Google’s Version of the Work-Tablet is Here: Introducing the Google Pixel C

The Tablet market has been experiencing a bit of a slow growth trend over the last year or so but things may improve soon as multiple companies are now stepping into the work Tablet space. This will eventually turn into an all new segment of Tablet computers, one with a focus on consumers who want to get more out of their Tablets and use them as complementary workplace devices.

We have seen both Microsoft Corporation and Apple Inc. taking keen interest in this segment with Microsoft Surface Pro series and Apple iPad Pro respectively. Now Google has decided to enter this race with its latest Tablet – the Google Pixel C. One among the many interesting bits about this Tablet is that this is a pure Google product. There is no OEM involvement and the product is well and truly a Google baby.

Let’s take a quick glance at the specs on-board the Google Pixel C before we explore it further.

Specifications – Google Pixel C

The Google Pixel C packs a 10.2 inch display and has a powerful octa-core Nvidia Tegra X1 processor to boast. It has a 3 GB RAM and 32 GB of internal memory that cannot be expanded. The rear and front cameras on the Pixel C are 8 megapixel and 2 megapixel respectively. Here is the clincher – the Google Pixel C is powered by Android 6.0 (Marshmallow). It supports both WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity options and has all the standard sensors that one expects from a modern mobile device – Proximity sensor, Ambient light sensor, Accelerometer, and Gyroscope.

Why is Google manufacturing an Android Tablet under its Pixel brand?

Let’s face some facts here. Google’s Pixel brand was not originally meant to build Tablets. Why? Well, because Google already has a brand that does that and does that reasonably well – the Nexus brand.

Google launches Android Tablets under the Nexus brand. The most recent addition to this range of Tablets and Google’s current Tablet flagship was the Google Nexus 9. It didn’t impress most people and didn’t create any ripples in the Tablet industry which is a little weird. One would expect a niche Google product to create at least some buzz in the market but the Nexus 9 didn’t and that surprised us.

Google’s Pixel brand is essentially its Chromebook division. One look at the Google Pixel C and one realizes that this is Google’s attempt at changing the Tablet computer dynamics and pushing for a wider acceptance of Tablets that double up as laptops and align better with a work like culture than a Temple Run culture.

The Pixel C design is dramatically different than a Nexus Tablet design. The Pixel C looks exactly like a Tablet that would come into existence if it was designed by a team which did not design the Nexus range. Perhaps Google wants to add a touch of seriousness to its work-Tablet debate. The Google Pixel division already makes an ingenious product in the Chromebook and a work-Tablet would only add more weight to the less popular Pixel brand. The brand and the Tablet seem to complement each other perfectly.

All said and done we will need to wait and watch whether Google’s Pixel C experiment translates to sales based success. On the surface this looks like a brilliant Tablet and may eventually turn out be exactly what consumers not wanting to use a Windows or an iOS Tablet need.
