Google Gemini now supports the Pixel Tablet — kind of
The Play Store still won't let you install it, so this one's for sideloaders only.

- Sideloading Gemini on a Pixel Tablet now displays tablet-specific onboarding messages.
- The Google Assistant is still used when you’re docked in Hub Mode.
For Google right now, this is the summer of Gemini — it was basically all the company could talk about back at I/O in May. Every major tech firm is betting big on AI right now, and that’s no different for Google, with the service touching pretty much everything it’s been doing lately. Right now, you can get Gemini on your Android phone, but we’re already looking to where it’s headed next. Maybe that’s going to be earbuds, but a recent report raises the possibility of official Pixel Tablet support being right around the corner.
Google’s been getting Gemini’s ready for tablets for a little while now, and even a few months back, the team at 9to5Google was able to manipulate it into running on a Pixel Tablet. Today, the site shares that Gemini should be operational for anyone sideloading onto the device, and the app finally displays tablet-specific onboarding instructions.
