Though the company has been building up to a Pixel Watch for years with back-to-back acquisitions, the Pixel Tablet seemingly came out of nowhere when it was initially teased at Google I/O in May. And during Google&#8217;s hardware event for the Pixel 7, we got an even better glimpse at it.

Google discontinued it in 2017, and a year later, in late 2018, the company unveiled the Pixel Slate — a two-in-one Chrome OS device. In mid-2019, Google announced it was done making in-house tablets and even canceled two unreleased products. That was also the end of the similarly unsuccessful Pixel Slate.

<h2>Will Google commit to the Pixel Tablet for good </h2> Google Google is infamous for not taking long to dump products when they don’t work out. So why did it bother to return to Android tablets? Other than offering a high-end experience for Android, Google’s products are meant to serve as inspiration for other manufacturers and keep the segment competitive instead of consolidating in the hands of a few like Samsung.

Will Google commit to the Pixel Tablet for good

Google Google is infamous for not taking long to dump products when they don’t work out. So why did it bother to return to Android tablets? Other than offering a high-end experience for Android, Google’s products are meant to serve as inspiration for other manufacturers and keep the segment competitive instead of consolidating in the hands of a few like Samsung.

Chrome OS, as a market, has vastly evolved and matured, however, and there’s an argument to be made that it no longer needs Google to show other companies the way. Still, Android tablets have faltered in the absence of attention from Google, and Apple now accounts for nearly half of all tablet shipments. This is also an opportunity for Google to further promote its in-house Tensor G2 chipset, the same one powering the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro.

The Pixel Tablet looks the part too. It doesn’t have any radical attributes like the iPad Pro’s computer-grade processor, nor does Google expect you to get work done on it. Without the Google logo, you’d be even hard-pressed to tell it apart from a generic Android tablet design.

It has a sufficiently large 10-inch screen with thick bezels, a camera on the front, another camera on the back, stylus support, and the Tensor G2 chip. It’s a tablet in a more traditional sense: a pragmatic stay-at-home device for watching movies on the couch or doodling on documents … except for those pins on the back. <h2>Why the Pixel Tablet might actually work</h2> Andrew Martonik/Digital Trends Like almost every Google product, the Pixel Tablet is aimed at roping its users into the company’s broader ecosystem of services (and in this case specifically, a Google-compatible smart home).

Those pins allow you to plop the Pixel Tablet on a wireless charging dock that instantly turns it into a Nest Hub. Once docked, you can use it as a dashboard from where you can control all your smart appliances, an always-on photo frame that shuffles through your Google Photos library, a videoconference hub, and more.

It’s the sort of concept that Amazon and its Alexa partners like Lenovo already offer, and there’s a decent chance the Pixel Tablet will serve as a blueprint for third-party Android manufacturers to follow. Google Considering the rest of the Pixel lineup’s competitive pricing, the Pixel Tablet will likely take on Apple’s entry-level iPad and undercut it.

So far, it looks like a dependable Android tablet with a processor that will promise buyers years of smooth performance and updates. But with the smart home dock, the Pixel Tablet will, most importantly, appeal to those invested in Google’s smart home ecosystem. And for those people, the Pixel Tablet is far more versatile than dedicated hubs like the Nest Hub Max.

If Google doesn&#8217;t delay it too much and plays its card right, the Pixel Tablet might just work. Whether Google’s inconsistent record with in-house tablets and computers will hinder its success, though, remains to be seen.
