Someone’s Selling Google’s Pixel Tablet on Facebook Marketplace

Google’s Pixel pill isn’t supposed to return out till 2023, however we’re already seeing a supposed early unit up for grabs. This leak involves us from Twitter, although it’s only a assortment of screenshots from a Facebook Marketplace submit that claims to be promoting the announced-but-unreleased Google Pixel Tablet.

The itemizing’s headline doesn’t mince any phrases:

***NEW***PRE-RELEASE!!! 2023 GOOGLE PIXEL TABLET WITH SPEAKER DOCKING STATION

The screenshots present a reasonably nondescript tablet-looking gadget sporting a Pixel Launcher-esque interface. It’s operating Android, not the OS you see on Google’s sensible shows. There’s a magnetic speaker dock included within the lot, although when the pill’s by itself, it seems like somebody lobbed off the present Google Nest Hub’s display screen (however you could possibly say the identical about what we’ve seen in Google’s official bulletins). The energy brick seems just like the one which powers the Nest Audio.

A screenshot of the system info can be included within the Twitter thread. The better part is that it’s the wrong way up, so I needed to obtain it and rotate it to learn something. There are about 256GB of storage on the mannequin featured within the Marketplace itemizing. And when the settings panel is open, you may see the ChromeOS-like dock that populates with essentially the most not too long ago used apps on the backside. It’s a neat take a look at Google’s imaginative and prescient of Android 13 in pill mode, and I’m fairly positive that is the Hub Mode referred to in Android 13 QPR1.

The leak’s pictures are fairly blurry, so you may’t learn the textual content or make out the icons with out squinting. However, I did zoom in to the rotated picture and seen about 15 hours and 54 minutes of battery left on the purported Pixel Tablet, or about 70%. It’s already higher than some older generations of the iPad, in keeping with Gizmodo’s inside benchmark charts.

No one will know something for positive till the official launch. Technically, you could possibly purchase this gadget on Facebook Marketplace for those who’re prepared to danger $400 for the sake of discovering out early. Maybe simply maintain no matter you get for your self this vacation.
