Unlike the previous Pixel that ran on Chromebook OS, the Pixel C tablet runs on Android Marshmallow 6.0 which was a bit of a surprise to most of us. What doesn’t come as a surprise is the quality and build of the Google-made device, the Pixel C is quite a looker with its anodized aluminum design. It comes with a 10.2 inch display sporting a resolution of 2560x1800 pixels, and a display density of 308 PPI (Pixels Per Inch) with a super-bright backlight capable of 500 nits. Pixel C is powered by a Nvidia Tegra X1 SoC (system on chip) with Maxwell GPU coupled with 3 GB of RAM which promises a high-end gaming experience. Also featured on the device are four microphones that should assist in picking up your voice commands and the reversible USB-Type C port for blazing fast data transfer.
Although the device makes for a pretty impressive tablet, it’s hybrid tag arises from the magnetically-attached keyboard which doubles up as a stand and as a display cover when not in use. The Pixel C packs a 38.5 watt hour rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery that will last up to 10 hours on web browsing, Wi-Fi, music and videos. What is a little disappointing for the Pixel C is the rumored absence of a Primary or Secondary camera – no word of either was mentioned during the launch or on the Google blog although we did see a picture that seems to suggest otherwise.
The Pixel C, along with the other Google Hardware devices can be purchased from the Google Store. The Pixel C will be available in two storage options: 32 GB priced at $499 (INR 32,800) and 64 GB priced at $599 (INR 39,500). The Pixel C magnetic keyboard will be sold separately and is priced at $149 (INR 9,800).
