Google Axing Pixel Tablet After Three-Year Struggle
Google has seemingly given up on its Pixel Tablet, a device that was introduced in 2023. The slate is no longer available for purchase on Google's webstore, and the 'Tablet' category has been removed from the bar, indicating there won't be a replacement soon.
The three-year-old Pixel Tablet never achieved significant sales success, but its discontinuation still comes as a surprise. It's not entirely unexpected, given its poor performance, but Google's thorough approach to killing it off is notable.
Jetstream noticed that the device was marked 'out of stock' a few days ago and later scrubbed from Google's webstore. This move is seen as a sign that Google has once again abandoned tablets, following a history of failures in this area.
