It's crazy that very little people talked about the stylus support!
I noticed MKBHD put up a video about this tablet so I did a search to see who else made a video about it. Clicked on this one specifically because i noticed the stylist on the thumbnail. 👏🏽
I literally didn't know that existed for this
That's because Google is way behind the times when it comes to stylus support. Android tablet are practically irrelevant these days as there's really no point in mentioning stylus support unless your Samsung.
Should have packed it in the box like Galaxy Tab.
I didn't even know it had a stylus... That is one of the key selling points for me as an artist. This looks like a decent alternative to the iPad. I have a Samsung Tab S6 Lite and loved it for how affordable it was with S-Pen support.
Edit: $500 is a bit steep when I could buy an iPad Mini 6 or other Samsung Tablets that come with the S-Pen.
BEST review for this device! You show things in detail that others simply aren’t, particularly pen support
I'm watching this video on my pixel tablet and am loving it. Speakers are loud and clear with good balance and I love the porcelain colour. Fits out room astetic perfectly. Lol. Thanks for the vid
The charging dock is sheer genius
It is also multifunctional which is awesome. Never seen something like this with most mainstream tablets
It's not multifunctional when the tablet isn't attached. Basically, it becomes an expensive paperweight. Wish Google would have allowed for regular audio casting functionality when the tablet is disconnected. @SomeoneMagical_8
This is the product I was waiting for years! I love 2in1 devices.
Just found your channel. This is the best review of this device by far! So comprehensive yet concise. Great visuals too! Easy subscribe.
Makes me wish that Samsung continued developing their dock/ambient mode system
Your channel and Lisa at Mobile Tech Review are the only two sites I watch for product launches. Keep up the great work, very informative review.
Thank you for talking about the stylus! I actually brought a stylus a month ago in anticipation and got my Pixel tablet yesterday! I absolutely love it!
Hey, what is the stylus you are using? Is it working perfect?
@@RicardoCantor I'm using the
Penoval USI 2.0 Stylus. It's working very well. I've mainly used it in the Sketchbook app. It has a little lag but still very usable. As I understand it, the lag is dependent on the app and not necessarily the pen. I going to also try it in Infinity Painter and Squid but haven't gotten to it yet. Overall, I'm happy with pen capabilities on the Pixel tablet. FYI, I have used Wacom tablets, the MS Surface with pen, various pen displays, I own a Huion Tablet and I also have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8 with a stylus. I don't find the Pixel Tablet with a stylus to be any better or worse then the above mention. I can find pros and cons with all of them but overall they still work for most people's workflows.
Your videos are so comfortable to watch. I like the energy! Thanks for this review.
Glad you like them!
@@Thao heyyyy thanks! 😊
This is such a concise review. I ll get this for my office
Such a great and comprehensive review. I am loving my tablet.
Best review on this tablet yet👍🏾
Good review. Good summary of features. I didn't know that it supported a stylus. Thank you.
I can always trust your reviews Thao 🙌🏾
You perfectly describe the device.
Other youtubers review are horrendous about this device.
Thanks for pointing out the various *_universal_*_ accessories_ that are compatible w/ the Pixel Tablet. Myriad options for BT & USI add-ons are welcome.
Nice review keep up the good work
I really wanted this device but in the UK it is £599 for the 128GB! I just bought a 2TB M1 iPad Pro from Costco for £800 and they are doing the 128GB M1 Pro fot the same price as this tablet! I'll have to stick to my Google Home Max and iPad Pro for now.
The speaker dock part is so cool! And included in the price!
Hi Thao, I'm a big Vietnamese fan of google pixel. Thanks for the great video!
I love your reviews/videos!
Is it possible to request some "whats on my s23 ultra" or other videos about the s23 ultra? 🙈 i used at the time your videos on the note 9/note 10 videos alot and rewatched them alot as it helped me out alot and made me love my phone even more!
have a great day ✨️ and i love all your videos so it's just something i hope to see 😊
Very interested in this, I think the price is just a little bit higher than it should be though.
Hey! Great job on the review and for what it's intended for. It looks like a great device. It wouldn't be for me but I think a lot of people would actually enjoy this
I received mine today... and upgrade for my Google Nest Hub my son loves so much
By far the best review!! Beginning to detach from Apple. I feel like it’s needed. Thanks for the review!!! ✊🏾🙏🏽
finally a good review, thank you ✅✅..
Hey, love the keyboard. Please share a link hey, would really love one.
Great video.
Tbh looks different enough from the ipad Pro I have to seem interesting. I think someone like my uncle who uses a lot of smart home devices might benefit from this. Someone like me who does digital art or plays high performance games might want to stick with some other tablets. But for basic use as was said in the video, it would do just fine.
I do love the concept of the dock they designed. You can use it as a stand or a display or even a DJ device at a party. You can dock it in your kitchen to watch cooking shows or view recipes. I bet you could even play games using Bluetooth controllers.
Yours was the first video I clicked for this review! It was fantastic as usual!
Just bought mine and what a breath of fresh air , I have an iPad 10th gen which I've regretted buying for some time , so that can go now . Well done Google
Damn that transition to speaker was awesome
Lol I assume the embargo was just lifted at midnight California time. I got all these tablet notifications at once 😂
Oh menn..your english is really good☺☺
I love how the best reviewers in the game on RUclips. Simply do not do this device justice in their reviews. Like MKBHD spends way too much time talking about a whole bunch of stuff that doesn't matter but doesn't even tell you everything the device can do. And then everybody parrots what he says. It's so annoying! Thank you for a real review of the pixel tablet!
Hey Google, add SD Card support on next version (assuming you don't quit again)
Thao, great review. I actually want this for the purpose of a digital frame as well. Just this tablet has bonus features over a "basic" digital frame.
perfection! Your video is perfection
Seeing all your Bruce Lee references here :) I like your channel even more now.
It's not a REAL review until I hear "Thao here!!" 😅
Good review. Hope all is well with you and yours!
Extra props for Poweramp!!
It's awesome! Get one, it's perfect for the living room!!!
Damn...Your review makes me want to have one
Hi Thao, can you please do a review for Blackview Tab 16?
What stylus did you use?
I wanted not too expensive but decent Android tablet and after all I ended up with buying Pixel Tablet. No regrets at all. It’s not a flagship device but for home use it’s perfect.
P.S.
I’ve been using this tablet for 2 weeks now and I have Penoval stylus as well and only because of this video I found out that it can be stored on Tablet by magnet. 😮
would you recommend it for students particularly for note taking?
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?
What is the name of the stylus you demo in your video?
Keep note USI 2.0 stylus pens don't have/have worse pressure sensitivity, tilt sensitivity and palm rejection. So, it's much better for note-taking than actual drawing.
Thanks for the great video, btw can you tell which smaller tablet you used to chrome cast to tablet?
Not a tablet, that was a Pixel 7 Pro
The adjustability of the angle seems like a necessity to me
Can you please review xiaomi pad 6❤
best review!!!
What keyboard were you using at 2:25?
Excellent video!!! Just wanna know: what is the stylus you are using?
Penoval USI 2.0 Stylus
@@Thao 😜 thanks!!!
Shoutout MKBHD, but I gotta watch Thao's Pixel Tablet review first. ✌🏾🙂
This review nailed it. Aa long as you use it for what its meant to be its perfect. These are my uses for mine. Ebooks (the ratio is odd BUT its not as distracting as its been made out go be. Esp with the android 14 update which lets you adjust screen size ratio) music, alarm , social media and movies. Not to mention some really basic photo editing. If im gonna hardcore edit i got my macbook.
I dont game so i dont need insane specs. It fills my needs and its nice not having to take a $3k macbook to rhe coffee shop to work on a blog and check stock prices.
Google did right by this and updates til 2028 help its cause
Oh and if anyone is reading this as of 3/25/24 its currently on sale for 399 (128gb) and i believe it was 479 for the 256.
So are the speakers worse or better than the nest max hub? because i thought it was going to have better speakers than the max hub...
I saw you use Lumafusion on that tablet. I was wondering how it runs on the Google Pixel Tablet if it runs smoothly or if it's laggy.
Your new subscriber here. Can you review the Lenovo tab extreme. It has a display output so you can use it as a secondary display in your Windows or macbook, which no other tablet manufacturer has. So you don't need the Super display you mentioned in your previous post. 🥺 Please review it and give your feedback thank you and will am your loyal fan.
What is the name of the note taking app used in the video
Awesome 👌 thanks Thao 👍 ❤️😎
Google need to make this !4.5 inches. My elderly parents needs something like this. Just bigger.
Can anyone provide link for that amazing wallpaper??
Please make a video on. ZTE nubia z50 ultra 5g.Please please please
Should have been 90Hz screen at least.
yeah huge deal breaker for me. i cancelled my preorder because of that.
Not common on midrange tablets. Average users can't even notice.
@@bradavon OnePlus is 120hz. Lenovo pro is $300 and has 120hz with external display out.
Look the perfect setup in the end: I hope Google really launch a desktop mode.
@Thao Can I connect to a TV o monitor with a USB C - HDMI Cable?
Once I get the 10% cash back for the Pixel Fold from Google. I will be getting this tablet.
Great multifunctional tablet. Let's hope Google doesn't kill the nest hub
Relieved to know you can use a stylus. Can you tell me what was the model of pen you used?
Penovo USI 2.0, should be on Amazon
@@Thao thanks!
Can I ask your wireless keyboard recommendations please?
Logitech K380 pairs nicely and isn't overly expensive
@@Thao tysm xx
What stylus are you using? I tried a USI 2.0 from Lenovo with no luck
Penoval USI 2.0 stylus
Link to the stylus??? pls and ty!
Added to pinned comment
The white tablet looks so good, shame it's not at least 90 hz....
60hz screen is really good to keep longer battery life
Can the dock get used as a stand and speaker when not plugged? Does it have a rechargeable battery?
No, It can't be used as a standalone speaker. No battery in the dock as far as I can tell.
@@Thao hey, thanks for the reply! I meant if the dock could be used with the tablet attached outdoors without being plugged. That would be a HUGE feature...
$500 is WAY too much for this. Keep your dock, Google. Sell me the tablet for $300.
Did you watch the review? It would just be slated as a poor android tablet.
The reasons why Android tablets failed to gain significant market share compared to Apple's iPad are multifaceted and include the following:
1. Lack of Optimization: Android tablets lacked the optimization and standardization of hardware and software that Apple's iPad had. Manufacturers used different hardware configurations and customized software interfaces, leading to a lack of consistency and compatibility across different Android tablets.
2. App Ecosystem: Another reason for the lack of success of Android tablets was the app ecosystem. Developers prioritized developing apps for the iPad, which had a larger user base, leading to a lack of optimized apps for Android tablets.
3. Price: Apple's iPad offered a premium experience, and Android tablets couldn't compete in terms of price. Manufacturers tried to compete by offering lower-priced tablets, but this often resulted in poor quality and user experience.
4. Marketing: Apple's marketing strategy for the iPad was highly effective, and its brand recognition and reputation as a premium product were already well-established. Android tablet manufacturers struggled to create a similar buzz or perception of their products.
5. Lack of Updates: Android tablets were often slow to receive updates, which resulted in a poor user experience. This issue was compounded by the fragmentation of the Android ecosystem, with different manufacturers using different versions of Android and offering varying levels of support for updates.
Overall, a combination of factors contributed to the failure of Android tablets to gain significant market share and compete effectively against the iPad.
How are you? did you get cold?
Excited to see it practical,who knows,will I get in my region,Bangladesh?
That stylus linked in the comment is USI 1.0. Doesn't the device only support 2.0?
Wrong link - I'm sorry about that. Fixed
All tech reviewers upload at the same time? Pretty sure it was an embargo lol
Google could make this a 7" or 8" and they'd sell like crazyyyy
Can you drop a link to the stylus pen? Or help with the full name
Penoval USI Stylus
Yeah that's the one, but make sure you get the 2.0, I believe USI 1.0 won't work properly
From this review it seems like it falls a little bit short in just about every category.
I own a nest hub second generation and am perfectly content with it, unless.
Google offers A trade in Which
I can swap 4 this tablet.
Im not sure this even competes with the now discontinued Pixel Slate.
Only reason i haven't gotten the tablet yet is cuz every video i watched makes it seem like it can only be charged by the hub and not cable which would make portability useless. The speaker is also nice which is another thing these other guys made seem to be a useless feature
Sinto dizer mas essa DOCK não é tão original assim ! 😂; Pois em 2017 o LG G PAD IV PLUS estava lá com sua mágica dock tentando inovar com sua fórmula original.
Ou seja CRÉDITOS À LG MOBILE !! 👏👏👏👏👏👐
How well did LumaFusion run on the tablet?
Works fine for the occasional edit
First comment :) been a fan since yours since the early days and haven't had a chance to watch your videos as often SO I decided to leave the first comment 😊
Are you Vietnamese?
Love these videos but cringed every time she mentioned the ipads as the standard to compare this to
It's surprising how far behind Apple is when it comes to multiple user accounts on iPads.
Slightly better than Google pixel slate 😂😂
Can you buy this tablet separate from the speaker?
Yes
❤❤❤
What game are you playing 🤔
