Google Abandons Pixel Tablet Line Amid Profitability Concerns

Google has reportedly canceled the development of its second-generation Pixel Tablet, suggesting a potential exit from the tablet market for the second time in over five years. This decision may be due to poor sales of the original Pixel Tablet, which was released last year. Google's on-again, off-again approach to tablets has hindered its ability to compete with Apple's iPad. There is speculation that Google's Nest division might focus on large-screen devices like the Nest Hub instead. The Verge has sought clarification from Google on its future tablet plans.
