Source: Google is working on the Pixel Tablet 2 along with a keyboard

[phillynews215]

• A source tells Android Authority that Google is working on the Pixel Tablet 2 and that this time the company might release a keyboard case.
• We were also told the Pixel Tablet 2 will have a new camera and upgraded Tensor chip.
• Google released the first Pixel Tablet last year with the Tensor G2 chip alongside a charging speaker dock, but no official keyboard or stylus accessories.

Many of the best Android tablets on the market are excellent media consumption devices, but only a few of them are also great for productivity. The Google Pixel Tablet, for example, is great at media consumption like many other tablets, but its use as a work tool is limited due to its lack of productivity-focused software features and input accessories. The former is something that Google has already been addressing via software updates, and the latter is something the company can correct by releasing its own first-party input accessories. It seems Google is looking to do just that with its second-generation Pixel Tablet.

It’s been almost a year and a half since Google announced the first-generation Pixel Tablet, but the only thing we’ve heard so far about the Pixel Tablet 2 is its potential code name. That’s because the tablet is still many months away from launching, so it makes sense that little information is available on it. Thanks to a source inside Google, though, we’ve learned some key details about the Pixel Tablet 2.
