On the downside, the lack of a headphone jack is galling.
Google is also promising OS updates through at least June 2026 and security updates for two years beyond that at minimum. You should get a full day of use out of the tablet before you need to recharge the 5,000mAh battery. The performance is fairly snappy thanks to the Tensor G2 chipset, while the 2,560 x 1,600 LCD display is decent enough (although being limited to a 60Hz refresh rate is a drag). The case that you can get for free with the 128GB model handily has a kickstand. That said, the dock perhaps doesn't position the tablet at the most flattering angle for video calls. Thanks to Google Assistant, you'll be able to do much of this hands free. In this mode, you can use the tablet to stream music and video, control and monitor smart home devices, display your favorite photos and more.
Being able to plop the tablet onto the dock (which has a built-in speaker) is a big selling point as that effectively turns the tablet into a smart display. We gave the Pixel Tablet a score of 85 in our review in June.
