Many of you probably remember the time when one of the best Android tablets on the market was the Nexus 7, the brainchild of Google, manufactured by ASUS. Many years have passed since then (almost 10 to be exact) during which Google made only one attempt to re-enter the tablet market with the Pixel C and the odd Pixel Slate on ChromeOS in 2015. Devices did not gain much popularity and the company gave up trying to produce tablets for many years … until this moment.
