Wants to stop taking its tablets

Search engine Google has canned Pixel Tablet 3 development and could exit the tablet industry.

This decision leaves the upcoming Pixel Tablet 2, which will be out next year, as Google's final effort in the tablet business.

Multiple sources claim that Google has abandoned the project to focus on other priorities. Consequently, the team working on the Pixel Tablet 3 has been reassigned to other projects.

Internally referred to as "Kiyomi," the Pixel Tablet 3 was axed last week. Google's last tablet, the Pixel Tablet, was launched in 2023, with rumours suggesting that the Pixel Tablet 2 could launch in 2025.

Google is expected to equip the Pixel Tablet 2 with upgraded cameras and a new Tensor chipset. While the design will likely remain like the original Pixel Tablet, the latest model could feature reduced bezels on the front. Additionally, Google is speculated to be working on an official keyboard cover for the tablet.

The Pixel Tablet 2 could bring support for display output, offer seven years of updates due to the upgraded chipset, and run Android 15 or 16, depending on its release timeline.

There are speculations that Google may shift its focus to the rumoured Pixel Laptop powered by Android. Instead of dividing resources between two different Android products, excluding Android phones, the company appears to be prioritising the Android laptop, which is rumoured to target the premium laptop market.
