Google Pixel Tablet 2 to have a keyboard case

Google's Pixel Tablet is getting a bit long in the tooth, having launched last June with no successor yet. But fret not for Google is actually working on the Pixel Tablet 2, and according to a new rumor, that one will come with a keyboard case. It's unclear whether this will be bundled with the tablet or offered as a separate purchase.

The upcoming tablet will have newer and better cameras too, compared to the ones fitted to the original Pixel Tablet.

The Pixel Tablet 2 will also be powered by a newer SoC compared to the Tensor G2 in the original, which is nothing surprising of course. Whether it gets the Tensor G4 that's inside the Pixel 9 family or the Tensor G5 coming next year probably depends on when exactly it will launch. It's alleged to still be many months away from release.

With the new chip, the tablet will get seven years of updates as well as support for display output. The general design of the new device won't change too much compared to its predecessor, but it might come with smaller bezels and the buttons may move around a bit.

I want one with an x86 CPU. Both the Lenovo and the HP uses ARM SoC, which is great for Android apps but not so well for desktop Linux.
