In May, Google previewed the Pixel Tablet, a tablet expected next year. The Pixel Tablet’s affordable or mid-range style aroused eyebrows when it was teased with the Pixel 7 and Pixel Watch.
What’s New?
Kuba Wojciechowski noticed in Android code that the Pixel Tablet uses obsolete Sony IMX355 camera sensors, suggesting Google will promote the tablet as a cheaper gadget.
Google may introduce two tablets at I/O 2022. Wojciechowski reports on Twitter that Google has included references to a hypothetical ‘Pro’ variant, perhaps the Pixel Tablet Pro.
What’s More?
Android 13 QPR1 Beta 1 has the codename ‘Tangorpro,’ while the Pixel Tablet’s codename is ‘Tangor’ Google has included references to ‘T6Pro,’ a model identifier for a more expensive Pixel Tablet alternative.
Android 13 shows no hardware modifications from ‘Tangor,’ according to Wojciechowski. The basic Pixel Tablet will have Google’s first-generation Tensor processor, unlike the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro.
Digging Into More Details
The Pixel Tablet reportedly lacks 32-bit software support to maximize its poor RAM.
Google may differentiate the Pixel Tablet from Pixel Tablet Pro. We may be seeing early code that Google will improve before the pair’s release.
Google plans to release the Pixel 7 series, Pixel Watch, and Pixel Fold in March 2023.
