A new report on Google’s hardware plans confirms that tablet development is on hold for the time being.
It’s been over two years now since Google released the Pixel Tablet
Despite hearing from sources about work on a follow-up, the Pixel Tablet 2 was seemingly canceled
In a new interview, Google executives confirm that tablet development is on pause.
We are still coming down off the rush from Google’s latest big hardware launch, where the company introduced its full family of Pixel 10 smartphones, delivered a new Pixel Buds option, and showed off the Pixel Watch 4. While that lineup was just what we expected, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the one big gap in Google’s mobile hardware offerings: Where’s the tablet?
Google launched the Pixel Tablet back in 2023, and at first we were optimistic that we might be seeing the Pixel series embrace the form factor in much the same way Google did with Nexus devices years before. Even with the Pixel Tablet serving double-duty as the spiritual successor to the Nest Hub, it didn’t feel like a huge priority for Google, and by late 2024, rumors we had heard about plans for a Pixel Tablet 2 started to lose focus, and it sounded like Google was abandoning the project — even as we kept hope alive for what had been in the works as the Pixel Tablet 3.
