The Pixel Tablet is done, as Google has officially pulled the plug on the slate by entirely deleting the listing on its store.
Google launched the Pixel Tablet in 2023 as a hybrid of a typical Android tablet and a Nest Hub smart display. It was met with mixed reactions, but still serves as the only tablet in Google’s lineup.
And now it’s done.
While updates are set to continue through 2028, Google has quietly removed the Pixel Tablet from its Store. A direct link to the listing now redirects to the homepage, while there’s also no mention of the Pixel Tablet anywhere on the Google Store besides a few accessories that remain. The change was spotted by Jetstream earlier today.
Sales of the Pixel Tablet closed up in late August (thanks Noah!), but the listing was still working roughly a week ago – we checked it when Nest prices went up, and the Tablet was still listed as out of stock at the time (August 31). It’s the same old pattern, a device goes out of stock before being removed from the store. Generally speaking, removing the device from its store is Google’s way of marking a device as discontinued – another recent example would be Nest Mini and Nest Audio, which were removed and confirmed as discontinued not long after going out of stock.
Google never did ship a Pixel Tablet sequel, with rumors of some big upgrades being canceled over profitability concerns. Had a sequel continued on, it allegedly would have arrived in 2025, with a third-gen release in 2027 that was also shelved.

Such a shame. I absolutely love mine. It did replace a Home Max display for me, as well as fulfilling any family tablet needs with its multiple profiles, including kids tablet for piano leaving app. Mostly nailed it for my use case.
I hoped for a v2 with a bit better dock speaker and whatever spec bumps. Thankfully everything ranges from great to good enough, so I'll keep mine probably through its final security update.
While third-party retailers often have stock left over when Google ends its own sales of a product, Pixel Tablet is out of stock everywhere we’ve looked. Amazon doesn’t even have any third-party sellers with stock left.
RIP.
