TL;DR<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been over two years now since Google released the Pixel Tablet
\nDespite hearing from sources about work on a follow-up, the Pixel Tablet 2 was seemingly canceled
\nIn a new interview, Google executives confirm that tablet development is on pause.<\/p>\n
We are still coming down off the rush from Google\u2019s latest big hardware launch<\/a>, 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\u2019s becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the one big gap in Google\u2019s mobile hardware offerings: Where\u2019s the tablet?<\/p>\n 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\u2019t feel like a huge priority for Google, and by late 2024, rumors we had heard about plans for a Pixel Tablet 2<\/a> started to lose focus, and it sounded like Google was abandoning the project \u2014 even as we kept hope alive for what had been in the works as the Pixel Tablet 3<\/a>.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n Here in 2025, there\u2019s been even less motion on tablets from Google. Really, the only progress we\u2019ve seen has been the Pixel Tablet Pen<\/a> mysteriously surfacing recently. Would Google\u2019s interest in pushing Chrome OS and Android together<\/a> into a merged platform rekindle some of the old tablet love?<\/p>\n Sadly, that\u2019s sounding less and less likely \u2014 at least on any immediate timeframe.<\/p>\n Today Bloomberg<\/a> shares a sprawling report on the state of Google\u2019s ambitions, speaking to Rick Osterloh and other executives. It talks about the role of Pixel hardware as a means to share Google\u2019s software advancements, and touches on the company\u2019s interest in alternate form factors like smart glasses<\/a>.<\/p>\n Sadly, though, it also includes a brief aside that appears to confirm that tablets are not among Google\u2019s priorities at the moment. Neither tablets nor smart rings are currently in development, and it sounds like Google thinks that the evolving state of smartphones is filling the niche tablets once did in users\u2019 lives \u2014 presumably with larger foldable phones stepping up there.<\/p>\n That\u2019s a bit of a bummer for Pixel fans who still carry a torch for more traditional tablet options, but even if a new Pixel Tablet isn\u2019t currently in active development, that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean Google\u2019s done for good. Like we said, what\u2019s going on with Chrome OS is uncharted territory, and the more desktop-y Android gets<\/a>, the more a new tablet stands to sound very appealing.<\/p>\n
