The Google Pixel Tablet made its official debut at Google I/O 2023, arriving as the company's first-ever tablet and pairing with a dedicated charging speaker dock at a starting price of $499. Available in three finishes — Porcelain, Hazel, and Rose — this device brings together Google's custom silicon, a large 11-inch display, and a unique home-hub experience that sets it apart from the competition.
Google Pixel Tablet Specs and Features
Under the hood, the Google Pixel Tablet runs on the same Tensor G2 chip paired with the Titan M2 security chipset that powers the Pixel 7 series. The tablet ships with 8GB of RAM and your choice of 128GB or 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage, giving you plenty of room for apps, media, and files.
The display is a 10.95-inch LCD panel with a 16:10 aspect ratio, a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, and a peak brightness of 500 nits. Google has added Gorilla Glass 3 protection and an anti-smudge coating to keep the screen looking clean. The panel also supports USI 2.0 stylus input for those who want to sketch or take notes.

Design and Build Quality
Google built the Pixel Tablet with an aluminum enclosure finished with a nano-ceramic coating that makes it comfortable to grip and resistant to fingerprints. Security is handled by a side-mounted fingerprint scanner integrated directly into the power button — a clean, intuitive placement familiar to Pixel phone users.
For audio, the tablet sports a quad-speaker setup with three microphones, making it well suited for video calls, streaming, and hands-free Google Assistant commands. Chromecast built-in lets you cast content from other devices to the Pixel Tablet with ease.
Camera
Both the front and rear cameras feature an 8MP sensor. The front-facing camera has an f/2.0 aperture and an 84-degree field of view, which should make video calls feel natural and wide enough to include multiple people in the frame.
Charging Dock and Smart Home Hub
One of the most distinctive features of the Pixel Tablet is its charging speaker dock, included in the $499 bundle. When placed on the dock, the tablet transforms into a smart display and speaker for the home. This turns the Pixel Tablet into something far more versatile than a standard tablet — it doubles as a hub for Google Assistant routines, music playback, and smart home control when you are not using it on the go.
Battery Life
The Pixel Tablet houses a 27Wh battery that Google claims can last up to 12 hours on a single charge. Combined with the dock's passive charging capability, the battery should stay topped up whenever the tablet is resting at home.
Price and Availability
The Google Pixel Tablet is priced at $499 and went on pre-order at the Google Store and select retailers across the US, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Japan, and Australia. General sale started on June 20. You can browse more devices like this in our brand section.
