Regardless of whether the display is on/off, you can just lay your finger (instead of clicking) on the reader to unlock the tablet. Given the placement and angle, your index and maybe middle finger are the only ones that can comfortably reach it every time. There’s a reliable fingerprint sensor (up to five digits can be saved per user) in the power button at the top-right corner. There’s no real impact on functionality or durability, with Google telling us it conducted thorough testing. It’s not noticeable when you’re typing, and the only reason I bring it up is that it just feels different from the flagship phone you’re used to and a lot of tablets too. To me, the screen – which is protected by Gorilla Glass 3 (like on all past A-Series phones) – can easily depress with what I’d consider an average, non-forceful tap. Meanwhile, the “Rose” pink rear is very light and could be mistaken for white, with the green “Hazel” shade being the most distinct. The darker look is slimming and just blends in with the screen most of the time, especially to hide the front-facing camera and sensor cutout.
Google argues that the white bezel is better for using the device primarily as a smart home device, but we’d say black fits in quite well too and looks better in use as a tablet.
The white frame is fine, but black makes more sense in more use cases. The bezel comes in either white or black, depending on the model you buy.
The bezel surrounding the 10.95-inch LCD is nice to have and has a reasonable thickness, so you can always rest your thumb without obstructing the screen. It sure looks and feels like that initially, but there’s a bit more nuance. In designing the Pixel Tablet, Google didn’t just take the screen portion of the Nest Hub Max and call it a day.
