Google is actively working on a range of upcoming smartphones. This includes the Pixel 8a, the flagship Pixel 9 series, and the highly- anticipated Pixel Fold 2. 

We have already seen a glimpse of Pixel 8a’s design via the leaked retail packaging while renders of the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro have also surfaced showing a distinct design language for the company’s upcoming smartphone series. Now, a new element has been added to the mix.

Google Pixel GH2MB UL Demko certification

An upcoming Google smartphone, carrying the model number GH2MB, has been spotted on the UL Demko certification website. The certification confirms that the device will feature a 4,942mAh rated battery, likely to be marketed as approximately 5,000mAh.

The battery capacity of this mystery device hints that it may not be the traditionally budget-focused Pixel 8a. Its size aligns more closely with the battery expectations for the flagship Pixel 9 series, particularly the Pro variants. 

It’s also possible that this certification relates to the Pixel Fold 2, as a larger battery would be suitable for a foldable phone’s demanding form factor.

But the listing doesn’t specify what device exactly it is. Further certifications should shed more light on the GH2MB’s true identity and specifications in the near future. 

In related Pixel news, a new Tensor chipset, likely the Tensor G4, has been spotted on the Geekbench listing. The chip might power the upcoming Google Pixel 9 series and Pixel Fold 2.

However, the Geekbench listing shows that the SoC has an octa-core processor, while the Tensor G3 has nine cores. Also, its performance seems a bit worse than the previous model. This might be because it’s an engineering model, but the company reducing the number of cores is a bit confusing.
