  • An alleged Pixel Tablet prototype shows up on Facebook's marketplace.
  • The unreleased Google tablet is apparently being sold for $400.
  • The design implies a Nest Hub replica, including the speaker-docking station.

We haven't heard much about the device from the company. It will not be released to the public until next year. There is a new online listing that shows what could be the first real-life images of the alleged device.

A prototype of the upcoming device was spotted on the Facebook marketplace by a user named ShrimpApple Pro.

You can see more.

A speaker docking station similar to the Nest Hub (2nd Gen) is featured in the images. There's a glossy display on the front of the alleged device.

There are a few important details that we can comprehend from the images. It's possible that it's shipping withAndroid 13 out of the box. One of the storage options we can expect to see on the tablet is at least a couple of hundred thousand dollars. The System storage is likely to hold around 22 gigabytes.

A battery percentage of 70% that lasts for about 16 hours is one of the features cited. A $400 price tag for the device is proposed on the Facebook marketplace, but we're not sure if that's the same price that the device will cost.

The image is the first of three.

At this year's I/O, there was a new series of tablets called the Pixel. We've seen previews of the tablet before, but now we can see it in person.

It is expected to come with a more prominent 11-inch display with a basic looking design, besides the live images that just popped up on the web. The next-gen Tensor processor is likely to be placed in the middle of the range and cheaper than the 11-inch Tab S8.

It's not the first time that Google has its devices on sale ahead of their official launches. The most recent devices to be sold online were thePixel 7 Pro andPixel 6a.

The last tablet launched by the company was thePixel C. The category has been stagnant in recent years because of the lack of attention paid to it by the company. All of that is about to change with the release of tablets by only one company.

The first look at howAndroid can scale across large-screen devices like tablets and foldables can be found in the new version of the software. There will be more launches in this space in the years to come, with the likes of Realme, OPPO, andXiaomi introducing new products.

The introduction of its first tablet in seven years is going to re-enter this segment. During the hardware I/O keynote, Rick Osterloh showed off an early look at thePixel Tablet, which will be released in 2023.

The most intelligent tablets in the world are designed to be the perfect companion to your phone, according to Osterloh. The hardware is powered by a custom platform, but no details about it were shared.

The Pixel Tablet will be positioned in the premium segment.

We didn't get much in the way of a screen size, but Osterloh confirmed that the tablet will be positioned in the premium segment, meaning it will go up against the bestAndroid tablets, and that it is on the larger size.

It's interesting that the brand is willing to talk about the existence of the product despite the fact that the product won't be launched for another year.

Doing so will allow the company to reinforce its commitment to tablets. The goal is to give current Pixel owners a first-party alternative to the likes of the iPad and other tablets.

For the first six years of its hardware efforts, Google has been focused on phones, but with the introduction of the Pixel Watch, and the upcoming launch of thePixel Tablet next year, the company is finally building out a broader array of devices. We'll have a lot more to say about the device in the future.
