Withdrawing from the Android tablet market years ago, Google focused on Chrome OS devices. The company, which could not find success on the Chrome OS side with the Pixel Slate tablet, took a break from tablet production for a long time. However, Google excited the technology world by introducing the Pixel Tablet device at the I/O Developer Conference held in May. New details continue to come about the tablet to be released in 2023.

Pixel Tablet will only use 64-bit version of Android
According to information discovered by Esper editor Mishaal Rahman, Pixel Tablet will leave 32-bit support behind. According to the record seen in Google’s code review resource, Tangor will only have 64-bit support. Tangor is known as Google’s codename for the Pixel Tablet. With this move by Google, Pixel Tablet will use less memory but will not be able to run 32-bit applications.
Google stated that since 2019, all applications added to the Play Store must be 64-bit. Therefore, the number of applications that cannot run on the Pixel Tablet will be very few. Apple also switched the iOS operating system to 64 bits in 2017. In addition, ARM will start designing chips with only 64-bit support as of 2023. It seems that 32-bit support in the mobile world is pretty close to ending.
