A new leak has revealed the possible specifications of Google’s upcoming Pixel 11a. Although Google has not confirmed any details, the early information suggests the next affordable Pixel could bring bigger upgrades than its predecessor. The biggest highlight is the rumored Tensor G6 chipset, which would be a major step forward compared to the Pixel 10a.
According to the leak, the Pixel 11a may use the latest Tensor G6 processor instead of an older chip. Previous reports suggest the Tensor G6 could become Google’s first 2nm chipset. However, the Pixel 11a may use a slightly lower-binned version of the processor. Even so, it is still expected to include the new MediaTek M90 modem and the Titan M3 security chip found in the Pixel 11 series.
The leak also claims the Pixel 11a carries the internal codename “Formosan.” It could feature a 6.30-inch display with a 1080p resolution. In addition, the screen may reach 2,250 nits of maximum brightness and up to 3,350 nits at peak brightness. The display is also expected to support HDR.
Google may keep the base model with 8GB of RAM. Meanwhile, the phone reportedly has a minimum rated battery capacity of 4,870mAh. This does not necessarily reflect the advertised battery size. The typical capacity could remain at 5,100mAh, like the Pixel 10a, or it could slightly drop to 5,000mAh.
Another leak also points to a new front camera for the Pixel 11a. However, no camera details are available yet. The only information shared so far is its reported codename, “dokkaebi.”
Finally, the leak suggests the Pixel 11a will launch in four colors, including black, green, purple, and silver. The device is expected to arrive around March 2027, although Google has not officially announced its launch timeline.
