Before the Pixel Tablet 2 was reportedly nixed, Google was eyeing a 120Hz screen upgrade, larger battery, and better cameras for the ill-fated successor.
The fate of Google ’s Pixel Tablet seems uncertain at this point, with multiple leaks suggesting that a successor was put on ice. It seems, however, that a Pixel Tablet 2 moved into advanced stages of development with some neat upgrades before it was unceremoniously axed.
Related The current-gen Pixel Tablet offers a 60Hz LCD screen, which is arguably subpar for the asking price of $499 at the very minimum. “Scrolling through menus, apps, etc., looks slow and choppy on the Pixel Tablet — as do any system animations,” said the Digital Trends review of the slate. “The last upgrade Google was going to bring to the tablet was support for DisplayPort output up to 4K,” adds the report. The company was reportedly planning an updated lineup of accessories for the tablet, including a keyboard case, as well.
What’s worrisome is Google’s historically lackadaisical approach to committing to a form factor and making iterative upgrades to it in the long run. The Pixel Tablet falls into one such category, even though Google has moved firmly into an adjacent one with its recent focus on folding phones — most recently, the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
