Google Pixel Tablet

The latest Beta preview of Android 13’s second quarterly update includes new details about the Google Pixel Tablet dock and ways to use the stylus.

Google has steadily been preparing for the upcoming Pixel Tablet launch, and we’re now able to show a fun video recreation of what it’ll be like to use the tablet.

All signs point to Google releasing not one, but two Android tablets in 2023. The question is, why is Google making a Pixel Tablet Pro at all?

In what’s no longer a surprising occurrence for unreleased Google hardware, a leak of the Pixel Tablet and its Charging Speaker Dock has surfaced on Facebook Marketplace.

Google’s December Play System Updates ready a beta test for keeping a digital driver’s license in your Android phone’s Wallet app while also preparing for next year’s Pixel Tablet.

Update 2: Google is readying the launch of an expanded “Find My Device” feature for Android, along with expanded support for digital car keys.

With recent updates to the Google Search app, Google has been steadily preparing redesigns of Discover and the Assistant for the Pixel Tablet.

In talking with Google and learning more about the Pixel Tablet, my biggest takeaway is that pulling double duty as an Assistant Smart Display will be its path to success. It all comes down to execution, which of course is harder said than done given that Google basically tried with Assistant Ambient Mode two years ago. Meanwhile, Apple is rumored to be right behind the Pixel Tablet and following the same strategy for the iPad.

While the Pixel 7 series retains the under-display fingerprint sensor, next year’s Pixel Tablet and the future Pixel foldable will use side-mounted traditional sensors. New code reveals the display resolutions for both devices.

After Samsung’s adoption last year, the upcoming Pixel Watch launch will serve as the next biggest catalyst for Wear OS as an app platform, and Google is explicitly making that case.

Besides sharing that the Pixel Tablet is powered by Tensor G2 and has a Charging Speaker Dock, Google showed more of the Android UI and several Smart Display-inspired screens.

Stop me if you’ve heard this cycle before: Google is optimizing Android for tablets. I could either be talking about 2011’s 3.0 Honeycomb or an effort that started in 2021 with Android 12L, is continuing with Android 13, and is supposed to be ongoing. Recent app activity makes me optimistic, while Google in May made a non-insignificant first-party hardware commitment to support the latest form factor push. That continued today when Google made time during the Pixel 7 and Pixel Watch event to preview a few more details about the Pixel Tablet.

Ahead of the Pixel event, a pre-release Google Home update includes early signs of two distinct docks for next year’s Pixel tablet.

We’re just a few short days away from Google’s hardware event on October 6, which is set to bring the Pixel 7 phones and quite a bit more. From the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro to all the latest Nest smart home gear, here’s everything we’re expecting Google to announce.
