Some accessories of the yet-to-be-released Google Pixel Tablet have been spotted via Google code. This seems to confirm rumors about a keyboard and stylus for the tablet. Google started snipping the Pixel Tablet after it was showcased at I/O 2023.
The Google Tablet will come with a
first-party keyboard and stylus to enhance its versatility. It will also be
bundled with a charging dock that transforms the tablet into a smart speaker.
It is expected that Google will unveil more accessories for the tablet after
the release of Android 14 OS. There are hints however from Google code that the
new accessories will include the keyboard and stylus. The names of the two
accessories are Keyboard for Pixel Tablet and Stylus for Pixel Tablet.
The Pixel Tablet accessories have been
previously spotted by a developer. The new discovery was from the Pixel Retail
Demo app. This was accessed via the PixelSetupWizardOverlay APK. The two
accessories are categorized under currently selling Google products. Android 14
comes with improvements in keyboard and stylus integration. There are more
keyboard shortcuts and refined Stylus functions in Android 14. The tablet will
also support USB 2.0 styluses even though there are no Google-approved models
to date. The speculation only relates to evidence from Google code and no
pictures have been seen of either of the two accessories.
Google is getting set to unveil its lineup
of products during its autumn hardware launch event. Some of the models already
slated for launch are the Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and Pixel Watch 2. It remains
to be seen whether the Pixel Tablet will also make the cut.
