I tried thoroughly verifying how long the battery of 'Google Pixel Tablet' lasts & how long it can be fully charged



On June 20, 2023 (Tuesday), Google's genuine Android tablet ' Google Pixel Tablet ' appeared. I was wondering what kind of device the genuine tablet that appeared from Google for the first time in a long time is finished, so even the GIGAZINE editorial department got one and is thoroughly verifying the performance. Since we have performed

appearance checks and benchmark tests so far, this time we tried to verify the battery duration and battery charging time, which are important when choosing a mobile device.

◆ Verification of battery duration
In order to verify the battery duration of the Google Pixel Tablet, after fully charging the battery, continue playing YouTube's live distribution in full screen mode, shoot the situation with the camera every minute and check the moment when the power turns off I was. At this time, the brightness of the screen was set to maximum, the volume was set to about 70%, and the battery saver was set to OFF.



Verification started at 21:22.



About 6 hours later, at 3:21, the notification 'Do you want to turn on the super battery saver?' Was displayed. This time, leave it without operating anything and wait for the battery to run out.



After that, at 4:06, the battery level was 0% and the screen was cut off. It is a calculation that the live distribution could be played for 6 hours and 44 minutes from the start of verification. In addition, when

the same verification was performed on Google smartphones 'Pixel 7' and 'Pixel 7 Pro', Pixel 7 was able to play live distribution for 10 hours and 39 minutes, and Pixel 7 Pro for 13 hours and 2 minutes. It seems that Google Pixel Tablet can only operate continuously for a short time compared to smartphones.



Next, I checked the time until the battery ran out by executing the operation 'live delivery of front camera video on YouTube' from the fully charged state.



If you check the distribution screen after the battery runs out and the power goes off, you can see that the live distribution was continued for 5 hours and 43 minutes. Since the video was not disturbed during live distribution, it seems that the operation to continuously operate the camera and wireless communication can be done without problems.



◆ Verification of battery charging time
The Google Pixel Tablet comes with a dedicated stand 'charging speaker holder' with charging function and speaker function. In order to verify the charging time with the charging speaker holder, the battery level of the Google Pixel Tablet was set to 0% and then set in the charging speaker holder, and the remaining battery level was recorded every 15 minutes.



The Google Pixel Tablet has a charging optimization feature that slows down the charging speed to extend battery life. If you want to fast charge the battery, you need to open the battery settings screen and tap the button that says 'Full charge'. This time I want to know the charging time when charging as fast as possible, so I tapped 'Full charge'



When the charge optimization function is canceled, 'Fully charging' is displayed.



Below is the result of recording the remaining battery level every 15 minutes with the optimization function disabled. It was able to charge to 44% in 60 minutes after charging started, 86% in 120 minutes, and 100% in 165 minutes after charging started.



As a result of verification, it turned out that the Google Pixel Tablet has a shorter battery life than high-end smartphones and the battery charging performance is not high. Since the Google Pixel Tablet is equipped with a `` function that can be used like a smart speaker when set in a charging speaker holder '', Google may mainly assume use while connected to a power supply.
