The Pixel C is a 10.2-inch (260 mm) Android tablet developed and marketed by Google. The device was unveiled during a media event on September 29, 2015.[2] On October 9, 2018, it was succeeded by the Pixel Slate.[3]

Specifications

Hardware

The Pixel C is powered by the Nvidia Tegra X1 quad-core[4] system-on-a-chip. 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.[5]

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 the keyboard is snapped to the front of the tablet, it can be charged inductively by the tablet.[2][6]

The rear camera has eight megapixels and the front camera two. Both can record video at Full HD (1080p) resolution.[5]

Software

The Pixel C shipped with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.[6][7] Android 7.0 "Nougat" was released for the Pixel C, among other devices, on August 22.[8] Google released Android 7.1.1 Nougat for the Pixel C (among other devices) in December 2016.[9][10]

Android 7.1.2 was released in March 2017; it added the Pixel Launcher and System UI, as well as a redesigned recent apps menu with a new grid-based layout.[11][12] However, the Pixel Launcher that the Pixel C runs is reportedly separate from the launcher the Pixel phones run,[13] even though they are visually extremely similar, if not identical.

Google released Android 8.0 Oreo (without the Treble feature for device independent system updates)[1] for the Pixel C, among other devices, in August 2017.[14] Android 8.1 Oreo was released for the Pixel C, as well as some other devices, on December 5, 2017.[15]
