Source: Google has canceled the Pixel Tablet 2, not the Tab 3

[phillynews215]

• Google has canceled development of the Pixel Tablet 2, a source tells Android Authority.
• Yesterday, a report claimed that Google is killing the Pixel Tablet 3, but our source and independent research suggests that the device named in the report is actually the Tab 2.
• It’s not clear whether Google still plans to release the Pixel Tablet 3, though, as it’s too early to tell.

Android Authority has learned that Google has canceled the Pixel Tablet 2, the presumed name of Google’s second-generation Pixel Tablet. This is disappointing for Pixel fans who were waiting for Google to refresh its first-generation Pixel Tablet with a newer chipset, a better camera, and, more importantly, an official keyboard accessory.

It’s also surprising to hear because it might suggest that Google is giving up on its tablet ambitions entirely, considering a separate report published yesterday claimed that Google is also killing the Pixel Tablet 3. However, we have reason to believe that the device cited in yesterday’s report is actually the Pixel Tablet 2, and not the third-generation tablet after all. Let me break down how we know.
