Google, along with the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, also introduced the Pixel Slate, the company’s latest tablet running Chrome OS that can also run Android apps via Google Play. It has a new 12.3-inch (3000 x 2000 pixels) 293 PPI 2.5D curved glass Molecular Display, is just 7mm thin and has dual front-firing speakers. It has an extra layer of protection with the Titan security chip so your information, device passwords and OS are protected on your device.
It is powered by 8th Gen Intel Core m3, i5 or i7 processor, or Intel Celeron processor, up to 16GB of RAM, up to 256 GB storage, and 8MP cameras on both the rear and front, and the front-facing Duo Cam provides an extra wide field of view. The power button doubles as a fingerprint sensor and the Pixel Slate promises up to 12 hours of battery life with typical mixed usage.
Pixel Slate Keyboard has round Hush Keys, dedicated Google Assistant key and an extra large trackpad. The Pixel Slate also works with Pixelbook Pen, which launched last year.
