Google’s Pixel Tablet Pro Gets Name and Spec Clarity

As we speak is a day of readability surrounding a beforehand rumored Pixel Pill “Professional” mannequin that had us questioning Google’s technique surrounding tablets. As if it isn’t laborious sufficient to promote Android tablets, promoting low and high-end fashions appeared like an odd transfer to start out out a re-entry into the area. Nicely, because of a brand new report with a lot of leaky enjoyable, we now imagine Google is making only one pill, that “Professional” mannequin. Though, it doubtless received’t be known as that.

Continued reporting by Kuba Wojciechowski on Twitter has shed the brand new gentle on Google’s upcoming Pixel Pill and why there was that preliminary confusion round a “professional” mannequin. They beforehand advised us that Google was engaged on two variations of the Pixel Pill below codenames “tangor” and “tangorpro.” Because it seems, that unique “tangor” machine was a Pixel Pill with the first-gen Tensor chip and has since reportedly been cancelled. The “tangorpro” is a tool with Tensor G2 that has changed it. In different phrases, we’re right down to a single Pixel Pill mannequin being developed and it’s “tangorpro” with the Tensor G2 chip found inside the Pixel 7 line.

With that in thoughts, there are further new particulars to share with you.

This new report means that the examined “tangorpro” machine, which ought to have the identical design and general {hardware} as that older “tangor” mannequin and has 8GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB storage. It has a display screen decision of 2560×1600 and a side-mounted fingerprint reader. Lastly, Google could promote two completely different docks for the Pixel Pill, one with a speaker and one other that solely prices it. All of us going speaker mannequin, proper?

Alright, need to see the machine that’s being examined for the time being? Under, now we have a contemporary set of images that present the back and front of the Pixel Pill, the “About pill” display screen with codename, and with it hooked up to the speaker dock.

I can’t say that something in regards to the Pixel Pill appears like something out of the odd, exterior of the truth that it’s a pill that docks, turning itself right into a considerably moveable sensible dwelling hub. That’s not even an unique thought (Lenovo already did this), we’re simply merely excited that Google is doing it and it’ll act like a Google Nest Hub slightly than an Amazon Alexa machine. With Tensor G2 powering it, it must also run effectively and benefit from all of Google’s latest pill enhancements to Android.

For essentially the most half, we’re actually simply trying ahead to Google coming again to tablets. These previous Nexus tablets had been the most effective.
