Unveiled in 2023, the Pixel Tablet represented Google’s return to the large-screen device market. The experience, however, It seems to have lasted less than expected. After the cancellation of the successor at the end of 2024 and the subsequent suspension of the company’s projects in the tablet sector, the original model also seems to be approaching the end of its journey.
The Pixel Tablet had already been sold out on the Google Store for some timebut until a few days ago the page dedicated to the product was still available. Now, however, by visiting it you are redirected to the store’s homepage. Also the section “Tablets” has disappeared from the Google Store menus, effectively making the entire category disappear from the site. The change affects not only the United States, but also the Google stores in Canada and the United Kingdom.
There Wayback Machine shows that the last archived version of the page was at the beginning of September. Before its removal, the page also allowed users to register to receive information about thepossible return of the Pixel Tablet to the Google Store. The new situation comes shortly after the news that all smart display devices are also sold out on the official Google store.
Is Google taking a step back on the Pixel Tablet?
The disappearance of the page therefore does not seem to be attributable only to the temporary unavailability of the product. In fact, Google continues to sell some accessories for the tablet on the store, including the Charging Speaker Dock, cases, supports and screen protectors. These are products that can still be useful to owners of the device. For those who want to buy a new Pixel Tablet directly from Google today, the possibilities now seem to be limited.
Users who already own the Pixel Tablet however they will not be abandoned. Google has guaranteed operating system and security updates until June 2028. Those interested in purchasing the device may instead have to resort to stocks still available from third-party retailers, given that the product does not seem destined to return to the Google Store in the near future.
Even on the front of a possible successor there are no concrete indications. When Google canceled the Pixel Tablet 2, the company confirmed that development had been paused to reevaluate the role such a device should have within its lineup. A return of Google tablets in the future cannot therefore be ruled outbut at the moment there are no signs of a new model on the way.
