Google Pixel Tablet

Google’s Pixel Tablet is a product that’s a bit outside of the norm, probably to its detriment, but in crafting upcoming sequels, I hope Google doesn’t lose the charm of the first generation.

According to the latest rumors, Google will not be releasing a Pixel Tablet 2 next year.

When VPN by Google rolled out to older Pixel phones in June, the Pixel Tablet was excluded, though that might be changing. 

If Google is already planning for a 2027 tablet, a “Pixel Tablet 2” next year is not surprising and some basic aspects, like the design, have now been rumored.

The first Pixel Tablet was released in 2023, and a new Tensor G6 leak today reveals that Google is planning another large screen device for 2027. 

As announced with the October Pixel (Feature) Drop last week, Google is rolling out “Hold close to cast,” or tap to cast, between Pixel Pro phones and the Pixel Tablet.

Google has updated the confirmation tone that plays when you activate smart home hardware devices like lights, switches, and more with the Nest Hub, Nest Audio, and Pixel Tablet.

With a pair of new clock screen savers, the October 2023 Feature Drop for the Pixel Tablet is complete.

Google’s first Pixel Tablet is unique in a lot of ways, but it’s ultimately not a product that fits everyone’s needs. But, with an ongoing sale, the Pixel Tablet is an absolute steal.

To get the most out of your Pixel Tablet, here are some essential accessories we can’t live without.

Years after they were introduced and then removed from previous versions of Android, the latest beta for Android 15 QPR1 has arrived and brings back lock screen widget support, at least for tablets. Here’s how it works.

Google has been working on desktop windowing for a long time, and it’s finally being debuted on Android 15 QPR1 Beta 2 with the Pixel Tablet.

Gemini is now available on the Pixel Tablet if you have the “app” installed. Notably, some of the Google Assistant experience is preserved.

Android 15 Beta 3 introduces a new screensaver that shows Home Controls when charging. While this is ostensibly for the Pixel Tablet, it somewhat works on phones.

In addition to the new Android homescreen widget and Wear OS Tile, the Google Home app is getting a few more updates today, including Pixel Tablet doorbell alerts.

Following the Pixel Fold last month, Circle to Search is now starting to roll out on the Pixel Tablet. 

Google is currently offering an insane deal that could net you a Pixel Tablet for a little as $0 with an eligible iPad trade-in.

Yesterday Google announced that the Pixel Tablet would be available for sale without a dock, effectively re-launching the tablet for an entirely new type of customer. It would have been a bit exciting, had Apple not set a new bar for tablets just hours prior.

The Pixel Tablet launched last June and Google is now selling it for $399 with the Charging Speaker Dock no longer included.

The Pixel Tablet is finally getting an official keyboard and, while that’s potentially exciting, Google set a high bar for tablet keyboards nearly a decade ago, and one that Pixel Tablet likely won’t reach.
