tl;dr:

  • the 128GB Pixel Tablet is now at $439 (down from $499), and the 256GB version is at $519 (down from $599);
  • discounts are only in the US so far, European and Asian markets expected to see them on August 8.

I really like the tablet + dock tbh.

I picked up the 256GB model because of the price. Immediately put GrapheneOS on it, and it's been decent. Even still works with the dock when playing music. I think GOS, or maybe Google if it's a base issue, has some room to improve on it. There are some UI elements that don't work on the tablet screen, such as the UI for picking the placeholder profile picture color, for example.

Is there a specific reason you're running graphene?

[–] Zectivi 6 points 1 year ago

I simply prefer the privacy and lack of bloat vs the stock image.

I'd love to buy this thing but the mediocre display is a dealbreaker. I hope they put out a premium version at some point.
