Google Announces Pixel Tablet for $499
The Pixel Tablet was shown off at last year’s Google I/O conference, but it’s only now that it’s getting to production. At the same time, sales will not start soon – June 20.
The Pixel Tablet is built on the Tensor G2 single-chip platform, supplemented with a Titan M security chip. It received an IPS screen with a diagonal of 11 inches and a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels.
There are two cameras – front and back. Moreover, the modules are exactly the same – with 8-megapixel sensors, lenses with F / 2.0 aperture and support for Full HD video recording. There is a fingerprint scanner (built into the power key), three microphones and four speakers, a USB 3.2 Type-C port, support for UWB, Wi-Fi 802.11ax and Bluetooth 5.2.
You can get it in either Hazel (gray), Porcelain (white) or Rose if you’re in the US, and the latter two have white bezels while the first has black borders. The device has a nano-ceramic coating that Google said was “inspired by the feel of porcelain,” lending it a “textured feel unlike any other tablet.”
The price of the device is $500. But this is in the USA, and in Europe the novelty was priced at 680 euros – this is how much the version with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of flash memory costs. The variant with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of flash memory is priced at 800 euros.
