Google might already be working on the Pixel 11a model despite the Pixel 9a and Pixel 10a still being a while away from release. The codename for this upcoming budget Pixel phone has just been revealed. So here’s everything you need to know.
Google Pixel 11a codename hints at its active development
According to an AndroidHeadlines report, the Pixel 11a will also stick with the bear themed codenames as its predecessors. The device was reportedly spotted with the Formosan codename. To recall, the Pixel 11 might be internally referred to as Cubs, Pixel 11 Pro is Grizzly, and Pixel 11 Pro XL is Kodiak. The Pixel 11a would likely launch after the Pixel 11 series, so we can expect it to debut in 2027.
For those unaware, the Formosan here should refer to the Formosan Black Bear, which is a bear native to Taiwan. In one of our earlier reports, it was rumored that the Pixel 11a and Pixel Tablet 3 will not feature the same Tensor chipset as the flagship models, which has been the norm so far. Meaning, it would get an inferior Tensor SoC along with downgraded AI performance.
Unfortunately, the Pixel 11a is still quite far away from launch so finer details like its specs, design, and other aspects are still at large. So it is odd that details regarding the Pixel 11a has surfaced ahead of the unreleased Pixel 9a and even the Pixel 10a. This is all the information we have at the moment, so stick around for more.
