There’s a Google Pixel Tablet in the works powered by Google’s Tensor G2 chip, and it’s due sometime in 2023.
Google first teased the Pixel Tablet during its Google I/O 2022 press event and gave us a more detailed look during its October 6 event. Google is pitching the new tablet as a complement to the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro smartphones and the new Pixel Watch that were launched at the October event. Rumors suggest there could still be a second “Pro” tablet in the works as well.
Here’s what we know so far about Google’s planned Pixel tablet, which will hopefully prove good enough to claim a spot on our list of the best tablets on the market.

Google Pixel tablet: Price and release date speculation
Thus far we don’t know much about the Pixel tablet, but we do know the release date will be sometime in 2023. Pricing still remains a total unknown.
We could see it debut any time that year, but realistically it’s unlikely that Google would bring this new tablet to market early in 2023. It seems far more likely that the Pixel tablet would debut in the spring or fall when Google has traditionally released hardware.
Fall seems especially likely when you consider that Google’s last tablet, the Pixel Slate, was launched in October of 2018. And before that, Google released the Pixel C tablet in December 2015. So if past behavior is any indicator, expect to see the next Google Pixel tablet debut in the latter half of 2023.
However, given that Google heavily teased the device at its October 2022 event, there is a chance that it will release the tablet sooner rather than later. So while Fall is still the smart bet, don’t rule out an earlier launch.
