Pixel tablet, rings and glasses: Google is not working on that right now

Google is considering what purpose tablets still have and is discussing smart glasses. The company currently has no interest in smart rings or folding smartphones.

In search of the meaning and purpose of tablets

The redesign of the Pixel Tablet has been paused. Instead, the company is in the process of finding out what role tablets can play in the future. This is not yet a definitive cancellation, but there will only be another Pixel Tablet if it makes sense for Google. Until then, other manufacturers - especially Samsung as the leader in this field - are likely to benefit from the improvements to Android for large screens.

Google Glass has an impact

In another area, the matter is clearer: Osterloh flatly denied that Google is currently working on a smart ring.

As a primary school pupil, I used to sit in a friend's living room with many of my classmates to play the Super NES. Now I get my hands on the latest technology and test it for you. In recent years at Curved, Computer Bild and Netzwelt, now at Digitec and Galaxus.
