The company's first tablet in years brings a new processor and a new hub, but if you're not integrated into the company's ecosystem, it might not be for you.
I've been breaking out of my usual wheelhouse and getting hands-on with Google's new Pixel Tablet for the last few days. It's in stores now, andfor the base 128 GB model. You can also spring for the $599 256 GB model, and at only $100 more, I think it's a worthwhile upgrade to double your storage capacity, depending on your use case.
But in my few days of testing, it seems like this might have been by design. And there's really one kind of consumer Google had in mind for this product, and if that's you, this tablet may be worth the price.Hub Mode, Hub Mode, Hub Mode. If you're a consumer who's already enmeshed in Google's ecosystem and are interested in a Google Home-compatible array of smart home devices, the Pixel Tablet may just become your new best friend.
It's the kind of feature that works well if you already have Google Home devices. From the lock screen, you can view cameras, tweak lighting and adjust your blinds, if you're one of the lucky folks with smart window treatments. If someone rings your Nest or Ring doorbell, it'll show you who's at the door as well.
I opted for Google's dynamic on-screen clock in the Prime skin. The clock faces are beautiful and manage to be visually engaging without being a needless distraction.
