A report at AndroidPolice says that a huge number of users are seeing their life systems shudder into read-only mode, which they say is likely a flash memory failure. If the rumors end up being true, then it may mean that Google can’t simply push a software update to remedy the problem, which renders the device less than useful.
Posts on the company’s support forum show that there will be a period of minor errors, like icons fading to gray and crashing apps. These will then degenerate into more severe problems, where any action that writes to disk fails, preventing you from launching apps to downloading files.
Google’s Pixel Slate launched with plenty of fanfare but sadly it wasn’t particularly welcomed by the public. The Chrome OS-running tablet was priced as an ultra-premium iPad Pro / Surface Pro rival that could replace your daily driver computer. True, there was a $599 base model, but the figure rose closer to a grand when you went for better specs and the all-important keyboard folio.
Unfortunately, while the device looked good, the software was terrible. Many of these rough edges were smoothed out with updates, but there was a reason the company began selling the high-end tablet, and keyboard folio ($199) as a $549 bundle last year shortly before being withdrawn.
In 2019, a Google spokesperson did say that the team was aware of the problem on the support forums, but it’s not clear if a fix was ever found.
