There\u2019s still a lot in the air as to what this device will be able to do, how it will do them, and if you\u2019ll be able to afford it to do them.<br \/>\nSince there are so many questions about the Pixel Tablet, here\u2019s a full rundown of everything you\u2019ll need to know about it so far. It covers information that\u2019s been confirmed and what\u2019s currently rumored, and it will be constantly updated as more information floods in. So, let\u2019s get started.<br \/>\nWhen will this tablet come out?<br \/>\nRight now, we only know that Google is going to launch this tablet sometime in the year 2023. Google didn\u2019t give us any information outside of that. It didn\u2019t even state which quarter or half of the year it will launch the tablet.<br \/>\nIf we can conjecture, Google only really launches its Pixel devices during two parts of the year. It releases its Pixel \u201ca\u201d phones about halfway through the year (May for the Pixel 3a, August for the Pixel 4a and Pixel 5a, and July for the Pixel 6a), and it releases the main Pixel phones in October.<br \/>\nSo, we can expect it to be released during one of those times in the year.<\/p>\n<p>How will the docking feature work?<br \/>\nThis will be the Pixel Tablet\u2019s headlining feature. The tablet will have four connector pins on the back, and it will use them to connect to a stationary dock.<br \/>\nThis dock will serve two purposes. For starters, it will be a charger that will keep it topped off and powered on. As for the other feature, the dock will turn it into the equivalent of a Nest Hub display.<br \/>\nThis will make the Pixel tablet the best of both worlds between tablets and smart displays. You\u2019ll be able to use it as a regular tablet for work and play and dock it if you need to use it as a Nest Hub.<br \/>\nWhat kind of specs will this tablet have<br \/>\nThese specs are still mostly rumors, so you\u2019ll want to take them with a grain of salt. We believe that the Pixel Tablet will have a 10.95-inch display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600. We don\u2019t know if it\u2019s an OLED or LCD, however.<br \/>\nAs for the internals, Google confirmed that it\u2019s going to use its in-house Tenser G2 chip to power the device. This is the same chip that\u2019s powering the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. We\u2019re looking at 128GB and\/or 256GB of storage, but that information hasn\u2019t been confirmed by Google just yet. We don\u2019t know how much RAM we\u2019re looking at, but we\u2019re hoping that it will be between 8GB and 12GB.<br \/>\nThere will be quad speakers for this device, which is pretty standard for modern tablets. Two speakers will sit on the left side and two on the right.<br \/>\nWe know that the Pixel Tablet will have a single camera on the back. It\u2019ll be on the top right corner of the back, and we\u2019re waiting on information about the resolution. As for the front-facing camera, it will sit inside the sizable bezel surrounding the display.<\/p>\n<p>What materials is it made from?<br \/>\nWe expect the Pixel Tablet to have a premium feel to it. Google announced that the chassis for the tablet will be made from 100% recycled aluminum. On top of that, the company coated it in a nano-ceramic finish.<br \/>\nGoogle coated the chassis with microscopic particles of ceramic to give it a unique feeling. The company said that it was inspired by the feeling of porcelain, and we can\u2019t wait to get our hands on it to find out!<br \/>\nWhat software will it launch with?<br \/>\nThe Pixel Tablet will launch with Android 13 out of the box. What\u2019s fortunate about that is that it has the tablet optimizations that Google\u2019s been working on since late 2021 with Android 12L.<br \/>\nThe majority of Google\u2019s first-party apps have been reworked to operate on larger screens. So, apps like Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Keep, and others will look perfect on the tablet\u2019s large display.<br \/>\nAlso, the notification shade will be split into two columns to better accommodate a landscape screen. There will be an app dock on the bottom that will house apps for quick access as well. Those are the main changes that Google brought, and there are plenty more in the software.<br \/>\nSince this is both Google\u2019s hardware and software, we can expect both to work great with one another. However, we\u2019ll need to wait on the device to launch to know for sure.<br \/>\nHow many variants will there be?<br \/>\nOfficially, we only know about one model of the tablet. Google didn\u2019t point to any other variants during either presentation. However, 9To5Google\u00a0spotted some code within Android that pointed to a possible Pro model.<br \/>\nThe official codename for the Pixel Tablet is \u201cTangor\u201d. 9To5Google found the text \u201ctangorpro\u201d in the code. That points to a potential pro model of the tablet.<\/p>\n<p>Will this tablet have stylus support?<br \/>\nIt seems likely. Back in May, the Pixel Tablet was certified by the USI (Universal Stylus Initiative). This is an entity that wants to create a standard for stylus compatibility across different devices. So, if the Pixel Tablet was certified by this company, that means that it should be compatible with stylus input.<br \/>\nHow much will the Pixel Tablet cost?<br \/>\nAt the moment, we don\u2019t have any pricing information on this device. However, Google is marketing the Pixel Tablet as a premium product that will complement its flagship Pixel phones. With that in mind, we can\u2019t expect a low price tag.<br \/>\nAlso, we have to consider the dock. We don\u2019t know if Google will sell the tablet by itself or only with the dock. We expect the company to sell the tablet and dock separately.<br \/>\nSo, looking at the market that Google is targeting and the addition of the dock, we place our guess at around $799 for the tablet itself and $899-$949 with the dock included.<br \/>\nThese are just guesses, so you\u2019ll want to take this with a grain of salt. We will update this article when we get more information on the price.<br \/>\nThe post Pixel Tablet: Everything you need to know appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Pixel-Tablet-Side-View.png\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google is going to be launching its first tablet in years, and we\u2019re all wondering just how that\u2019s going to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":10996,"comment_status":"false","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10995","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bez-kategorii"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10995","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/27"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10995"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10995\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10997,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10995\/revisions\/10997"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10996"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10995"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
