Every week is a new “smallest steam os pc” or something else. Makes it actively harder to know which videos are new from a glance without scoping the date.
That's how technology should work. While it makes the statement a bit redundant, it says a lot more on the equipment he doesn't make that statement for.
iPad pro is like $1,000 here. That's for the lower spec ones in the US. Might be able to get a refurbished 2018 iPad pro at that price. Problem with the iPad though is no side loading, no revanced, no new pipe, no f droid.... If I can't download any app I want I feel like I don't even own it
@@michaelcorcoran8768 you can side load it is just tedious, ‘new pipe, no f droid’ android apps. There are iOS alternatives. Personally I prefer it over my tab a7, the performance on that was terrible.
Even tho iPad becomes obsolete after its support final date it can especially the m1 and m2 iPad run even rogue sqaudron full speed at high res and you see he just said he hasn’t found a android that can handle that game too well.
@@oo--7714erformance on the newest iPads is insane. It’s definitely better than the iPhones at least but even iPhone 13 sideloaded with GameCube can run basically almost any game even upscaled fine which many androids cant mind you I’m a huge android fan. I prefer it cause it’s easier to emulate but if you got a windows pc or mac definitely try to sideload on a iPhone
$399? The darn thing is $499 for the 128GB model, and $599 for the 256, as of 6/23/23 11:07AM Eastern. At that MSRP, you're trading the functionality of SD card/SIM card usability of competing model tablets for a charging dock with a speaker in it. At $399, this might be an acceptable trade-off, but I think at this price it's asking too much.
1:54 completely disagree on "tablets should have thinner bezels" it's a tablet, not a phone. we need to be able to properly hold the thing. the tablet bezel sizes we have now are ideal imo
You know I expected the typical tech reviewers to put out reviews on the Pixel Tablet, but I didn't expect to actually see one from a channel I'm actually subscribed to. As someone who worked on this product for the past couple years, its awesome to see it show up here, I'm happy to hear you liked it!
Price of this in the UK is pretty eye-watering; £600 for the 128GB model, and £700 for 256GB. Could get yourself a reasonable gaming laptop for that sort of money!
@@elijahB they won’t never do a 7 inch tablet they don’t even make 7 inch tablets anymore if they are it’s gonna be 8 inches or higher bc most phones are 7 inches just bout that’s why google will never make a 7 inch tablets again
@@user-dz3sq9bf6s very true, especially with foldables we'll never see them again. But! 2012-2014 era was like the golden age for these things, I loved them!
Yeah but it has $130 value add with the speaker. Really it's like a $370 tablet with the $130 doc/speaker value add. You can buy those docks separately for $130. It's definitely not a productivity machine, it's a two-in-one consumption device / home hub. But I kind of like that they're zigging when everyone else is zagging. Not going to buy it, I have a Galaxy tablet still only 2 years old but this is a genuinely unique product that doesn't just seem redundant to every other tablet
@@Bilal.Hussain.Shaikh it's not as bad as you're framing it, in fact g2 is more stable than 8g1 and exynos 2200. p11 sounds like the worst alternative cuz xiaomi pad and one plus pad exists if you need better performance, p11 has bad software, even worse performance and isn't worth it for the price
@@sleepyhead7732 I don't know who told you P11 Pro Gen 2 has bad software, what ive seen, no one has complained about Lenovo Tab P11 Pro Gen 2 on performance nor having a bad software, and yes tensors g2 chip is bad as I claimed, in the middle of playing games you will experience stutters and lags games like genshin impact and emulations on few hours of gameplay
I really like this. Performance seems fine and I like Google's flavor of Android. I have an older Android tablet running A11 which I use quite a bit and I can confirm Google has been making an effort lately to give us better tablet-optimized apps. I'm not thrilled with the unrelenting pinkness of stuff on screen that should be white, but, I'm assuming that's due to your camera not handling a white screen, with white bezels, and a white desk/wall all that well. Kind of like when you're out shoveling snow and after a bit everything looks pink until your eyes recalibrate. Maybe? Or it could be something to do with Google's Monet color themeing? I'll reserve judgement for now because everything else looked fine. I also don't like the lack of a headphone jack, but, very good USB-C DACs are cheap these days so I'll live. The 'Hawaii Bad Boy' channel here on RU-vid has done some solid reviews on them if you've got a device from a "courageous" manufacturer but would like to have actually good wired sound quality.
That pinkish tint...it's not monet doing that. On the home screen, the Google search bar and icons are supposed to be white. This is definitely a camera reacting to the tablet's display issue. As @nurpurp15 said, monet does not affect on-screen content like pictures, (non-themed) icons and videos. Just the systemUI. Aka background colors, system buttons and the keyboard, to name a few.
I know it's not very demanding but just to make sure it's compatible, would you mind trying RuneScape and Old School RuneScape on the tablet? Also interested in checking out the Xbox Game Pass streaming and Chiaki for PlayStation 4/5 Remote Play. Also interested in knowing about the reading experience on this tablet (books, PDFs, comics/manga) but this is not really the focus of this channel I suppose :P
Great video as always. If it is possible, can you please do a comparison between the ROG Ally and latest GPD device that. Would be interested to see what comes out on top, and whether or not performance is within margin of error. Because the GPD devices usually have better I/O on the device itself and less dependency for a dongle or USB hub.
This has been happening on the Qualcomm chips for years with the 888 and the eight gen one. Cuz they're fabricated by Samsung. Thankfully they did pivot to TSMC with the eight plus Gen 1 and the 8g2. But the s22 ultra the throttle a lot more than the tensor pixels, and in fact it was delisted from Geekbench for five generations for benchmark manipulation
I wouldn't recommend this tablet it's really a ripoff no high refresh rate no qaud HD display no stylus support no expandable memory and for 500 dollars that's Horrible just get a new tab s7 plus
It's a good thing that google did not have oled since the display will be on all day like a smart display like the google nest. Using oled will have a higher rate of burn in issues. All the nexus and pixel devices that I use ended up having the display brightness decrease over time with oled displays and all the oled displays turn to a yellowish tint. The white colors turn to a yellowish tint like cell phone clear cases that turn yellow in the same way. I used to use clear cases for my android devices but the clear cases turn yellow and the oled displays turn yellowish with white in them like the clear cases I used to have on my android devices. I don't like it when all the oled displays that I use decrease brightness over time and they turn yellowish. It makes the display harder to see outdoors. I have use my hand over my phones display just so I can see the display outdoors otherwise the sun gets on the display and it makes harder to see the display outdoors. I even have the display screen brightness maxed out and it's still not bright enough. I wish there was a red magic 8 pro gaming phone but a tablet version with the same brightness as the red magic 8 pro with the same specs as well as the sony xperia 1 v android phone but a sony tablet with the same specs such as 4k 120 hz and 1,000 nits however the display would be mini led or micro led both for the red magic 8 pro gaming tablet and the sony xperia 1 v android tablet so there would be no issues with burn in. The red magic 8 pro gaming tablet would have diablo mode to overclock the cpu and gpu with the red magic 8 pro desktop mode. The sony xperia 1 v android tablet would have native playstation support without cloud steaming but using the internal storage and micro sd card slot to play games from the sony PS1 thru the ps5. Also have cloud streaming as an option for those that game streaming from the cloud. I don't cloud stream when playing games. I wanna be able to play PS1 thru ps5 games like the game consoles but running android on an android tablet from sony. Basically if sony made a ps5 and a sony xperia gaming tablet edition running android with ps5 games and backward compatibility will all the playstation games from the ps1 thru ps5 on the sony android tablet itself running natively with the option play the console discs by hooking an external disc drive on the sony tablet. I been wanting to plug an external disc drive to an android tablet to play my console games and play audio cds, rip the audio cds to the micro sd card slot. Like the original Xbox game console but running android that can play audio cds and play physical copies of the games but the sony android version.
I don't use apple devices just android and windows devices. I have my display brightness maxed out 24/7. I don't use dark mode. I use the sony xperia 1 iv since it has a 21:9 aspect ratio, 4k 120 hz oled display, 1,000 nits, headphone jack, I use the headphone jack all the time, micro sd card slot, dual physical sim card slots, no e-sim crap. Bluetooth headphones are e-waste and you can't use the same bluetooth headphones long term since they rely on batteries to function compared to using wired headphones that don't need any batteries at all. Bluetooth headphones pale in comparison to wired headphones with high quality sound and they still have latency with wired headphones have 0 latency.
Now you're making me regret getting the 128 GB model I should have gone for the 256 GB but I haven't had. Good luck with my pixel 7 Pro. It's been laggy almost thinking about switching back to Snapdragon for the next phone
I take it that because there was no mention or demonstration of video out that it is not featured? I have never seen the value of the Pixel from the tech perspective, although do recognise that because it comes from Google that Android support is likely to be better and have longer life for that support and development. At the price, it just doesn't wow me enough and the Google brand just doesn't have the draw that it once had.
Bro I'm from India. And I like your videos very much because your content are some uniqueness. And I have ready ya Samsung dex mode for emulator play using Samsung s10e (bought it in second hand market as you said😂) but I want Bluetooth controller for my device in budget. So please put a video for budget Bluetooth controller
Well you have to make your mind which is one best and powerful tablets, because you repeat again with other tablets make your mind. At the end new tablets coming out more powerful and better will you can't change it, less you are have the money to spend in all and every week new tablets coming out . Thank you for your video and I stay in touch 😊😉❤️
The display stays on when in hub mode so would not make sense to use OLED. I got one to use as a second screen to watch TV while gaming on LG OLED. It is clearly washed out compared to my TV and M1 iPad but it’s not that bad if look at it not off angle. That is my only complaint so far other than the price. I have all Apple devices and nice to be able to cast stuff to it also.
@@spiderpig1736 don’t have enough space for another TV or monitor … plan to use it as hub and tablet too. The multiple user profiles is pretty cool also so no longer have to let guests use iPad.
Man ur telln me it took this long for em to release a real successor to the Nexus!?? ..bout time!.. Vanilla is the only way to Android imo.. nice! Great Review.. Looks nice n fine tuned.
Are there any tablets with quad speakers that have them on the top and bottom sides instead of on the sides where you put your hands when holding the tablet? 🤔
That's right it's 499 not 399 and I'm interested in buying it for my wife she loves to play games and it'll be cool I have Google homes all over but I prefer a screen so maybe I will get it for I have the tab 7S Plus and it works like a charm but I'll try Google we'll see how it works😮
Best fire tablet Best double speaker fron fire Best google tablet high end Best low setting gaming Best low end Best budget Everything is the best Best channel
I know it's been a few months, but I would like to know if a usb hub can be plugged into this and used with the speaker dock or not. I've heard about speaker issues if something else is plugged in the speaker dock. Thanks
There's the 20$ rockchip adapter that plugs into the USB c, sends video over HDMI. Basically If your Android does data over USB c, it'll work. Pretty much exactly how Android auto works, and why it's muddy looking too There's slight lag, but I played super Metroid and it was good enough. The only ditty, it looks like a softer sub 720p image. Plus the aspect ratio will be whatever the tab is. And the last!!! You cannot leave this tab on the dock, and use it. Data over USB c and charging from the dock together does not work currently.
While this is good..i hope next tablet from Google would feature a special made SoC for tablet..Tensor G2T( t for tablet )..just like Apple with M2 SoC..
@@spiderpig1736 Mi pad 6 pro is superior in performance due to SD Gen 1, mi pad 6 is not, its significantly worse in both display and CPU than Oneplus pad.
I don't really think it's something you would cross shop with one plus. This is not meant to be a productivity device meant to be a smart hub / consumption device. Although OnePlus isn't necessarily a great productivity device either since it lacks video output
I have a samsung note and a laptop and a miband for sleep and exercise tracking. I have never owned a tabled nor do I need one. For this price I might as well get myself a vr headset which at least does things that my other devices dont already do.
There really isn't a whole lot of room for these on the market, the price point is already so high. And it doesn't even have a modem so you won't see them getting shilled by verizon with a tablet data plan.
Limited headroom for the future as this is likely a 5-7 year investment so the Tab S8 is better value in the UK as this is equivalent to $750 (£600) over here. I think it is $499 in the US not $399? Effectively only two years more updates as it comes with Android 13, and Android 14 releases next month, so only 15&16 after that. The Tab S9 will be OLED with 12GB of RAM and although it maybe £100 more in the UK, seems like a no-brainer if you are not a home hub person which I suspect 99.9% of people watching this channel are not.
The UK pricing of this is absolute insanity. It starts at £599. Cannot think of a single reason to buy this trash instead of a one plus tablet which out specs and outperforms it in every way and offers 3 years updates. Sub par display, sub par speakers, average cpu, average build, poor cameras, poor charging speeds but you get an average speaker dock with it? all for £599? madness...
@@corsinivideosThe reason you would buy this is if you wanted a two-in-one that doubles as a home hub. This is not a productivity device. The speakers are way better than the OnePlus tab because of the dock. But I just don't know why anyone would be cross shopping this with a productivity time on anyway. This is something you buy instead of a home hub Max,
In order of importance (to me). 1) No microSD card slot, 2) No stylus, 3) No headphone jack, 4) Large Bezels, 5) Benchmarks worse than the 1+ year old Galaxy Tab S8, 6) Overpriced. For $90, you can get the highest performance 1TB microSD card on the market. With the tablet, you have to pay $100 extra just to add 128GB of storage. I'll never buy a phone or tablet without expandable storage & a headphone jack. The companies do this so they can show a lower entry level price than the model everyone wants. Since you can't upgrade storage yourself, they are charging you $100 for 128GB upgrade while you could buy a 128GB microSD card for $10. Talk about price gouging.
Struggling to see how this can possibly be one of the best when tensor G2 is outperformed by both diversity 9000 and Snapdragon Gen 1 tablets for emulation and gaming and this devices display runs at 60hz. The only reason to buy this would be if you require google OS updates. Otherwise it is underspecedd and overpriced, has bad speakers, a sub par display and good but not near flagship performance CPU that heats up a lot when under load. In the UK this devices costs over £599 which is total insanity.
@@michaelcorcoran8768 not in the UK, it costs £599. The speaker is average and not worth the money. You can buy a £100 BT speaker that will outperform it and still have change if you buy a OnePlus pad with it. It's a terrible deal and will no doubt sell very badly at that price.
@@spiderpig1736 Yeah, imo google is grossly overestimating demand and the amount of money people want to spend on a home hub device / tablet. In the UK you could literally buy a oneplus pad and a google nest hub max for the same price as this.
Would be nicer for me without the stand and with the front facing camera moved to the top. I generally use these vertically and having the camera on the side interferes with the auto brightness and shut off as your fingers constantly sit over the camera.
This thing is priced wrong imo. They should've sold the tablet and dock separately as an option. Like the tablet by itself at $350 and the dock at $75. Maybe together for like $400. At $500 it's asking a lot for just a mid range tablet. The dock at $130 is ridiculous. For something that does nothing but just sits there while you are using your tablet. It's basically a charging dock with speakers.
