Google has been working on several features to make its Pixel Tablet more of a work machine for a while. There’s the work on desktop mode without an external display and a rumored keyboard accessory, which hasn’t materialized yet, but I’m hearing it might be for the next iteration of the tablet. The 2027 Pixel Tablet (which we assume will be the third entry to the series) will, unsurprisingly, take another step in that direction.

Thanks to a leak from Google’s gChips division, Android Authority has learned Google is planning to add a second USB-C port to its Tensor G6 chip, specifically for tablet use cases.

Before we get any further, it’s worth mentioning that the Pixel Tablet technically already has two exposed USB ports — one being the regular USB-C port you’d expect, and the other is the USB 2.0 connection hidden in the pogo pins used to connect the dock. This second connection isn’t the one this article is about — the Pixel Tablet 3 (or whatever it will be called) will still have this connection in the form of pogo pins, which also means Google is committing to the dock concept.
