Production was halted on a successor to the Pixel Slate as well as two unannounced tablets, with the company refocusing its attention on the Pixelbook laptop series.

[1][2] In March 2022, 9to5Google reported that the company was developing a Google Assistant–powered smart display similar to the Nest Hub with a detachable tablet-style screen.

It also features two speakers on its right edge and a power button just above the back camera, in the top right corner of the body.

Google also mentioned that the Pixel Tablet has a body made out of 100 % recycled aluminum and features a nano-ceramic coating.

Following the announcement of the Pixel Tablet and Pixel Watch at the 2022 Google I/O, The Verge's Jon Porter opined that Google was taking a subtle approach at Apple's "walled garden" ecosystem strategy,[11] while his colleague Dan Seifert found the tablet's design unattractive and cheap-looking.
