Pixel C is a 10.2-inch Android tablet developed and marketed by Google. The device was unveiled during a media event on September 29, 2015.[1]

Specifications

Hardware

The Pixel C is powered by the Nvidia Tegra X1 octa-core system-on-a-chip, which is based on ARM's "big.LITTLE" architecture, four cores being faster, while the other four are slower and more power efficient.[2][3] It features 3 GB of RAM and models are available with 32 GB and 64 GB of storage. The Pixel C features a 10.2 inches (260 mm) 2560×1800 resolution IPS panel with a pixel density of 308 ppi.

An optional keyboard accessory is available for the Pixel C. The tablet can attach to the keyboard magnetically via a hinge (to use as a laplet), or the keyboard can be attached to the front or back of the tablet for storage. The keyboard connects via Bluetooth and is battery powered; when keyboard is snapped to the front of the tablet, it can be charged inductively by the tablet itself.[1][4]

Software

The Pixel C shipped with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.[4][5] Android 7.0 "Nougat" was released for the Pixel C on August 22.[6]

Android 7.1.2 was released in March 2017; it adds the Pixel Launcher and System UI, as well as a redesigned recent apps menu with a new grid-based layout.[7][8]
