Google previously announced that it will launch the Pixel tablet in 2023, and the tablet will be equipped with the Google Tensor chip like the phone. Recently, Google's Android code revealed more information about the tablet.
Google’s hardware team seems to have fully embraced the idea and designed the device around that concept. According to AOSP code, it will not contain any GPS hardware or a modem, making it only really usable at home, connected to WiFi. pic.twitter.com/LAmNEGA58T

Twitter user @Kuba Wojciechowski discovered that the AOSP (Android Open Source Project) code shows that the Google Pixel tablet will not have any GPS hardware and modems, which means the tablet will not support cellular data networks, only WiFi connections.
At the same time, the Google Pixel tablet does not yet have a proximity sensor (proximity sensor) and barometer sensors (barometer sensors), which means that the tablet's applicable scenarios are limited to the home, not in the middle of the journey. The code also indicates that the Google Pixel tablet will use a development board called "Citron," which means the tablet will be powered by the first-generation Tensor chip.
In July this year, the Twitter user also found through Google code that the Google Pixel tablet will be equipped with two 8-megapixel Sony IMX355 sensors in front and back, and will not support 4K recording, slow motion, and other functions
According to 9to5Google's report in June, the Google Pixel tablet will be equipped with several metal contacts on the back, and users can place the tablet on a special base called "Google Dock" to better use the tablet at home. The information revealed by this code further confirms that the main usage scenario of the tablet is limited to the home.
Google's previous preview image showed that the Pixel tablet has a white border on the front, with a rear single-camera design, and comes in two colors of gray and green. The Pixel tablet, meanwhile, will be Google's first tablet since the Chrome OS-powered Pixel Slate launched in 2018
