Mystic Leaks claims that the Pixel 11a model, which Google will position in the middle segment, will be in the flagship class. Tensor G6 He claimed that he would include the processor. According to the leak, Google will accompany the processor with the MediaTek M90 modem, 8 GB RAM and a 16 cm screen that reaches 3,350 nits peak brightness. This choice shows that the company, which uses the Tensor G4 processor from the previous generation in the Pixel 10a, will change its strategy in the A series again.
Google moved to Tensor G5 on the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro models, while retaining Tensor G4 on the Pixel 10a. The company’s official spec sheet also confirms that Pixel 10a carries Tensor G4 and Titan M2 security processor. Previous Pixel A models mostly shared the updated Tensor processor with higher-end Pixel phones from the same year, so the Pixel 10a breaks away from that habit. If the information about Pixel 11a is correct, Google will close the processor gap between the affordable model and the main Pixel series again.
The leak states that the Tensor G6 will use the PowerVR C-Series CXTP-48-1536 graphics unit. Some sources consider this unit in the same family as the PowerVR DXT-48-1536 in the Tensor G5, but there is no official word yet on the exact architectural details. However, the new graphics unit will offer a more up-to-date basis than the Tensor G4’s Mali-G715 GPU. It is also among the shared technical information that Google will switch to the Titan M3 security coprocessor along with the processor.
The most important change of Pixel 11a is MediaTek M90 modem can create. Google has preferred Samsung Exynos-based modems since the first Tensor generation, and users have complained about issues such as high mobile network consumption and unstable connection on various models. Switching to MediaTek M90 can reduce energy consumption and improve signal stability, especially during 5G connection. However, only battery and connection tests on the final device will show the real impact of the modem change.
Brighter screen will accompany smaller battery
On Google’s Pixel 11a minimum 4,870 mAh It is claimed that it will use a high-capacity battery. It is necessary to compare the numbers correctly here, because Google declares a minimum capacity of 5,000 mAh and a typical capacity of 5,100 mAh for the Pixel 10a. Therefore, the leak points to a small drop of 130 mAh over the minimum capacity. If the energy efficiency of the Tensor G6 and the new modem increases, the phone can compensate for this loss of capacity in daily use, but at this stage we cannot say for sure the same or longer battery life.
On the screen side, we see that Google will maintain the basic structure. Pixel 11a’s 16 cm pOLED panel 1080 x 2424 pixel resolution and will offer a variable refresh rate between 60 and 120 Hz. Peak brightness is up from 3,000 nits on the Pixel 10a 3,350 nitsHDR brightness will increase from 2,000 nits to 2,250 nits. This rise can help you read the screen more comfortably, especially in the sun.
Google has yet to confirm the Pixel 11a or these specifications. Mystic Leaks also claims that the phone is codenamed Formosan and will offer Obsidian, Olive, Frost and Fog color options. Long story short, the Tensor G6 and MediaTek M90 duo can make the Pixel 11a not only faster but also a more balanced phone in terms of mobile connectivity and battery efficiency. For this, we need to see Google’s official launch and independent test results.
