The Google Pixel Tablet is way more enticing when this deal is applied

Good Deal The Google Pixel Tablet sitting outside with its screen on.

The Google Pixel Tablet has had a rough go of it. In the past half year we learned of a Google Pixel Tablet 2 that seems to have died in conception, which could very well mean that the original Pixel Tablet will be the last of its kind, at least until a revamp of the line inevitably comes out.

Even the original seemed too confusing at its high original price. But now the price for the tablet alone is $399 and, after a $100 discount, the tablet is down to just $299. Though obvious from a mathematical standpoint, there’s a lot psychologically going on when you drop the price from $399 to $299. This is one of those tablet deals that gives a product an entirely new perspective — and others, too, as stock is already limited on Amazon. So, that’s what we need to ask, is the Pixel Tablet worth buying now that it is heavily discounted?

Why you should buy the Google Pixel Tablet

The Google Pixel Tablet has a 10.95-inch display with a 2560 x 1600 resolution, refreshing at 60Hz. It has a video streaming battery life of around 12 hours, using 8GB of RAM and Google’s Tensor G2 processor. It can be used as a command center to control your smart home devices via Google Home, has built-in Chromecast, and (of course) has AI features. This version has 128GB of storage, though others exist.

During our Google Pixel Tablet review we found it to be lacking when compared to other tablets of its price range. Naturally, with this deal, that has dramatically changed. And, if you just want a tablet to hold and watch things, you won’t need to worry about the lack of an official keyboard, for example. Another of our tech experts discussed what they love about the Pixel Tablet, describing its usage with the dock. The dock transforms it into a sort of Amazon Echo Show. Intriguingly, if you buy this deal and then buy a dock separately , the total price will be $80 less than if you bought them bundled, which is another intriguing buying point.

The Google Pixel Tablet is now at a price where you should re-evaluate it. If you want a Pixel device deal, this could very well be the one to get today. Usually $399, you can get a Google Pixel Tablet for $299. It’s already got low stock on Amazon, though, so be sure to hurry if you want to lock in this deal.

The Pixel 11 gives me three reasons to ditch my iPhone 17, and I’m afraid they’ll work
Google’s latest entry-level flagship makes my iPhone 17 look a lot less compelling.
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

As someone who reviews smartphones for a living, upgrading every year isn't optional. It's part of the job, and as an iPhone user, it's an easy call. This year, I expected to move from my baseline iPhone 17 to Apple's next baseline model, the iPhone 18. Except Apple might not even launch it this September.

Pegatron, one of Apple's suppliers, indicated on an August 12 earnings call that the standard iPhone 18 isn't coming next month (via Deccan Chronicle). Only the Pro, Pro Max, and the rumored foldable "Ultra" are expected, with the base model pushed to early 2027. That alone would derail my plans. But it's just one domino in a longer line for Apple: the Pixel 11.

Cracking your Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra screen could cost $639, so handle it carefully
Samsung's new numbers put an exact, and fairly painful, figure on just how much pricier.
Computer, Electronics, Tablet Computer

Cracking your foldable's screen has always been an expensive mistake, but Samsung just put an actual price on it this year, and believe me, it’s more expensive than I initially thought it would be. 

The company confirmed official repair pricing for the entire Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup, and fixing the inner display alone can cost more than some budget phones do new. Given that more people are buying into the category, making these revised repair costs all the more important to know before you take the plunge.

I’ve waited far too long for Pixels to get this stupidly simple gesture
Just ship the double-tap-to-lock gesture already Google.
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

Every time I switch from any Android phone to a Pixel, there's one small gesture missing that always annoys me. From a modern Galaxy phone or even a device from Xiaomi, I can double-tap an empty part of the home screen and immediately turn the display off. Samsung has offered a double-tap to turn off the screen since Android 11. On a Pixel, I still have to reach for the power button.

To be fair, Google isn't the only offender, and Motorola's stock Android phones, like the Razr Fold, also skip such a basic feature. But this might be changing soon. Android Authority has discovered updated code strings inside Android 17 QPR2 Beta 3 pointing to Google’s long-in-development double-tap-to-sleep feature. Better still, Google appears to have expanded it beyond the lock screen and onto the home screen, which is exactly where I want it.
