Some details of the Pixel 10 have been leaked to bring it closer to next summer, when its launch is planned, since last year Google brought forward the presentation date of the Pixel 9. An internal source at Google shared some documents that confirm the Pixel 11 codenames which will be released next year.
A leak that ignores the next Google devices this year, since the first that would be presented is the Pixel 9a to replace last year's Pixel 8a launched in Europe, then the Pixel 10 series for its launch next summer as the station of choice for the tech giant.
The inside source has given some documents to Android Authority and thus knows the code names which are usually unique animal species. For example, for the Pixel 11, the denominator theme will be bear, and this is not at all new for Google use certain names according to a theme; For older versions of Android, it still used dessert names like KitKat (Android 4.4), Lollipop (Android 5.0), or Marshmallow (Android 6.0).
Each of the mobile phones that make up the Pixel 11 series, and which is surprising because there are still four models for the folding mobile follow another of the protagonistshave as their sole name one of the most dangerous subspecies and animals on the planet, the grizzly bear:
- Pixel 11: “small” or “4CS4”.
- Pixel 11 Pro: “grizzly” or “CGY4”.
- Pixel 11 Pro XL: “Kodiak” or “PKK4”.
- Pixel 11 Pro Fold: “yogi” or “9y14”.

The references are more than clear and “cubs” refers to cubs, while “grizzly” refers to one of the subspecies living in North America and “kodiak” refers to the Alaskan brown bear. The last one is “yogi”, inspired by mythical cartoon character which has entertained so many generations for so many decades.
Android Authorty has given more details and this is the chip that each of the Pixel 11 series models will use: the Tensor G6 with the code name “malibu”. All four will launch in the second half of 2026, so there's plenty of room to continue the same 2024 strategy or make some changes.
The Pixel 10a would be another of the protagonists 2026 and its code name is also known: “standard” or “STA5”. This mobile is in a very early phase of development and according to what Android Authority supports in the words of Google, it plans to bring a fully customized Tensor G5 to the mid-range mobile or to stay with the chip designed by Samsung, the Tensor G4. .
The reason for the passage Tensor G5 This would be due to its larger size, since it measures much larger than Apple's A18 Pro, which would increase its production cost and eventual price; leaked just in fall 2024. Ideally, a custom Tensor G6 chip would be ideal, although that would be quite complicated when the Pixel 10a launched before the Pixel 11.
There is still a lot left for these devices and the next one would be the Pixel 9a for the month of March, which will manage to break some of the models that Google has accustomed the user to, and will be a different mobile phone in specifications compared to its brothers seniors; The previous Pixel 8a and 7a didn't represent a big change in the experience based on their specs.
