Summary:
- Google’s Pixel Tablet 2 has reportedly been cancelled due to concerns about poor sales.
- Rumors suggest that Google may be working on a Pixel Tablet 3 instead.
- The future of the Pixel Tablet line remains uncertain, with hopes for potential announcements at Google I/O.
The Pixel Tablet 2, Google’s flagship Android tablet, has been the subject of much speculation since its expected release alongside the Pixel 9 range of phones and Pixel Watch 3 did not materialize. Reports indicate that the Pixel Tablet 2, codenamed ‘kiyomi,’ has been cancelled due to fears of underwhelming sales, following leaks about the device. While rumors about the Pixel Tablet 2 have quieted down, there is still hope for a potential Pixel Tablet 3 in the future, possibly featuring a powerful Tensor G6 processor.
Speculations about the Pixel Tablet 2’s pricing suggest a similar structure to the original model, with options for a bundled docking station. However, critics have called for the option to purchase the tablet separately, a mistake Google may rectify with the second generation. Pricing the Pixel Tablet 2 competitively, around £399/$399 for the tablet alone, could help it better compete with rivals like the iPad.
Despite the cancellation of the Pixel Tablet 2, leaks about its specifications shed light on what could have been, hinting at potential features for the Pixel Tablet 3. Improvements in design, display, performance, cameras, and software were expected, showcasing Google’s commitment to enhancing the tablet’s capabilities. While the fate of the Pixel Tablet 2 remains uncertain, enthusiasts eagerly await any news at the upcoming Google I/O developer conference.
