"Ehh, let's just say that Google's HARDWARE team will focus solely on making laptops, but do not be fooled, the Android & Chrome OS team is 100 percent committed to working with our partners on tablets for a long time. for all market categories (consumers, businesses, education),He said.
"Ksome posts did not clarify the situation, so I wanted to do it myself,Osterloh added. "And of course we will support Pixel Slate for a long time to come."
Computerworld also says that Google will continue to develop Pixel phones. Some time ago, the company uploaded a photo of the upcoming flagship device, Pixel 4.
