The fact that the speakers (dock) can't be used as a standalone Google Nest speakers blows my mind and keeps me from making this purchase. It makes no sense to me why it requires the tablet to be on the dock to play music.
You can see from these benchmarks that the G2 beats some of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC's in sustained GPU stress tests. It's not the best out there for sure, but it is a step up from the 865.
Now all that said, my S7 is incredible and I don't intend to move on from it until I see a significant performance jump. We're probably already there with the SD 8 Gen 2 chips, but I'm holding out until whatever the next iteration of Samsung's Tab series is. I expect that's when I'll make the change. I just like the concept of the Pixel Tablet. If they make a second generation version of it I expect it could be quite good though I think they might bail on the line.
if you really knew what you were talking about you'd know snapdragon drivers are so much better than the mali GPU the tensor uses. benchmarks mean very little in this situation and combined with tensor's horrible overall CPU inefficiency the SD865 outclasses the tensor in gaming badly. heavy gamers and emulation users know exactly what im talking about go look on reddit and other forums
Disappointing. Returned mine after a day. Not a fan of Android OS. Apple feels so much more polished. I really hope they release a smart home hub like this in 2024.
Funny I sold my iPad air and got the Galaxy tab 9, so much better than iPad
Vote with your wallet. 128gb mSD card cost $10, an SSD $20, but they want a $100 for 128 gb storage upgrade.
How long you consumers will tolerate the lack of memory card slots? Yeah yeah I know what you are going to say, they are gone bla bla - they are gone because of you!

Yeah but can you uninstall Facebook and bloatware now? Had galaxy S9 and note 20 ultra I couldn't uninstall FB and other bloat without the use of ADB commands. Call me old fashioned but that's digusting.
Sales cutting measure. They priced this out of the gate as though it was as refined as an iPad with apps optimized for the additional screen space. It's not. It likely won't ever be that. But Google marketers roll up the windows after a nice long chipotle lunch and breathe in deeply.
This is a $350 device tops. It should be on sale for $250 because at that price, the value is clear. At $400 it's still an overpriced hobbled device.

No Facebook installed. Most Samsung apyp can be installed. Very minimal bloat, with a minimum of 8g of ram and expandable storage..
Because the dock is literally just a speaker with a USB-C DAC and charging pass-through in it.
To do what you're asking would require a Bluetooth receiver in addition to the USB-C DAC.
But it doesn't stop there, right? Because the next thing you would expect is a perfect handoff of audio each time you remove or place the tablet on the dock.
In order to facilitate that, a custom codec would have to be created, as the default SBC codec always has a brief silence when output changes.
A custom automatic task that always runs in the background to make sure Bluetooth is turned on whenever the tablet is placed in the dock would also need to be created, if they aren't already managing aspects of that (like turning off auto pairing when the device is docked).
When all is said and done, it adds another $100-200 to the MSRP for a feature you probably wouldn't actually use all too often.
bluetooth receivers are $5 on macro.....
man just watch the next gen of this product do include a bluetooth receiver to just look like a complete tool with no basic standards
StrifeZero, that title is B.S. You list the most expensive item first with the price inline with the title, then put the green highlighted price as a lower priced item that is mentioned way later in the title. Those long titles get cut off on the end and the actual price is buried while the B.S. You should look at tDames's posts for an example on how to write a proper title.
