Google has quietly unveiled<\/a> a $399 version of the Pixel Tablet that doesn’t include the signature Charging Speaker Dock.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tucked into the Pixel 8a<\/a> launch, the new configuration is functionally identical to last year’s Pixel Tablet, just without the bundled accessory that turned the device into a smart display. The move slashes $100 off the price.<\/p>\n

AI features like Circle to Search are coming to the tablet later in May, Google added.<\/p>\n

The Pixel Tablet is built on the same Tensor G2 chip as Pixel 7 series phones, and revolves around an 11-inch, 2,560 x 1,600 display. It offers 8MP front and rear cameras, and ships with either 128GB or 256GB of storage.<\/p>\n

The variant might signal a change in Google’s strategy. It revived its tablet line last spring by bundling the large-screened Pixel with a dock. This helped it stand out by making the tablet useful as a Google Assistant device when it’s stationary. However, that also put it at a $499 price that pitted it against the iPad<\/a> and other higher-end tablets.<\/p>\n

Google hasn’t broken out Pixel Tablet sales, and it’s not clear how well the hardware performed in the market. However, a $399 version suggests the company is willing to trade some originality for a more competitive price.<\/p>\n

The switch may have been well-timed. Apple just cut the price of its 10th-generation iPad to $349<\/a>. While there’s still a $50 price gap, this keeps the Pixel Tablet viable if Android or Google’s AI features are enough to justify a slight premium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
