Google has been working on a Pixel-branded Android tablet which will be released next year. It will run on Android for sure but other details are still not clear. There were talks about smart phone focus but whether it was going to be predominant was doubtful.
Now Google joined Universal Stylus Initiative 4 years ago which has come out with two specifications on how active styluses should be designed and are to behave. Version 2.0 was released on the last day of February with the headline enhancement being the use of NFC to charge a stylus wirelessly. Pixel products serve dual purposes as the consumer-facing hardware brand of Google and as a developer workhorse for all the things Android. For the app developers, specifications are all the rage son this may give eager beavers an early advantage.
