Google offers a better look at the Pixel tablet

We know the Pixel tablet is coming from I/O. It was one of a trio of upcoming hardware devices that the company previewed. The other two - Pixel 7 and Pixel Watch - are coming soon. Those who waited for the company's next swing on a tablet, on the other hand, are going to have to wait until next year.

The information device is designed to be the last major member of the Pixel family. Naturally, the system runs on Android, with Material You. The company says it has partnered with a number of key developers to design apps specifically for the big screen. All of this is powered by the same Tensor G2 chip announced for the new Pixel 7.

The most notable thing here is the addition of a new charging speaker dock. As the company notes, tablets stay home around 80% of the time, so the accessory is effectively designed to serve as a great Next Hub while charging.

The system magnetically connects to the docking station, which is designed to blend in with the rest of the Home/Nest range. It's a smart addition that effectively helps the system fulfill the role of two key members of the Google hardware family.

The company promises a better look at the Pixel tablet as it nears its launch in 2022.
