The two docks are referred to in the code as “Yuzu” and “Korlan.” We were also able to separately confirm these codenames as related, via a code comment from a Googler. However, digging into the code for this special “dogfood” build of Google Home, we find that Google appears to be working on two distinct dock accessories, both associated with the same “Tangor” codename of the Pixel tablet. Up to this point, we’ve been working under the assumption that there was only going to be one dock accessory for the tablet. Our APK Insight team is still actively digging into the many, many changes included in this update - which for some even includes the full Google Home redesign - but one detail that caught our attention is a significant amount of preparation for the Pixel tablet. This week, in preparation for the Google Home app’s major redesign, a pre-release version of the app was (perhaps mistakenly) rolled out to select people via the Play Store and subsequently surfaced on APKMirror. To offer the full Google Assistant smart display experience, including Chromecast capabilities, the Pixel tablet and dock will be integrated with the Google Home app. To make this possible, we heard earlier this year that the Pixel tablet will offer a charging dock that holds it at a useful angle and includes a speaker. Long before Google confirmed that a Pixel tablet was set to be released in 2023, we’ve been tracking rumors and code evidence of the tablet doubling as a Google Assistant smart display like the Nest Hub. We’ll try to enable those that are closer to being finished, however, to show you how they’ll look in the case that they do ship. Keep in mind that Google may or may not ever ship these features, and our interpretation of what they are may be imperfect. When we decompile these files (called APKs, in the case of Android apps), we’re able to see various lines of code within that hint at possible future features. Ahead of the Pixel event, a pre-release Google Home update includes early signs of two distinct docks for next year’s Pixel tablet.Ībout APK Insight: In this “APK Insight” post, we’ve decompiled the latest version of an application that Google uploaded to the Play Store.
