Google doesn’t have the greatest of histories when it comes to tablets, but the Pixel Tablet is its latest entry into a market normally dominated by Apple’s iPad lineup. And it’s onto a winner — we were big fans when we reviewed the Pixel Tablet, and that was at full price. Order now, and you can save $100 across the board.
Whether you want the entry-level 128GB model or need the extra breathing room afforded by the 256GB version, you can now save $100 with prices starting from just $399. The same applies whether you’re buying from Amazon, Best Buy or Google direct and there are multiple colors to choose from. And because this is the Pixel Tablet, you’ll get a charging speaker dock thrown in. What’s not to like?
Google returned to tablets after several iterations of Pixel phones and a lineup of smart home devices, and it is clear that what it has learned from those devices is being used in the Pixel Tablet (as well as the new hybrid Pixel Fold). It’s powered by Google’s in-house Tensor G2 chip, and its software experience mirrors that of the Pixel phone rather than leaning into a Chromebook-like experience as with the Slate. The included magnetic speaker dock also transforms the Pixel Tablet into a smart display a la Nest Hub.
The device features an 11-inch screen, 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage. There’s an 8-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls and also one on the back for snapping photos.

You can now pick up the Pixel Tablet for just $399, a 20% saving on the original asking price. The discount applies to all three colors, and because this is Amazon you can choose super-fast delivery, too. Need more than the 128GB base-level storage? You can upgrade to 256GB and pay $499, again saving $100.
Just like Amazon, Best Buy is now slashing the Pixel Tablet’s price by $100 for both the 128GB and 256GB models. Multiple colors are offered, and you can trade in your old device and save up to an additional $325 as well.
The $100 saving seems to be across the board, with the Google Store joining Best Buy and Amazon in offering the 128GB model for just $399. The upgraded 256GB model can be yours for $499 if you need the extra storage and both come with the speaker dock included.
