any phone that uses chromecast) to it so you can transfer your content to the tablet seamlessly.
And since the tablet has native chrome cast support, you can cast your tablet content to anything else that uses chromecast (like a tv)!
@@thetechrealist I have noticed similar thing with most of his reviews on android devices, especially Google.
Can we just appreciate, in the speaker review part, how perfectly timed the switch to the hub speakers was. It was perfect
Couldn’t tell because of the AD break that happened right when he pulled it.
@@ronthorn3 That’s too bad, it was sooo satisfying 🤌
We are physically capable, yes, if that's what you're asking.
I enjoyed this review. Great job providing historical context and getting us to speed with this new hardware.
The problem for developers is that so few users are using their app on tablet that it's hard to justify the cost/effort. On the apps I have worked on with tablet support 98% of users were on phone. It's a chicken and egg situation.
No because many companies dont have a problem managing it on their websites. With countless window resizes from big to small and different dpis. Aswell as also having the website work well on screens as small as mobile.
There are tools to do this and it is done by many many companies.
Software development around Android is cumbersome still and that is a factor into why it's not optimized as well. Because this lack of app optimization goes beyond tablets and extends to their phones as well
@@Dogo.Ryou don't understand how development works
All apps should be responsive. I don't know how hard it is with swift and kotlin. But at least with Flutter it's really not that hard
@@AlphaSteam2 I used react native and a lot of our devs really focused on iOS during development because the android emulator was slow. After code completion, we would test with Android. So it ended up with more edge cases being caught during development with iOS
being able to cast to the tablet is actually potentially really cool depending on a few particulars of how it's implemented. We don't have a fancy car with screens in the back, so ability to set this up as a display in the back and then put on a movie for the kids on long road trips without having to constantly be reaching back there to adjust the volume (and then unlock it after they've accidentally locked it instead of turning the volume up) or picking out a different movie when they're done: GOLD
(Addendum: I realize this would require a wifi connection. For this we would either have a phone or mobile hotspot as the wifi connection as this is what we do now for streaming)
Your use case would probably require a Wifi connection unfortunately
I am quite sure that that use case wouldn't work as you think. Cast devices normally don't make their own hotspot/networks. So they use an already exisiting network to be available on. So inside of the house or on wifi it all works, but probably is not castable when in transit or outside. This could be 'hacked' by creating your own hotspot but I think that will drain and isn't easily accessible for everyone.
@@uponpaul how is hotspot not easily accessible for all people? It's just a tile up there. Connect the tablet once and put it to auto connect when seen, that's it.
Hot spot feature exists on your phone mate. What's not easily accessible about that?
Also, the kids in the back example is pretty good, nice 👍
SILVER.
Thank you for your review. Your perspective on this product is informative and appreciated.
I had a Pixel C (the first pixel tablet by google, based on pure android 7 then 8, back in 2015), and it was amazing for the time ! tegra x1 (same processor that the switch), great screen (2k ltps), a magnetic keyboard without any pins (only bluethooth). The only drawbacks were the lack of support (the gpu driver was nouveau driver, which were BAD, real bad) and google being google, so removing the widewine L1 support of the tablet. From what i understood at time, it was partially due to the jalibreak of the switch : the tablet was used to find ways of circumventing the security of the tegra x1 processor, and so it was not that secure after the release of the switch and the massive amount of tech to crack the console. Without that, i think I would be using it nowadays. It was such a great product.
I would have liked to the see the pixel C compared to this tablet, because it really was amazing.
I think this would be killer for a home theater/smart home remote for my setup. Instead of using IR repeaters and having a bunch or remotes for my AVR, Shield TV, Projector, and Blu-Ray player; having this on the console table behind the sofa would look nice and hopefully allow me to split screen 3-4 apps as soon as I unlock it.
That is such a niche demographic. Like yea sure if you have the money do it but, why not just get an iPad mini for $600 instead. It's powerful as hell too. I say this time and time again, android is limited by their processor. It's like having a Lamborghini with a Honda Civic engine. And not the Honda Civic with the laptop.
@@AHOBOINTEXAS You’re not wrong haha. Home theater enthusiasts are certainly one of the smallest subsets of the tablet market. But Androids flexibility makes it ideal for such a use case. A faster processor wouldn’t be much of a factor because the apps for Control4, Denon, Marantz, Yamaha, and the like are all very light. The iPad would certainly be capable. But being able to do things like setting an android tablet to multitask 3-4 apps at the same time upon unlock would be the killer feature here.
Main complaint: The fact that the dock is not it's own stand alone Google Hub is a bit of a deal breaker for me. I was looking to replace my kitchen Google Home with this. but I don't want to lose the ability to play music in the kitchen if I was to pick up the tablet to use it.
Second complaint: Wish there was a wall mount option. Would be awesome to mount this on the wall in a room to display things like calendars and grocery lists.
Saaammmeeee!
wall mount 😂😂😂 would you also like it to levitate and follow you around the house? 😂
@@alek.andonova wall mount is not that far fetched of an idea
Looking forward for the next version! I’d consider waiting to get that one for them to fix some of the issues you discussed
Nice 👍
Thanks for another great review, easy to understand and helpful. This is likely what I will buy to replace my Nest Hub (2nd) for my kitchen.
I'm really surprised more models/companies aren't offering a wall mount option like the Echo Show 15, it seems like such a brilliant solution to me.
They just probably never thought of it, matter of time til apple makes one
@@PhenomenalOne1000😂
Zabardast dear
If they tweaked it and basically had a nest audio you could use it as a speaker but have the dock connectors so you can still cast to the house but dock the tablet in any room! That would be perfect.
sounds like a Google home device...
Awesome review! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼
Kinda what I was expecting about it but I can tell you're telling the truth. I appreciate that.
MKB Thank you so much for this. I was really looking for the same and have been for some time. I also have had my own collection of Tabs too.Maybe if they keep going can only get Better.✌️
@1:55 that flip was nerve wrecking!
You're watching MKBHD not Linus Tech Tips lol
I could see this in my work setup, especially if I can cast to it. Ideally if Chrome figured out how to use this as an extra monitor that'd be fantastic.
Glad you covered the app optimizing subject. I was thinking about getting one but will stick with my Vastking KingpPad M10 10.36 for now. Sound Cloud is optimized on it. It only has Android 11 but it's working fine still.
I really liked… no, loved my Nexus 7 tablet. It was lightweight, great on battery, and ran vanilla Android so wasn’t weighed down by manufacturer or carrier bloatware. Unfortunately it went “missing” from my Vegas hotel room a couple years later, but is still to this day the nicest tablet I ever owned for just how affordable it was at the time.
I wish Google would give it a serious comeback and the 2nd gen Pixel Tablet may just be what I’ve been waiting for.
I know you mentioned you wouldn't use the cast feature but we found it really useful. Like I'll be listening to music or watching one of your videos in one room on my phone and then I'll cast it towards the nearest hub screen while I work on something else. And my mom straight up casts Netflix on it while she cooks hahah. Super nifty.
I see this being a decent addition to the home. I think Google has realized that they can't compete with the iPad at the moment. That said, I love my Galaxy tablet!
Yeah the Galaxy S8 tablets are where it's at at the moment. Even iPad kinda sucks by comparison. You get the best software and features, and also some of the best hardware and at a good price.
@@marcuscoster6529Nah you are trippin'...
@@Csongor_Radai good argument apple shill
When I'm at home, my go to device is a tablet (Galaxy S7FE). I use it way more than my phone because of the screen size. Watching youtube on 12 in screen is godsend, for example. Some apps are terrible, just like Marques noted. I just use the Web version of them. Problem solved.
@@marcuscoster6529 nah the app situation is still crappy on the S8, iPads dont have a competiton right now
The pixel table looks so cool and great video man :]
Loved the mention of the profile switcher, that has been a part of Pixel devices since the Pixel 1 lol
There is a reversal expected reason is that AMZT66 is made by Amazon and pretty hot
The Chromecast as a target is pretty smart actually, you can easily use it as a secondary display for your laptop
Ohhhhh genius
I preorder it because of that feature to dump my second monitor for my laptop AND gain tablet that isn't work laptop. I wish it was usbc display as an option, but that's asking for stars+moon.
I was thinking I could use that for my daughter (less than 5). She can watch her videos. We still have full control since it's being used as a Chromecast. Even that feels a bit weird though lol
The extra screen is a better idea
You can cast something on windows ?, I think you only shoot video to it not a whole desktop
@@vandeljasonstrypper6734 yeah it's actually better than on Android which restricts it to only mirroring(idk things like dex don't work with it)
It works like a proper wireless display
This is always what those Nest Hub smart home displays should have been. Was always amazed when I reviewed the Home Hub that you couldn't just pickup the tablet and do stuff with it - the whole device was even designed to look like you should be able to do that.
And quite honestly I'd buy one on the spot if I hadn't bought a Samsung tablet just six months ago (which has a really nice case and pen).
Zabardast
@@edwardchester1 I have similar dilemma. I already have a Nest Hub but I need a replacement tablet as my 1st gen iPadAir no longer being updated and I can't use some of the apps on it. So it's either getting a new tablet and have it next to the Nest Hub with a separate cable or replace everything with this new all-in-one. I hope there will be some holiday sales on this.
mind was blown when he pulled out the magnet paper... like woah never seen that before lol
I think that if they stick with the connector they could come out with an upgraded speaker to buy separately, or if they make a higher end tablet they could include the magnets and pins so it's compatible with the dock. It would lead the way to a really cool tablet ecosystem that is very different than what apple is doing
I'd love for Google to make a compatible wall mount dock so it could live on the wall for smart features but could detach easily to be used as a tablet.
@@heybravo23 that would be really cool!
Nice 👍
@@heybravo23yes I would love this. I'd much rather wall mount it than have it on a countertop.
I think it's an experiment that Google is trying perform to see if this idea works that's why they didn't added crazy specs so that the masses could go and buy and they can know if this idea is worth or not but I really hope that they succeed
AMZT66 gang in the house! Thanks for the breakdown!
scam
Why is this top comment. Also Marques isn't a crypto channel lol
I've had mine a couple of days and really like it. Regarding bass, Google or any manufacturer really needs to make a smart sub-woofer.
I actually picked mine up right after I got my P7P and it's quite pleasant to have around the house.
i’m surprised no one is comparing the Pixel Tablet to the Pixel Slate from a couple years ago. it’s funny how everyone has completely forgotten about that.
Because it was shit it did run slow even the i7 version did run slow google showed and told every android developer that android tablets where dead and that chrome os was the future with the pixel slate and now they all in with android tablets
People should! I still got mine the i7 version and it's amazing! They updated it and it works amazing
A better comparison is the Pixel C Tablet. Same SOC that's in the Nintendo switch.
I just love how you always deliver the pros & cons in a very precise way. Good work sir.
Great review. The lack of app optimization killed it for me. I already have a hub max. Thanks bro!
So the reason it's a google cast target is so you can add it to groups. I just figured this out.
I have my Chomecast playing music on a "group" that includes my two stereos and a bluetooth speaker. I set the Pixel dock in the hallway to control everything and set it as a target, included it in the group, and now the hallway has "filler" music between the two stereos. Plus, I can hear what I'm casting. It works really well.
I had a Nexus 10 back in the day. I loved that thing, but ultimately wore out the flash chip from flashing custom ROMs so much. Believe it or not, Google DID have a very worthy successor to this, the Pixel C, which is what I have now. It's quite old, but still holds up damn well, rocking the same SOC that the Nintendo Switch would eventually use. Why then was the Pixel C a flop? Because they tried to take on the Surface Pro with it, which is a completely different product. It cannot compete. But as an Android tablet, it's amazing! And the keyboard was super innovative in its design, something I wish Google or anyone else would carry forward to newer tablets. Interestingly it attaches via strong magnets similar to how the new Pixel Tablet connects to its dock. (It also allows it to stick to a fridge or a car)
I still have my tab 3 7" and tab S 8.4". I still haven't found something to replace the tab S with, 2560x1600 on a 8.4 inch amoled was insane back in the day. But sadly yt 1440p no longer works and neither does netflix in anything more than 720p
Also still rocking the Pixel C, such an amazing device.
it's showing its age but it's the only on the market with a stock Android OS (I hate overlay with all my being)
I kind of wanted a proper successor, maybe the Pixel Tablet will be it ?
I had a Nexus 10 and it was an okay tablet, but it was still a play toy and never compare to anything close to an Apple Tablet.
I'd be pretty keen to buy one of these, though the advice of waiting for the gen 2 is something I'll def be sticking to
Looking foward to get one
This is super smart. I may have a niche situation but I currently use a tablet as a hub. I'm bluetoothed to a home speaker system so don't need the speaker but the combo of a dock, a functional tablet (as opposed to these useless nest hubs) but also the ability to fully run google home/nest, unlike some older tablets, is great.
3:20 Definitely a missed opportunity. Nobody likes barrel connectors, just make it type C
So today Amazon came up with *AMZT66* and nothing has been in that direction since 2009, it's the last hope and if you think I'm just spamming you clearly didn't get what they are doing and why, live in the rabbit hole or don't
no they didn't. Amazon has done no such thing and you and the rest of the stolen accounts you use are just trying to pump and dump yet another new token that will get a few low information and desperate people to buy it, leaving them with essentially valueless junk.
good grief, imagine how good the crypto market could be without scummy scammers, boosters and general grifters in it. I guess that ship has sailed a long time ago.
I miss the sidekick. But I guess a sliding phone with a full keyboard is what I really want.
thx, waited for your review before ordering once :)
The Nexus 7 was the only Google Tablet worth its price. I loved mine back in the day.

@@9ico this ain't Twitter bruh
My favourite tablet is the Asus Nexus 7 2(2013). Personally i think every tsblet even cheap ones should have precise pen input.
What I was more amazed was the magnet paper than any technology in the video 😂😂
The biggest advantage to a home docking station/tablet from google is the ability to manage smart home devices and the ability to display google information from your phone to the docking station (i.e. calendars and reminders). Also to handoff information from the docking station to the phone when leaving the house (i.e. Google home what is the traffic like going to work) telling and showing you route and traffic info on the home dock then automatically sending that query to your google maps… on ANY phone that has google home and google maps downloaded, installed, and signed in to the SAME google account on the home docking display.
Good to see a fellow Relay user at MKBHD! Sad, that it's all going to end very soon :/
I'm really excited to get mine. I think Google safely played it smart here, entering the tablet market in a more cost-effective way while giving us something unique. Plus, the software looks pretty smooth for a mid-range device. I bought one because I want to support this in hopes of the line maturing into a Pro offering at some point in the future.
@@iceman315 nope but I'm on 3 hours of sleep so probably
@@steve_EO get some sleep bro
You’re weird this device is cheap and pointless
@@EtherealGoddess_Ent I'm soooooo weird 😂
As a pixelbook pro owner (the foldable google chromebook/table that was discontinued), I am really looking forward to some traditional app upgrades for the tablet UX.
I think the biggest thing is that the table's screen is made to be in landscape mode, instead of the portrait mode, which means tiny laptops and handheld laptops and handheld console-like PCs can use that screen instead of dealing with installing things in portrait mode and then rotating the screen to be in landscape mode in the OS.
Fun fact: The first gen google nexus 7 was also able to have multiple accounts on it with its own Home Screen, apps and everything! I had one and my sisters and I had our own accounts 7:17
it is funny that 8:33 he changed time with his hands
Love how the time on the tablet stays correct to the video timeline
4:59 The perfectly synced drop, I'm sure that was taken in more than one take. How did no one else notice it yet?
I would love to see a comparison between Android and iOS apps for tablets. Good video, thanks!!
Would you recommend it for study purposes? Like doing reading and accessing slides, etc?
Thank you for the update AMZT66 is done right, and waiting is part of the process,
Boy I've been waiting for this review 😁
What's the title of the song heard in the intro? (love what you're doing man ❤)
Amazing Vids Mann i am on your side KEEP IT UP
Now when you mention Amazons *AMZT66* that clearly fits the niche and is worth more than ever? Their project is probably the best thing done in the 2000-years and it just began, so nothing to worry at all for longterm
oh Amazon uses AI to write the comments now
Where is justice? Where is equality? Where is balance to live? Nowhere to be found unless it comes with *AMZT66*
scam
I LOVED the Nexus 7. Best tablet experience I ever had. Amazing. Lost in at a random house party in the Bronx. My girl started throwing up in the bathroom, put the thing down, helped her outside and spontaneously decided to call a cab, got her home and realized I left it in the bathroom. I think about that tablet more than I do her…..lol
Love your reviews!
It's a decent addition to a smart home, but I would love if it would have a flat wall mount variant.
Dock should have worked as a google home mini with voice assistance and should have worked as a Bluetooth speaker. Even if they release this as a accessory later on I think the users will buy into it.
Such a missed opportunity to allow the base to be a nest speaker, that would also incentivise people to buy multiple and move the tablet around rooms using the empty dock as a speaker
And the docks by themselves should be somewhere around $75 for it to be meaningful to buy multiple of
I agree. especially for the $130 that they ask for it.
And/or a wifi range extender.
@@peteannson1098 the whole idea of a dock is to put tablet in a visible and accessible place while its not in use. Why would you put a wifi range extender on your bedside stand or on your work table or on your living room table or on your kitchen island?
My Nexus 7 2013 model with Android 4.4 was amazing back in the day
I still have the 2012 NExus 7 that I preordered right when they announced it, using it as a stats display for my PC with Pitikapp
3:32 Yeey magnet paper cameo!
I'll be picking up one of these for sure. As someone who has google home mini's in each room, as well as a bunch of google TV's, and home hubs, this makes perfect sense. Also having kids be able to switch to their profile is an awesome feature. And at a price that is fair. I guess I am the target demographic.
Zabardast
I was thinking about it during the video and you said it at the end, this would be really attractive if the speakers were better (on device and in dock), it had a 90 hz display, maybe OLED, and the full power of that tensor chip. ~$600? I am not a tablet user, I discovered that during my Nexus 7 days. But I think google can absolutely nail the mid-premium market by making this device just a bit nicer and feature rich. I do think a large portion of it is the app support, that was my gripe with early ipad, the big iphone apps looked horrible on ipad.
8:57 tablet quietly in background doing what it was simply made to do while getting roasted 🥲
Thanks M.B. ~ helpful
I was looking forward to seeing how this tablet would turn out and if it would be a suitable replacement for my Tab S7+, which I think is too large, but that turned out to not be the case. Large bezels, no OLED and just 60 Hz refresh rate, for a minimum of roughly $730 (here in Sweden). Not a price I'm willing to pay for those specs.
Yea looking more likely I'll be upgrading to the upcoming tab s9
This what I find strange. The target user seems to be people who want a smart hub that doubles as a workable tablet, but that seems like such a niche group. Maybe I’m wrong.
European price seems a little out of line imo.
It's just software someone should port it
@@loansharks47 Yeah the price in Sweden is bonkers, not worth it at all unfortunately
Dudes you into *AMZT66* or too lazy as usual?
I hear you're coming to Toronto Marques? May see you there
I like the magnetic stand/speaker
Yes, yes, yes... to making a premium version of this!! 👊🏻
The concept is so good that a higher quality version needs to happen!
I love how Marques is doing his bit for the Reddit community with the Relay Pro showcase!
3:24 - The "pins that retract" a little bit when you touch them" are the same style as the FitBit Sense charger. The springs on the pin will break causing the pin to fall into the charger, rendering the charger useless. Huge design flaw. my fitbit charger pins fail in about 6 months, im on my 3rd charger now
Multi-user support is KEY! Thank you for covering that!
Hope it doesn't discontinue like Nexus tablet, good luck Google! Was waiting for this review! 🙌 Great video as always! 👍
This is exactly what I want in a tablet. Basically a detachable nest hub max, actual apps (the ones I use work fine), decent video chat, and support for multiple users.
I just wish I hadn't bought an iPad last year.
Just sell the iPad!
This thing doesn’t compare to an iPad
@@chrismichaelis7259it is not trying to yet
Got mine today. Very smooth device, testing it out to see if it can replace my Nest homes
MKBHD reviews are always spot-on!!!

@elfrjz 😮
If they continue to develop it an continue in that direction, the Pixel tablet can be a success similar to Pixel phones.
😂😂😂😂😂
Pixel phone sucks
No 1 use them

Perfect for my home assistant setup. Since I have a home made of bricks, it's kind of messy to try and mount a tablet and supply it with power. I can set this on a coffee table or closet.
The speaker accessory reminds me of the OG HTC One and the optional bass module
I miss my Nexus 7 2013, that thing was peak Android tablet. Great screen, respectable battery life, actually usable processor and a small enough size that apps formatted fine on it
I still use one in my 04' STi with Timur's custom kernel and build to super deep sleep when the key is off. The people that I bring company cars to for glass replacement still use one for square payments.
I'm not sure if they can fight apple in the 10 inch arena but I think they might be able to undercut the mini at the 8 inch size. I have a mini 6 despite being an android and Windows user. It's just such a great tablet to actually take with you and do things on. Apple pricing it similarly to the iPad air leaves room for Google to get in there and throw some punches.
I really wish there was a video focused small tablet:
2:1 aspect ratio, 4K, bright color accurate OLED, front facing speaker, and thin bezels at least on the non-speaker sides.
The switch user options were also used by Sony Xperia phone series.
Something im very confused about is why tablets have to have 2 or more cameras now, I mean, people are not using their tablets camera enough to warrant adding 2 or 3 cameras, I think the fact that the Pixel Tablet only has one camera makes a lot of sense, great way to bring down the cost
Because plenty of $150-200 tablets only have one camera. Once you start looking at spending $800-1200 on a tablet it better have a decent camera
Depends, I use the iPad a lot for interior design at work, and the ultrawide helps me a lot in smaller apartments when I have to calculate distance / take pictures .etc
@@toptiertech7291 decent or not, that depends a lot on the photo post-processing and not the hardware.
It should only have a front camera
@@maxhard0n nah, that would be so inconvenient when you need it to scan QR codes or documents
The way MKBHD talk about tech rly reminded me of jimmythehighroller’s hot take serie
7:30 my Sony Xperia z3 Compact from years ago had that feature. It was helpful since i lend my phone to people to borrow.
Going back 10 years is not sounding old, it is giving people context on stuff that simply has been a thing for a long time now. A lot of reviewers should do that more often because there are a lot of us who are tech savvy and are old enough to remember 2010. That’s plain old good information, so please never hold back on going back like that
Nice 👍
Well said.
