In the presentation of the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, which we have already been able to analyze, Google also talked about its new tablet, the first under the Pixel brand, Pixel Tablet. Unlike mobile phones, this device would not go on sale anytime soon. In fact, the company has announced that it will be in 2023 when it can be purchased, although we still don’t know if it will arrive in Europe and other markets, now that we know that the Pixel Watch will not, At least for the moment. .
Google Play Store cambia and tablets
This could explain the new App Store redesign that is coming, as announced by the company on its Android dev blog and which coincides with what has already been leaked.
As you can see from the image posted by Google itself, the primary viewing format for tablets is now horizontal, which makes a lot of sense because most of the time that’s how we view these devices.
Additionally, Google invites developers to update their apps to take advantage of the new ways of designing apps that it has prepared for tablets.
Whether it works remains to be seen, as many developers have already tried something like this by the time Android tablets were launched and it’s not that they got much out of it.
It’s true that we’re currently experiencing something of a tablet resurgence, and Google is going to bet on it with its own device, but it’s not certain that we’re going to see as big of an impact as Apple experienced with the iPad. .
