We’ve been hearing rumors about the Nvidia tablet since back at CES in January, but we now actually have something to look at.

Engadget managed to its hands on the newest entrant into the tablet market, and the video below gives some idea of its potential. The specs are still being kept under wraps, but we know that it is a Tegra 2-powered device with an Android OS.

The tablet is 9.7-inches, amd Engadget suspects that it has 1GB of RAM, with an ARM Cortex 9 CPU and a front facing camera. No word yet on price or release date, but if a model is ready to display, both should be coming soon.

Google’s dead Pixel Tablet 2 could have been a solid upgrade

The fate of Google’s Pixel Tablet seems uncertain at this point, with multiple leaks suggesting that a successor was put on ice. It seems, however, that a Pixel Tablet 2 moved into advanced stages of development with some neat upgrades before it was unceremoniously axed.

The folks over at Android Authority, citing internal documents, report that the second-generation Pixel Tablet would’ve arrived armed with the Tensor G4 silicon, which also powers the Google Pixel 9 series smartphones. Google was also reportedly eyeing a cellular version with a Samsung Exynos 5G modem for the slate.

How I made my Android tablet better than a Windows laptop

Google’s Pixel lineup has been pretty solid lately -- at least, for most of its hardware, anyway. But there’s one Google Pixel device that seems to have flopped so hard that it may end up being a one-off thing, and that’s the Pixel Tablet.

If you’re hoping to hear some news about a proper Pixel Tablet 2, we have some bad news. According to a recent report from Android Headlines, it seems that Google has already canceled plans for a Pixel Tablet 3. But wait! Another report on Android Authority claims that it was actually the Pixel Tablet 2 that was canned, not the Pixel Tablet 3. Considering that you can’t have a third iteration before having a second, I think it’s safe to say that whatever the next version was going to be, we’re not going to see it — at least not for a while.
