Last year was a very busy year for Google in terms of hardware development. The company presented its first foldable smartphone, in addition to renewing the existing Pixel generations as usual. In addition to these, the Pixel Tablet also made its debut, about which fresh rumors have now come to light.
This year, the Google Pixel tablet is also being prepared for those interested, and it seems that the biggest change this time will not affect the hardware, but the contents of the package. One of the special features of the Pixel Tablet was that Google launched the product with a dockable speaker. The device was able to charge on this, while also proving to be a great partner for listening to high-quality music. He held the machine at such an angle that it was comfortable to use even when docked.
The Pixel Tablet was available together with the Charging Speaker Dock unit, but this year Google’s “reference” tablet may go to stores without a docking station. It will be available for purchase separately, but the company will not charge for it in all cases. The supplement itself will cost 100 euros in Europe, in the eurozone. As for the Pixel Tablet itself, we trust that it will cost a similar amount and a more modest amount, but the rumor has not yet said anything about it.
Google is also preparing a new pen and compatible keyboard for the Pixel Tablet. Together, these will cost 200 euros, which is not an insignificant amount. It is not yet known what these accessories will provide, touch pens and keyboards can also promise many possibilities. Especially when customers have to dig so deep into their pockets for them.
Equipped with the pen and row of buttons, the Pixel Tablet becomes a significantly better productivity tablet. The keyboard will likely be designed to protect the screen when you’re carrying it. Originally, Google designed this device as a home device, but in the new package it will move in a new direction. It will be much more of an opponent of traditional Android tablets and cheaper iPads.
The accessories are rumored to be colored similarly to the Pixel Tablet to match. Google usually tries to provide this, so this is not surprising. The company can predictably announce the renewed package at the Google I/O developer conference in the first half of May, just as the Pixel 8a will also appear at this event. So we are already expecting several hardware-related announcements, in addition to the fact that software and artificial intelligence will definitely be on the table.
