So long as your Google tablet with Android software is running Android version 4.4 or newer, then yes, it can absolutely be used to control the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180.
Based on some research it looks like the Android 4.4 was from 2014 and 2015, so any device from that time period or later should have that, though you'll want to check the settings of your tablet. As for the devices, there aren't any that work better than others, you just need Android 4.4 or later and iOS 8 or later for Apple devices. It looks like iOS 8 was from the iPhone 4S and up, but you will want to check in the settings of your Apple device to ensure you have it.
Most devices should have their operating systems update, so the vast majority of even older ones should work, but it's important to verify.
