This tablet has a lower pixel density than my desktop. But 120Hz OLED sounds soooo good. I'm almost super sad it's not 4K. Would've been an instant wishlist item then.
You sure about that? Desktop resolution is 72 ppi

Uh, it gets the same support as Pixel phones do. 3 years of major OS updates, 5 years of security updates.
3 years is appalling. For something like a tablet I would be expecting 5-6 years major updates.
Can you name a better one?

Is this really considered "first generation" Pixel tablet? Google is so good at killing off products that nobody remembers the previous attempts at tablets?

Yep. Nexus devices were a whole different thing.

Wireless is usually a lot slower than plugging it in, so i suspect it'd be better on batteries rather than worse. But the best way to save your batteries is to not charge to 100%.
I wish there were standard software in Android and iOS to limit charge percentage and battery temperature during charging. It's ludicrous to me that the default behavior is plugging in your phone to a 30W ludicrously fast charger when you go to bed in the evening, where it then climbs to 100% charge and holds there while you sleep. I should be able to tell it I'd like it to reach 85% charge as of the time my alarm go…

Wireless charging kills batteries faster -- that's why I personally avoid it.

Android tablets generally feel overpriced right now for what they offer compared to Apple's ecosystem. There's one exception: Lenovo's last gen pro tablet got a small refresh. It's the "Lenovo P11 Pro Gen 2" and it's absurdly affordable compared to the competition right now (~$270). It's got a 120hz OLED display, great general-purpose performance (my previous tablet experience was Samsung's budget S6 Lite, which was…

and I am out. we have about 300 iPads at work, and I would be interested in swapping some to this, but it MUST have cellular data, no exception. otherwise its just a toy. Dumb move Google.

> for what they offer compared to Apple's ecosystem Yet after over a decade, iPads still don't support multiple profiles for a device that's very often used in a household by multiple people. Something that this very first generation Pixel Tablet does.
Apple want you to buy multiple iPads.
Well, better late than never. Many, many years ago when Android 2 was all the rage, Motorola has shipped Xoom tablet with Android 3. That Android version turned out to be a dead end, and the whole line of tablets went nowhere. Next Google's attempt at tablets was Nexus 7 device, which was actually great, esp 2013 version that still lays around somewhere in my office and sees occasional use. But then, Google kind of f…
Uhm wasn't the Nexus 7 the tablet that literally bricked itself within a year by the storage degrading to floppy speed?
