Google rumored to launch a Pixel Tablet to compete with iPad

[Chris Smith]

Google stopped trying to compete with Apple's iPad years ago. It's not that it hasn't made new Pixel-branded tablets, but that it hasn't optimized Android for bigger screens as Apple did with iOS. Apple forked iOS into iPadOS, as the tablet experience is a lot different than that of the iPhone. The iPad mini 6 is the best proof of that from Apple that we have seen to date. It's not just a compact device; it also rocks the same powerful specs as the iPhone 13 Pro.

Google will soon have to catch up quickly, even if it doesn't plan to make a new Pixel Tablet. That's because foldable smartphones are becoming increasingly popular — Google is actually supposedly making one now. And some of these foldable Androids are closer to tablets than smartphones. But a recent discovery indicates that Google's Android tablet ambitions seem to be renewed, and a beautiful Pixel Tablet design might be waiting in the wings.
