This marks Google's return to Android tablets, which comes with a minimum of 5 years of security updates, Chromecast built in, and a magnetic speaker dock that will make it act like a smart hub when you slap the tablet onto the dock, with immediate access to Google Home controls or Google Assistant.

Google Pixel Tablet has specs such as a 10.95-inch LCD screen with a 2560 x 1600 resolution display with 120 Hz refresh rate, at 500 nits, and support for any USI 2.0 digitizer pen.

And despite a separate audio dock, it still has quad speakers of its own, and 3 mics with noise suppression.

Tablet sensors on the Pixel Tablet includes ambient light sensor, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, hall sensor, and a fingerprint reader in the power button. It also has a Ultra-Wideband chip (UWB) for improved ranging.

Internet connectivity options are Wi-Fi 6, and BT 5.2, while ports are 1x USB C 3.2 Gen 1 port, and a 4-pin rear connector for the dock used to charge it with and transfer data and audio.

Google's line of official Pixel Tablet accessories includes the Pixel Tablet Case with the silver rear stand for $79, a Speck StandyShell for for $49, or a Speck ShieldView Glass Screen Protector for $49.

Google sells the Pixel Tablet with the dock included because that's very much the main concept of this tablet. To have the best features of the Nest Hub, but also to have a tablet that's powerful and well equipped enough to be suitable for some produtivity too in additon to the entertainment and convenience features of a tablet.
