Google Pixel Tablet Review: Not Made To Battle Galaxy Tab Or iPad, And That’s A Good Thing – SlashGear

This tablet has an 11-inch 2560 x 1600 pixel IPS LCD touchscreen display that’s quite decent. It doesn’t get quite as bright as higher-end tablets with OLED displays — iPad Pro, Galaxy Tab S8, Lenovo Tab P12 Pro, and so forth. But the Pixel Tablet is certainly bright enough to handle any sort of indoor lighting environment — and outdoors, so long as you’re in the shade.

Display quality and color accuracy are as good as or better than any tablet on the market today at this price. This device’s display refresh rate is 60Hz, which is to be expected, given Google’s recommended uses for the hardware. Still, now that the nicest tablets and smartphones on the market come with 120Hz displays, it’s difficult to reconcile that any device has a lower refresh rate. If you’re only planning on using the Pixel Tablet for everything other than gaming, you might never notice the difference.

The power button on this tablet is also a fingerprint scanner. This biometric hardware allows the user to hold a finger on the power button for a moment to bypass the tablet’s lock screen. This fingerprint scanner is at least as accurate and quick as any we’ve tested before — and it’s located at a very natural-feeling place on the tablet, too.
