A new rumor claims that Google is prepping a new Pixel Tablet for release next month. However, it’s not exactly the sequel you may be expecting.
It’s been almost a year since the Google Pixel Tablet went up for preorder, leading many Android tablet fans to wonder when the inevitable Pixel Tablet 2 will arrive. A new rumor suggests that Google could release a new Pixel Tablet as early as next month, but it’s probably not what you were expecting or hoping for.
According to @MysteryLupin on X (formerly Twitter), Google is planning to “relaunch” the Pixel Tablet without the charging/speaker dock included in the box. As you’ll likely recall, the speaker dock is the Pixel Tablet’s standout feature. You can use the Pixel Tablet on its own as a traditional Android tablet when you want, and when you’re done, you throw it on the dock to transform it into a smart display. The idea of Google selling the Pixel Tablet without its claim to fame is an interesting one.
The current iteration of the Pixel Tablet (with the speaker dock included) retails for $499, with additional docks available for $129 a pop. A Pixel Tablet sans dock would presumably be much cheaper, potentially retailing for around $370 or $350.
