Someone tries to sell a Pixel Tablet prototype, posts pictures

The Google Pixel Tablet is arriving at some point in 2023. While nobody knows quite when the release date is, someone was apparently already selling a prototype on Facebook Marketplace. (Why does this keep happening to Pixel prototypes?) The listing, spotted by Twitter user ShrimpApplePro, represents the first non-marketing pictures of Google's upcoming tablet, along with the base accessory that turns it into a smart display.

We can see this is a 256GB version of the tablet, and it's a rare look at the device in black, with a mismatched white speaker dock. Naturally it's running Android 13 with all the fun new tablet additions.

The Pixel Tablet was officially announced alongside the Pixel 7 in October, but we still don't have a price or release date. The hardware is designed to look identical to a Nest Hub, Google's line of smart displays, and Android 13 can launch a "hub mode" when docked, which seems purpose-built for a product like this. If the Pixel Tablet kicks over into a 10-foot "docked" interface, though—perhaps something that looks like the Nest Hub software—we haven't seen it. Every shot of the device shows it running the normal Android tablet interface.
