Google’s Pixel Tablet<\/a> is one of the more compelling options for those in the market for an Android tablet, as it’s designed to double as a smart display when you aren’t holding it. If you’ve been thinking of picking one up, now looks like a good time to do so: The 11-inch slate is on sale for $399 at multiple retailers, including Amazon<\/a>, Target<\/a>, Best Buy<\/a> and Google’s own online store<\/a>. While there’s always a chance we see a better offer on Black Friday, this $100 discount marks a new all-time low. It’s also $10 less than the previous low we saw<\/a> during Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days sale earlier this month. This price applies to the base models with 128GB of storage; if you need more space, the 256GB versions<\/a> are also $100 off at $499. Google says<\/a> the offer will run through November 5.<\/p>\n

We gave the Pixel Tablet a score of 85 in our review<\/a> this past June, and we highlight it in our guide to the best tablets<\/a>. While we don’t think it’s better purely as a tablet than our top Android pick, the vibrant Samsung Galaxy Tab S9, it’s a good ways cheaper, and it’s still more than competent for streaming video, playing games and doing most of the other casual things people do with a tablet. Its 2,560 x 1,600 LCD is crisp and punchy, its Tensor G2<\/a> chip is fast enough, its 5,000mAh battery should last a full day and the hardware doesn’t feel cheap. This is still an Android tablet, so some apps aren’t as optimized for this large display as they are on an iPad<\/a>, but Google at least promises<\/a> to supply the device with OS and security updates through June 2026 and June 2028, respectively.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That smart display functionality is the Pixel Tablet’s big selling point, though. Included with the device is a dock that both charges the device and provides a dedicated speaker \u2014 plop the Pixel Tablet on, and the slate becomes something like a detachable Nest Hub Max<\/a>. You can use it to control and monitor smart home devices, access the Google Assistant, cast video<\/a> from your phone, display photos, stream music and so on.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There are still issues: There’s no headphone jack, the display is limited to a 60Hz refresh rate and we had a few software quirks with the tablet’s “Hub Mode” during the review process. Generally speaking, though, the Pixel Tablet is a clever melding of two useful devices. A few other Google devices are also on sale<\/a> this week, including the unlocked Pixel 7a<\/a> for $374, the Pixel Buds Pro<\/a> for $119 and the indoor Nest Cam<\/a> for $70, among others.<\/p>\n
