This rumored Google Pixel Tablet update could kill our favorite feature


Google’s original Pixel Tablet stands out among the rest for one feature: its charging speaker dock. And according to @MysteryLupin on X (via Digital Trends), Google may be relaunching the Pixel Tablet without its dock — a very strange decision.

Instead, the tweet suggests that the new Pixel Tablet will launch “together with a Pen and Bluetooth Keyboard,” which will reportedly retail for €100 (or roughly $100) each. If this is true, Google may be chasing the more traditional tablet market with this update, positioning the Pixel Tablet as a laptop or Chromebook replacement rather than as a smart display replacement, but that would mean it’d probably need upgraded specs.

What kind of Pixel Tablet is Google working on?

It’s possible that Google could simply be separating the existing Pixel Tablet as-is from the speaker dock to sell it as a standalone tablet at a lower price, but that doesn’t seem like an announcement worthy of Google I/O 2024.

To me, what seems more likely is that Google would use its I/O event to announce an upgraded tablet — possibly the next-gen Pixel Tablet 2 or an upgraded Pixel Tablet Pro — along with the choice of buying the speaker dock, pen, and keyboard separately.
