Amazon has accidentally leaked Google’s new Pixel tablet, which could be the first non-iPad tablet worth buying.

Android tablets have a problem: they’re cheap. I’d wager that most Android tablets are bought because people don’t want to pay for a more expensive iPad. That means they’re built to a price that means there’s really no reason to make them good. Add to that the fact that Android apps are just bloated phone apps, and you can see why you’d want an iPad if you want a good tablet experience. But the new Pixel tablet has a few tricks up its sleeve.

"The iPad has dominated the tablet market for a long time. While devices like the Microsoft Surface do well, they are more like compact PCs than tablets. The iPad dominates not only by having the best features, durability, and interface on the market, but also by selling their devices at competitive prices," Troy Portillo, COO of online learning platform Studypool, told Lifewire via email.

"The new Google Pixel looks set to change that. Not only does it have far better features and specs than previous Android tablets, it's also priced to undercut the iPad Air, making it a strong contender for that mainstream tablet market."
