Pixel 11a leaked with Tensor G6 chip and MediaTek modem
Key points
- Leaked specs indicate the Pixel 11a will use the Tensor G6 chip, the same generation as the flagship Pixel 11 series.
- The device is reported to feature a MediaTek M90 modem instead of a Samsung modem.
- Other leaked specifications include 8 GB of RAM and a 6.3-inch 120 Hz display.
- The leak points to a smaller battery than the previous model, a new front camera sensor, and improved Face Unlock.
- Four color options and regional variants are mentioned in the report.
The leak represents a departure from Google’s recent approach with the Pixel 10a, which launched in March 2026 with the prior-generation Tensor G4 chip and drew criticism for using older silicon. If accurate, the Pixel 11a would ship with the current-generation Tensor G6, matching the flagship line.
The switch to a MediaTek modem is noted as unexpected. Coverage does not specify whether the leak originated from supply-chain sources or another channel, nor does it indicate a release timeframe.
