During the recent made by Google Event, where the new Pixel 10 smartphone, Pixel Watch 4 and Pixelsnap were all unveiled, a key product was missing: a new pixel tablet. It turns out that Google has paused on a follow -up, leaving the fans of a new generation tablet.
A detail Bloomberg report reveals that Google leaders explain how Pixel Equipment highlights the company’s software innovations. It also plunges into Google’s current approach – or rather, its lack of concentration – with regard to tablets.
Google confirmed that it had no tablet in the pipeline, suggesting that the category has slipped its list of priorities. The arrival of the company is that today’s oversized phones and folding Already manage most job tablets once (via Android authority).
The news is not exactly unexpected. Previous reports have already suggested that Google has canceled the Pixel 2 tablet.
Two years later, still no real tablet push
It has been more than two years since Google has made a real push in the tablets space. While the first pixel tablet had its shortcomings, it has shown enough promise to arouse interest in follow -up. Google then abandoned the angle of a hybrid intelligent speaker and sold it as an autonomous device instead, a change which gave it a clearer identity and a more attractive price.
The point to remember here is that the pixel tablet does not sell well enough for Google to justify a suite. Instead, it seems that the Nest team can support Google’s plans on the more important screen, putting more energy in products like the Nest Hub and Hub Max rather than on autonomous shelves.
The history of Google with tablets have been rocky, marked by inconsistent efforts that have not experienced much momentum. Even after several tests, he has still not published a device that can seriously challenge the iPad’s advance in sales or daily popularity.
