Astounding new deal makes the 256GB Google Pixel Tablet cheaper than ever at Amazon and Best Buy
Released back in the summer of 2023 with an obligatory charging speaker dock and freed from that burden convenient companion last year, the first-gen Pixel Tablet is unlikely to ever receive a sequel. As such, a product discontinuation could happen at any moment, but until then, the Google Tensor G2-powered giant is massively discounted yet again. Although we've seen retailers like Amazon and Best Buy run many compelling Pixel Tablet sales in recent months, you're not looking at a repetitive or instantly forgettable deal here. Instead, you have the totally unprecedented chance to save a colossal $190 on a 256GB storage variant in your choice of Hazel or Porcelain colorways. Wi-Fi Only, 256GB Storage, 8GB RAM, Google Tensor G2 Processor, Android 15, 10.95-Inch IPS LCD Screen with 2560 x 1600 Pixel Resolution, 8MP Rear-Facing Camera, 8MP Front Camera, 7,020mAh Battery with 15W Charging Capabilities, Hazel Color, No Speaker Dock Included Buy at Amazon Wi-Fi Only, 256GB Storage, 8GB RAM, Google Tensor G2 Processor, Android 15, 10.95-Inch IPS LCD Screen with 2560 x 1600 Pixel Resolution, 8MP Rear-Facing Camera, 8MP Front Camera, 7,020mAh Battery with 15W Charging Capabilities, Porcelain Color, No Speaker Dock Included Buy at BestBuy That's right, this particular configuration of the 10.95-inch slate with 8GB RAM (and no dock) is available at a new record low price, and unsurprisingly, you'll need to hurry to take advantage of this presumably unbeatable promotion, especially if you have a clear chromatic preference. The "porcelain" (aka white) model, mind you, is only sold at a higher-than-ever discount of 190 bucks by Best Buy for 24 hours, and depending on your demand, the retailer could well run out of inventory before the end of the day. The same probably goes for Amazon, which sells the 256GB Google Pixel Tablet for a whopping $190 under its $499 regular price in a single "hazel" hue without actually listing an expiration date for the phenomenal new deal. That doesn't necessarily mean this will run for (a lot) more than 24 hours, though, so be sure to hurry up and pull the trigger if you think you're looking at the best tablet for your particular set of needs and budget. It may not be the prettiest tablet in the world, but for its new all-time low price, the Pixel Tablet is handsome enough. | Image Credit -- PhoneArena I'm not going to lie to you, our Pixel Tablet review a couple of years ago was not very positive, but Google did manage to fix some of those early flaws with software updates, and at this newly reduced price, I'm pretty certain many of you will be more inclined to focus on the screen quality and overall user experience strengths than the audio quality and raw power weaknesses. Simply put, the value equation might be too good right now to deny yourself a purchase.

Amazon is selling the 256GB Google Pixel Tablet (sans dock) at its lowest ever price again
If you're looking for the best Android tablet money can buy in 2025, the Pixel Tablet is... probably not it. But if you think you can settle for a decent device with a large but not uncomfortable screen, respectable processing power, excellent sound, and above all, stellar software support, this might be the moment to pull the trigger. That's because Amazon is slashing a whopping 140 bucks off the Google-made slate in a 256GB storage configuration and a single Porcelain color option at the time of this writing. If the hefty new discount happens to feel familiar, you should know that retailers like Amazon and Best Buy, as well as Google itself, have offered it a couple of times before. Wi-Fi Only, 256GB Storage, 8GB RAM, Google Tensor G2 Processor, Android 13, 10.95-Inch IPS LCD Screen with 2560 x 1600 Pixel Resolution, 8MP Rear-Facing Camera, 8MP Front Camera, 7,020mAh Battery with 15W Charging Capabilities, Porcelain Color, No Speaker Dock Included Buy at Amazon But the last time was around two months ago, and at least to my knowledge, no Pixel Tablet variant has been marked down more steeply than this at any point since the product made its commercial debut back in the summer of 2023. That means that you're looking at a very hard-to-turn-down promotion that may never return, as sooner or later, Google will retire this device... and unfortunately probably not roll out a sequel. Initially released alongside a speaker dock that clearly not everyone appreciated, the Pixel Tablet is deeply discounted here all alone. Still, you should be satisfied by this thing's productivity and entertainment prowess, especially for that price. Can you do better in the sub-$400 segment? Our not-very-flattering in-depth Pixel Tablet review from a couple of years ago certainly seems to suggest so, especially if you look at all those amazing mid-rangers Lenovo often sells for around $300... or even less. But Lenovo has nothing on Google in terms of software updates, so if you plan to use your tablet for more than a couple of years, this may well be your best choice... if you hurry. And yes, in case you're wondering, the 128GB variant (with or without a bundled dock) is also discounted right now, just not as steeply, making the 256 gig model an undeniably better "investment."
