On May 11, 2022, Google will formally unveil the Pixel Tablet at its annual developer conference. However, information on the impending tablet is still scarce. We know that it will be released in 2023 and will include a Tensor chip. Some fresh information about the tablet has emerged online today. The Pixel tablet might launch with a 64-bit-only version of Android 13.
Google is developing 64-bit-only variants of Android 13 for a device called “Tangor,” which is claimed to be the codename for the Pixel tablet, according to a recent tweet from Mishaal Rahman. The lack of 32-bit compatibility will undoubtedly lower RAM utilization, but it will also prevent the tablet from running 32-bit software. However, because Google’s 2019 rule requires most apps in the Play Store to support 64-bit, this shouldn’t be a significant concern.
Apple had previously switched to a 64-bit-only architecture for iOS in 2017. The Pixel Tablet will be among the first Android devices to debut with a 64-bit-only version of Android 13.
As previously stated, the Google Pixel tablet is set to launch in 2023. Given that the debut is still over a year away, we may anticipate it to be powered by the Tensor 2 or 3 chipset. It will most likely come pre-installed with the most recent version of Android. It may also receive stylus support. Furthermore, the Pixel Tablet is said to lack capabilities for 4K video recording. Many of the picture and video functions present in the Pixel 6 series would also be inaccessible.
