The Pixel Tablet Was Finally Unveiled On…Facebook Marketplace?

At the May 2018 Google I/O conference, the company showed us our first look at the Pixel Tablet. Since then, we have gained a significant amount of knowledge on the future Android tablet as well as its docking station. Google provided us with further information regarding both of these topics with the debut of the Pixel 7 series in October. The tablet has already made a debut on Facebook Marketplace, despite the fact that the business has not yet disclosed a release date for the product.

On Facebook Marketplace, the unannounced Pixel Tablet can be purchased for the low price of $400, and it comes along with the official charger as well as a docking station. Despite the fact that the advertisement does not include any information on the tablet or how the vendor was able to get it, it does offer a number of photographs that demonstrate the docking station in addition to the tablet.

The tablet and dock that are seen in the photographs seem to be nearly identical to the ones that Google displayed in official drawings, which leads us to assume that the listing may be genuine. The tablet has large bezels all the way around the display, with a front-facing camera built in the top bezel. It also has a USB Type-C connection on the left side, which is surrounded by speaker grilles, and it has two microphones on the top edge.
On the opposite end, the dock is branded with Google’s capital letter ‘G,’ has a charging port on the rear, and has pogo pins on the front of its face so that it can connect to the tablet. Similar to the finish on Google’s Nest smart speaker series, this one is made of woven cloth.

The ad does not disclose any of the hardware characteristics that are associated with the Pixel Tablet, as was noted before. However, prior rumors suggest that it would include Google’s in-house Tensor SoC, a display of 10.95 inches, storage capacities of up to 256 gigabytes, and two 8-megapixel Sony IMX355 cameras. The tablet is on Google’s launch schedule for the first few months of 2014, and we anticipate the firm will provide further information in the weeks running up to the launch.
