Does Google have a good tablet?

It's been a busy few months for Google's Android team.

First there was last year's 2:10. After that, the Nexus One, then the Nexus S, and finally this week's launch of the Galaxy Nexus.

Yet despite Google's best efforts, one question still remains unanswered by their new phone: Is it a killer app tablet? I like the Nexus S (and the Galaxy Nexus) but it hasn't really changed my buying habits all that much, and in any case I don't think anybody is going to be buying them for their operating system, and certainly not when the best alternative is already available in a cheap 7-inch Android tablet. What the new Nexus S means for Apple is less easy to say, even if many people - on both sides of the aisle - have an idea about how they're feeling towards Google just now. In any case, I think we've got a different question to answer here: is Google's Nexus S a great Android tablet, or is it a great Android smartphone? This is one of those reviews that can become very hard to write, so you may get a bit of a mix in my text as a result, although I think I'm generally on track - particularly with the Nexus S but I may still get into trouble with some of the smaller issues later on. If it does, it will be when I'm out of time First, however, I need to put the device through its paces in a few other places where it may not come under too much scrutiny. The first thing I thought of when I took this Nexus out of the box, the first thing that struck me about this device is, well - the form factor of it: It's not just the design, though. The Nexus S has also managed to pack in a good-looking build quality that reminds me of Apple in some ways: Of course, I suspect most Android fans will appreciate the fact it doesn't have an aluminum back. It all looks very plastic, and it's got a very reassuring solid feel.

Is there a Google Pixel tablet?

That's the question that's been circulating through Google enthusiast circles for years.

As a Nexus brand, Google is unlikely to build hardware without a software or ecosystem tie-in, so why not make a Nexus tablet for the Pixel range?

There's only one real way we could find out: through software updates, and that's exactly what we're about to find out. This post will detail our experiences of testing a prototype Google Pixel tablet on Android O, as well as running various apps and games on it.

Why test a Pixel tablet? We already know Google has a smartphone range, Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones (2017), a Chromecast device, Chromecast Ultra TV dongle (2016) and a Nest Hub smart speaker/display (2016), so the idea of a Nexus tablet isn't entirely unrealistic. But if there was going to be a Nexus tablet in the Pixel range it probably would have been a pure Google Pixel tablet, ie the Pixel C or Pixel Slate, so maybe we're expecting a bit too much.

So, why would anyone test a prototype Google Pixel tablet when a Nexus tablet, already a Google product, exists and has a wider consumer reach? There are two reasons really. The first is that the Pixel has a smaller user base than the Nexus. The Pixel XL has less than half of the number of monthly active users as the Nexus 6P. Not only that, but Pixel users tend to be a lot more tech-savvy than the average person in the market for a Nexus. If Google is testing a tablet on Android O for the Pixel range, and if it works out, it's likely that it's possible to bring that same OS to Nexus. We might just get a Pixel-branded, pure Google Nexus tablet. If that happens, people might just start asking themselves, what can I use a Pixel tablet for?, so they start looking at other Nexus tablets like the Asus Nexus 9.

Another reason for testing this tablet on Android O is that even if this tablet isn't actually a Pixel tablet, if it runs Android O, it might be able to run any future version of Android, including iOS.

Can a Pixel Tablet replace a laptop?

A few weeks ago I took a quick trip to San Francisco to attend the Droidcon.

Droidcon is, according to the people who organized it, the world's largest Android tablet user conference. Well, maybe not the world's largest, but certainly the largest of a very small group. In fact, in its first year of existence, there were barely over 500 attendees. So, what did I get out of it? A nice little piece of software? A nice new tablet? Nope, I got a glimpse into the future. As more and more people jump onto the mobile platform, and the OS grows to support more and more users, it's not at all far fetched that tablets might one day replace laptops as the main form of computing. I'm not here to debate the merits of such an idea, or even to suggest whether or not it will come to fruition. I just want to discuss what might happen if it did.

In order to get my mind off of work, I purchased a second hand iPad from a local shop, brought it home, and used it to read this article. There was no way I could take this article on the train. Not a single one of the trains I ride has Wi-Fi, let alone an internet connection. I had to take it home and use my iPad. This isn't a new trend though, as I've blogged about on more than one occasion.

But what if tablets became as common as PCs? We are very close to reaching that point. I'll give you some numbers.

In the last 2 years, PC sales have dropped 3% (6.8% in the last quarter). The number of tablets have grown by 1.3x to reach around 10 million. If we include the various Android-based smart phones, that figure grows to 12.4 million (with 5.5 million being Android-based, not Apple iOS-based). Let's take a look at a different number, this time the number of active users on Facebook. According to Facebook, there are now 2.11 billion active users on Facebook. In 2025, they had 875 million active users.
