Pixel Tablet: all about entertainment Tushar Mehta/Digital TrendsĪt last week’s Google I/O 2023 conference, Google talked about several updates coming to its services, mainly AI-backed improvements. This leads us to my next point about how Google restricts the Pixel Tablet’s utility to just one aspect: entertainment. And while the Pixel Tablet has powerful internal hardware to run those apps or games, the display limits the output to a maximum of 60 frames per second (fps) owing to the 60Hz refresh rate. Countless Android apps, especially games, now support higher refresh rates for a better visual experience. In its current flagship lineup, the Pixel 7 is still limited to a 90Hz refresh rate, and the same goes for the Pixel 8.įrom Google’s vantage, that is justified for a device expected to be used as a display hooked to a speaker for most of its lifetime - but that is where the problem lies. While even budget Android smartphones now come equipped with 120Hz or higher refresh rates, Google has been very picky in terms of which devices will support a display that refreshes faster. In the past, Google has displayed exceptional lethargy in upgrading displays to support a higher refresh rate. Meanwhile, the Pixel Tablet is still stuck with a 60Hz display. The display has a 144Hz refresh rate display, which means the contents on the display update 144 times every second, allowing the OnePlus Pad to render smooth animations for launching or transitioning between apps, scrolling webpages, and playing games. The OnePlus Pad rocks an 11.6-inch display with a 2800 x 2000 resolution.
