Google launched the Pixel Tablet at last year’s Google I/O event in May. The slate arrived bundled with a dock, which gives it the ability to become a smart display in the docked mode. The company didn’t launch any additional accessories for the device at the launch. However, since last year, there have been rumors that Google will launch a keyboard and a stylus accessory for the tablet.
The Pixel Tablet is also rumored to relaunch later this year without a bundled docking station as well. Now, the dock-less Pixel Tablet has surfaced in some European listings, which has revealed its pricing details. In addition, the latest leak has suggested that Google will start selling a Stylus and Bluetooth keyboard accessory for the slate soon.
Pricing of the Pixel Tablet without a bundled docking station leaks
According to a report by Droid Life, Google is planning to relaunch the Pixel Tablet without a bundled docking station soon. The slate will be offered in 128GB and 256GB storage variants. These will be available in Hazel and Porcelain hues. The 128GB dock-less Pixel Tablet variant will allegedly cost around €446, while the 256GB model will set you back by around €553. These prices are not entirely accurate, of course. Also, it will be more affordable in the US.
Google currently sells the 128GB and 256GB variants for €679 and €779 respectively in the EU. The slate with the charging speaker dock is available in the US for $499. Since nothing is officially confirmed at the moment, we advise you to take the leak with a grain of salt.
Pixel slate accessories will include a Bluetooth keyboard and a Stylus/pen
Furthermore, the latest leak corroborates the previous reports that Google will start selling separate accessories for the Pixel Tablet. The company will release a Bluetooth keyboard for the slate in Hazel and Porcelain hues. It is listed on retailer websites for €89. However, we can safely assume it to be priced around €100 at the launch.
The brand will also release a Pixel Tablet Pen accessory in the same Hazel and Porcelain color variants. There’s no word on the pricing of the stylus from Europe at the moment. However, recent leaks have indicated that it would have the same price as the keyboard accessory.
Google is expected to relaunch the Pixel Tablet without a bundled dock at this year’s Google I/O in May, so stay tuned.
