For those already using Google’s ecosystem that are searching for a solid tablet, the clear pick is the Google Pixel Tablet. While there are cheaper Android tablets out there, this tablet is one of the best you can get your hands on, especially when you consider that it comes with a charging stand that doubles as a speaker. And if you act fast, you can pick up the upgraded 256GB model for less than you’d normally pay for the base model with just 128GB of storage.
The sale is available for today only at Best Buy with both the porcelain and hazel models discounted by $150 there. Amazon is matching the prices, dropping both models to $449, giving you an alternative place to snag the deal. We expect prices will rise at Amazon at the end of the day, too.
The Google Pixel Tablet is the first Android tablet to use Google’s own Tensor G2 chip, making it fast and smooth when opening apps, playing games and streaming movies and TV shows. It’s also efficient on the battery, so you’ll go longer between charges.
When it does come time to charge you can just place the Pixel Tablet on the included charging speaker dock, which CNET’s Scott Stein loved in his review. It’ll automatically start charging without any messy wires. While it’s there, it can act as a smart home hub and is ideal for watching videos in the kitchen, viewing recipes and more, all thanks to that large 11-inch display.
Not sure that the Pixel Tablet is for you or prefer something with a different set of features? Our list of the best tablet deals should have you sorted in no time all.
