The exact release date for the Pixel tablet is yet to be confirmed by Google, but it is likely that the tablet could be launched on Google’s May 10 event. It is likely to compete with other high-end tablets in the market, including the iPad and the Galaxy Tab.
Google unveiled the Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel Watch at the Made by Google Event 2022. However, the Pixel tablet did not make it to the launch.
