Google abandons the development of tablets definitively

This week, the decision and the new strategy would have been communicated to employees this week. The workers will be relocated to new teams within the company.

Goodbye to tablets

Google says goodbye to tablets, in order to focus efforts on other segments. It seems that the Pixelbooks will be the main beneficiaries, since the firm will soon launch a new model in this range. It is expected that this year we can already talk about a new Pixelbook for its part. Although so far there are few details about it.

With this decision, plans to launch some tablets that were under development have also been canceled. They were different models to the Pixel Slate, since in no case did they integrate a keyboard. But there are hardly any details about this range.

For current Pixel Slate, it is confirmed that Google will continue to release updates until June 2024. So the owners of some of them have five years of guaranteed use, being able to enjoy updates at all times, which is undoubtedly good news in this regard. We will have to see what products the company leaves us, now that their tablets are canceled.
