Google recently introduced its Pixel 10 series, including the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. But along with the excitement, there’s also some disappointment — because Google has confirmed that a Pixel Flip phone, a second-generation Pixel Tablet, and even a smart ring are not part of its plans right now.
No Pixel Flip Phone
Fans who were hoping for a Pixel Flip, like Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip, won’t see one anytime soon. Google’s Vice President of Devices and Services, Shakil Barkat, said that foldable phones are already “pretty painful” to make and support. In simple terms, it’s not easy or worth it to add another flip model on top of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
Pixel Tablet 2 on Hold
The Pixel Tablet launched in 2023, but don’t expect a sequel just yet. Google has put the Pixel Tablet 2 on pause until it can figure out what role tablets should play in its product family. Unless Google finds a new, meaningful way to make tablets more useful, the series is likely to stay quiet.
No Smart Ring Either
Smart rings are becoming popular, with companies like Samsung and Oura leading the way. But Google is not joining this trend. Barkat made it clear that a Google smart ring is off the table for now.
What Google Is Focusing On
Instead of spreading itself thin, Google says it wants to focus on smartphones and AI. That means we’ll continue to see improvements in Pixel phones and AI-powered features, which are becoming a big part of Google’s strategy.
Bottom Line
If you were waiting for a Pixel Flip phone, a Pixel Tablet 2, or a Google smart ring, you’ll need to keep waiting — or look at other brands. For now, Google’s energy is going into making the Pixel 10 series stronger and pushing forward with AI.
