A new Google Pixel Tablet is not happening, at least not at this time. Pixel hardware is all the rage right now, thanks to Google’s announcement of the Pixel 10 series phones on August 20. At its late-morning event, Google announced a collection of new products, including the Pixel 10, the Pixel 10 Pro, the Pixel 10 Pro XL, and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. It also announced the Pixel Watch 4, Pixel Buds 2a, and a new color of the Pixel Buds Pro 2.
What hopeful consumers didn’t get was a new Pixel Tablet. Though realistically, it might have been a long shot that Google would reveal such a device to the world this week. There have been several rumors of an upcoming Pixel Tablet over the past year. However, compared to leaks and rumors of the Pixel 10 series, these were few and far between. And now there’s a good reason for that.
Google confirms a new Pixel Tablet is not happening
According to a recent report from Android Authority, Google has confirmed that it has no current plans for a new Pixel Tablet. Despite a few rumors that Google was making one, Google says it doesn’t have anything in the works. Whether or not that’s a bad thing depends on whether or not you really wanted another one of these devices from Google.
These details were initially touched on by Rick Osterloh from Google’s hardware team in an interview with Bloomberg. Osterloh breaks down several key focuses for the company on hardware products. None of which includes tablets at the moment. That could always change in the future. For now, though, it seems like Google is focused on phones and foldables. In addition to other hardware products, of course. Such as that mysterious new home speaker powered by Gemini.
There’s still hope for the future
Google may have put the kibosh on a new Pixel Tablet at this time, but there’s always hope for the future for those who choose to see it. Google has made its current plans clear. Having said that, plan change, and Google didn’t say it’s never making another Pixel Tablet. It merely said it doesn’t currently have any plans for a new one. For the time being, Google’s Pixel 10 Pro Fold might make a nice alternative if you want something that reaches toward the tablet category. As an added bonus, it can actually fit in your pocket.
