Google’s Pixel Pill launched with a bundled charging and speaker dock, however no keyboard or stylus – not at the same time as further purchases. That is a bit odd in as we speak’s world the place tablets routinely function these as choices. New proof as we speak factors within the course of Google truly working in direction of releasing a first-party keyboard and stylus for its pill, nonetheless.
This was found by a developer in a URL that results in the newest model of the Pixel Retail Demo app, which is used to lock down show units in retail shops and showcase numerous options of the machine it is operating on. The URL was noticed within the “PixelSetupWizardOverlay” APK, which factors Google’s Setup Wizard app to the situation of the newest model of the Retail Demo app throughout demo machine provisioning.
The most recent model of the Retail Demo app, launched on Could 21, homes strings that immediately identify a “Keyboard for Pixel Pill” in addition to a “Pen for Pixel Pill”. There aren’t any pictures of both accent within the app, and in the meanwhile we have now no further particulars like pricing or a launch timeframe, however it’s fairly clear that Google is (or no less than was, as just lately as final month) working in direction of a launch of those equipment within the close to future.
The truth that these strings could be discovered inside Google’s app meant to showcase options in retail shops strongly signifies that the corporate desires to showcase the upcoming keyboard and stylus in these shops once they arrive.
Add to this the truth that the Pixel Pill’s official specs record assist for USI 2.0 stylus pens, and the enhancements in stylus and keyboard assist added to Android 14, and the image turns into even clearer.
In fact, there’s an opportunity that neither of those equipment will see the sunshine of day – in spite of everything, in the event that they’re actual, why not announce them in Could alongside the pill? So do take all of this with a grain of salt, and we’ll let you already know once we discover out extra.
