This makes it perfect for kitchen use, as it stays perpetually charged and hands-free.

Yes, because it operates on the clean Android OS, the Pixel Tablet features built-in Chromecast functionality. You can easily cast movies or shows from your Pixel 8 Pro directly to the Pixel Tablet's screen, using the tablet essentially as a portable smart display. The charging speaker dock ensures the tablet remains powered up during long video calls or movies.

Yes, when docked and idle, the Google Pixel Tablet seamlessly transitions into a Hub Mode that functions identically to a Google Nest Hub smart display. It cycles through your favorite Google Photos albums, displaying them clearly on its bright screen. It also allows you to control smart home devices like Philips Hue lights directly from the tablet.

The Google Pixel Tablet is powered by the Tensor G2 processor, the same chip utilized in the Pixel 7 Pro smartphone line.
