Google recently pulled the Pixel Tablet and its entire tablet section from its online store, and reports indicated a follow-up model had been scrapped. Yet multiple current Google Careers postings, including roles for Pixel Core USB and Pixel Display engineering, explicitly mention work spanning Pixel phones, foldables, and tablets, including references to 'upcoming' tablet hardware.
Google has removed the Pixel Tablet from its official store, with links now redirecting to the general landing page, even though the device will keep getting software support through 2028. The move effectively ends new sales of Google's only current tablet without an announced successor.
Google has removed its entire Tablets section from the Google Store, taking the Pixel Tablet with it after the device was recently listed as out of stock. The move effectively confirms the discontinuation of the $899, Tensor G2-powered tablet launched in 2023, though a few accessories like a speaker stand remain purchasable.
Google has removed the Pixel Tablet from its online store and dropped the 'Tablet' category from its site navigation, following earlier reports that the device was marked out of stock. Most Pixel Tablet accessories, including the case and charging speaker dock, are also unavailable, with only a third-party speaker stand still purchasable. The tablet has similarly vanished from Amazon, and Best Buy lists it as no longer available in new condition.
Google is broadening its cross-platform file-sharing feature that lets Quick Share work with Apple's AirDrop, with reports now surfacing from Pixel 7 and Pixel 8 owners seeing enabling notifications. This follows an earlier sighting of the feature reaching the Pixel Tablet, suggesting Google is rolling the capability out beyond the Pixel 8a-and-newer devices that first got it last fall.
A screenshot spotted by Joe Lenington on X shows the Google Pixel Tablet running Android 17 now displays Quick Share's Apple-device file-sharing interface, previously limited to select smartphones. Google's official FAQ page hasn't been updated to list the tablet, but fine print confirms the feature covers tablets as well as phones.
