Google Reportedly Plans to Cancel Second-Generation Pixel Tablet After Poor Sales
Google has decided not to develop a second-generation Pixel Tablet following disappointing sales of the first model. The company will shift its focus to larger-screen products like Nest Hub and Hub Max instead.
The decision is likely because the first Pixel Tablet didn't sell well, so Google has decided not to invest in making another one.
Recent reports say that Google has decided not to make a second version of the Pixel Tablet, after releasing the first one last year.
Even though many thought there would be a follow-up, it looks like Google has changed its plans.
This is Google's second time leaving the tablet market in just over five years, and the Pixel Tablet might be the only one.

Just last week, there were rumors about new features and a keyboard accessory for the tablet, but now they won't be released.
Instead of tablets, Google's Nest division may focus on larger-screen products like the Nest Hub and Hub Max.
Despite early successes like the Nexus 7, Google has struggled to compete with Apple's iPad in the tablet market.
Along with hardware limitations, Android's lack of tablet-optimized third-party apps has been a major obstacle.
After the poor reception of the Pixel Slate in 2019, Google announced its exit from the tablet market and scrapped two devices still under development.
