New stylus and dock features for the Pixel Tablet get revealed by the latest Android beta
Thanks to a report from 9to5 Google on the latest quarterly update for the Android 13 beta, some new details regarding these features have surfaced. Like for starters, the Pixel Tablet is looking to be the first tablet with support for the Universal Stylus Initiative.
The Google Tablet runs on the Tensor G2 that powers the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro phones too.
The beta update also points to a feature called Note Taking. Allegedly, it will allow users to access a pop-up bubble on the Pixel Tablet’s screen where users can quickly scribble down any ideas they might have. This will likely be enabled through Google’s notation app Keep, although such a feature is not live there yet.
The Speaker Dock is both a smart speaker and a wireless charger for the tablet.
This will likely be similar to Adaptive Charging on Pixel phones like the Pixel 7 Pro. Adaptive Charge learns your usage patterns, and adapts the charging process to them. If you charge your phone overnight, its battery will be charged only up to a certain point, and the rest will be recharged right before you wake up.
Since you are more likely to keep your Pixel Tablet charging — intentionally or not — through its Speaker Dock for the added functionality, the feature won’t work the same way. On the Tablet, charging will be capped out at 90%, ensuring that your battery remains healthy for longer.
While we still don’t have a definitive launch date for the Pixel Tablet, we do know that this will happen in 2023. It is certainly great to see that Google is planning ahead and ensuring that when the time comes, the tablet will have a feature-rich launch.
