No Charging Speaker Dock included in relaunched model
Possible new Pen and Bluetooth Keyboard accessories for the tablet
Relaunched tablet may be priced at $349 or $379
Rumors are circulating about a potential relaunch of the Google Pixel Tablet, which was first released in 2023. According to sources, the relaunched tablet will not include the Charging Speaker Dock that comes with the current model. Instead, it may be sold as a standalone device, potentially priced at $349 or $379. This would make it more affordable than the current version, which retails for $499 with the dock included.
In addition to the relaunch of the tablet itself, there are also rumors that Google will release a Pen and Bluetooth Keyboard accessory for the device. These accessories are said to cost around €100 each and will be available in Hazel (dark green) and Porcelain (white/beige) colors. It is unclear if the keyboard will charge over the tablet's 4-pin accessory connector or have a separate USB-C port.
Google has been working on a darker version of the Pixel Tablet, which features black bezels and a dark gray rear shell. It is possible that this version of the tablet will be released alongside the relaunched model. The new tablet may also be announced at Google's upcoming I/O conference on May 14, with availability in Europe starting on May 10.
It is important to note that these are just rumors at this point and should be taken with a grain of salt. However, if they prove to be true, the relaunched Pixel Tablet could be a more affordable option for those looking for an Android tablet with high-quality accessories.

Deception
(80%)
The article contains editorializing and speculation by the author. The author makes assumptions about Google's pricing strategy and product decisions, stating that '$349 or $379 would be a better price for the device.' This is an opinion and not a fact. The author also states 'It remains to be seen how much cheaper a standalone Pixel Tablet will be.' This is speculation as well. The author also mentions 'Google might be working on a new Nest Hub Max' which is not related to the deception in the article but rather an unrelated piece of information.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains a few informal fallacies and an example of inflammatory rhetoric. The author makes claims without proper sourcing in some instances, which is an informal fallacy known as 'appeal to authority'. Additionally, the author uses inflammatory language when referring to Google's decision-making process with phrases like 'Google is apparently planning to relaunch' and 'another thing to keep in mind is that Google has been working on a darker Pixel Tablet for some time.' This suggests a tone of suspicion rather than objective reporting. Lastly, the author speculates about potential pricing and product features without solid evidence, which can be considered an informal fallacy known as 'guessing at mysteries'.

Deception
(30%)
The article contains selective reporting as the author only mentions the potential price decrease of the Pixel Tablet without mentioning its underpowered performance and mediocre battery life compared to competitors. The author also expresses their personal opinion that Google's move is not appealing for them, which is editorializing.
From where I’m standing, I’m not sure where this is supposed to go.
The idea of Google selling the Pixel Tablet without its claim to fame is an interesting one.
Fallacies

The author commits an appeal to authority fallacy when quoting Andy Boxall's opinion that the Pixel Tablet is unremarkable as a standalone Android tablet. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric by stating 'unfortunately for Google' and 'it's still missing the boat'.
On the one hand, I get this strategy. Chances are Google has a lot of excess Pixel Tablets it needs to get rid of, and with this move, the company could repackage the tablet, promote it as something new, and sell it at a lower price. Win, win, win right?
Unfortunately for Google, the Pixel Tablet is remarkably unremarkable as a standalone Android tablet.
