In addition to the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P Android phones, Google also announced the upcoming release of a new tablet called the Google Pixel C. It takes from Google’s popular Chromebook Pixel notebook and is billed as a “the first Android tablet built end-to-end by Google.” That’s a big deal, because it means that the Pixel C is made by the same people who have made Android what it is today. It’s getting something straight from the source.
The Pixel C is said to bring together the benefits of a full-size keyboard with the portability of a tablet. It’s has a 10.2-inch screen with a pixel density of 308 PPI. The way it achieves this is by using a display panel with a native resolution of 2560×1800 pixels. This display also uses the sRGB color gamut and offers 500 nits of brightness.
Graphics on the Pixel C is handled by NVIDIA’s Tegra X1 processor, which has 3GB RAM, choices of either 32GB or 64GB internal storage, and a Maxwell desktop-class GPU. Other features include a USB Type-C port, stereo speakers, four microphones for far-field audio, and built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.
It won’t be released just yet, but when it comes out it will be sold at $499 (around P23,350) with 32GB storage and $599 (around P28,000) with 64GB storage. It will also have an optional keyboard dock accessory that’s priced $149 (around P7,000).
