Real comments from Reddit, linked to the original thread. Nothing paraphrased.
Love mine, but primary use is for reading, watching YouTube videos, movies when traveling, browsing Reddit/web, occasional video calls, and as a photo frame when not in use. For my use case it's perfect.
Praise
It's hard to swallow, but the Pixel Tablet was one of the first devices by Google that I cannot stand to use. The biggest deal breaker was the refresh rate. Even for those that aren't pixel peepers it is glaringly obvious. Even navigating around the UI you can tell that the tablet is slow. The UI isn't intuitive or new. It's been reported recently it is just old hardware in a large frame with a cheap screen. I guess I had my expectations too high, but I do regret purchasing it.
Complaint
Why are the 7a and the Tablet same price in dollars but the 7a is £499 and the Tablet £599? It's a joke.
Complaint
It's intended use wasn't really to be a gaming powerhouse right from the start. They wanted it to be a media tablet that generally remains docked for things like videos when guests are over. That's part of why they bundled it with the dock is because they weren't trying to sell it to people as a world class tablet.
Comparison
>£600 for a tablet.... Just not sure what it does so differently to a pixel phone....
Complaint
It's $120 off from its highly overinflated $400 ask for a 8GB/128GB device, which is $500 for 256GB and $600 with the dock. They really overestimated the brand love in thinking they have the same blind loyalty as Apple faithful.
Complaint
Just to add to the pricing context, the pixel 7 runs ¥82,500 in Japan at full MSRP and retails for $599 at full MSRP in the US. Not that currency conversions and comparisons ever come out at 1:1 anyway.
Comparison
so basically the answer is "because others do it, we can get away with it" in many words.
Complaint
Well, being able to insert something into a hole and see magic happens makes a difference
Praise
Because Google knows some buyers will pay the higher price just to get their hands on the device. In a few months the tablet price will drop to £499. Never be an early adopter of new electronics.
Complaint
How am I supposed to invest in that ecosystem when all of it will be cancelled by next year
Complaint
I hope this means they're scrapping their gimmicky vision of a tablet just being a Google home screen. I know a lot of people love it for that, but people want tablets for notes, drawing, media consumption, etc. Your angle into the tablet market isn't to just become a digital clock/Google assistant. I want an 8-11 inch "Pro" style tablet (120hz, good screen IPS or OLED, pencil support, stock Android, long update lifespan). I think Google could also price it competitively, as they do with the a-series phones as well. I just hope (cope) that this cancellation is to make way for a more serious tablet development like this.
Complaint
I'm glad the $32 per month I pay for YouTube Premium gets me 0 deals, while Americans are enjoying 40% off.
Complaint
That’s really cool. Would be cool to attach to a fridge while cooking.

God I don't understand why they can't make something as simple and functional as the Nexus 10. What a great tablet that was. ... Just a big screen, amazing battery and Pixel clean OS.

✅ What Works
- The bundled charging speaker dock is called out as a genuine highlight — it keeps the tablet charged and doubles as a room-filling speaker
- When docked, it functions as a smart display: photo frame, smart home controls, and hands-free info like weather or reminders
- Owners using it for casual reading, YouTube, travel movie-watching, and video calls say it fits that use case well
⚠️ Worth Knowing
- Price value is the most common complaint (7 of 16 mentions) — owners find the cost hard to justify against comparably priced Pixel phones
- Display and UI responsiveness draw criticism, with one owner describing the refresh rate as glaringly slow and the screen as cheap for the price
- Some owners voice concern over long-term software and ecosystem support for the device
- It's positioned as a docked media tablet rather than a high-performance one — not built or marketed as a gaming or productivity powerhouse
ClearPick Verdict
Owners report a tablet built around its charging speaker dock, which several reviewers single out as **the Pixel Tablet's standout feature** — it doubles as a room-filling speaker and smart display when docked. But ten of sixteen mentions run negative, with price value the most frequently cited theme at seven of sixteen mentions, as owners compare the cost unfavorably to similarly-priced Pixel phones. Others describe the display and general responsiveness as dated, with one heavily-upvoted review calling the UI slow and the screen "cheap" for the price. A recurring worry about long-term software and ecosystem support adds to the hesitation, even as a few owners say it fits a casual media-consumption routine perfectly. **This suits buyers who mainly want a docked media and smart-display device and can live with dated hardware feel** — anyone expecting flagship tablet performance or strong resale/long-term value should pass.
