The codenames for Google’s upcoming Pixel 11 series have leaked according to an exclusive Android Authority<\/em> <\/a>article, revealing a bear theme for the 2026 devices while the Pixel 10a may utilize the Tensor G4 SoC instead of the anticipated Tensor G5, potentially as a cost-saving measure.<\/p>\n

Google’s Pixel 11 series codenames leak: Bear theme revealed<\/h2>\n

According to documents viewed by Android Authority<\/em>, the codenames for the Pixel 11 lineup include \u201ccubs\u201d for the standard version (4CS4), \u201cgrizzly\u201d for the Pro model (CGY4), \u201ckodiak\u201d for the Pro XL (PKK4), and \u201cyogi\u201d for the Pro Fold (9YI4). The Pixel 10a is designated as \u201cstallion\u201d (STA5).<\/p>\n

This bear-themed naming convention follows Google’s previous animal-themed codenames, which have shifted from fish to birds, cats, dogs, reptiles, and horses with each new Pixel generation. Starting from the Pixel 6, Google has transitioned its codenaming strategy accordingly.<\/p>\n

Currently in early development stages, the Pixel 10a’s design is under consideration for its chip, with Google evaluating whether to use the custom Tensor G5 or the Samsung-designed Tensor G4, which debuted with the Pixel 9 series in 2024. Any decision regarding the chip could impact the price and feature set of the Pixel 10a.<\/p>\n

Price is speculated to be a significant factor influencing this decision. The Tensor G5 is a larger chip, measuring 121 mm\u00b2, and its increased production costs might lead Google to prefer the Tensor G4 for this midrange device. Industry expectations suggest that a cost-optimized Tensor G6 may be necessary before a fully custom Google system on-chip (SoC) appears in a mid-range model.<\/p>\n

If Google opts for the Tensor G4, the mid-range Pixel 10a may lack many new features associated with the Pixel 10 series, which are expected to leverage the enhanced capabilities of the Tensor G5 AI and camera hardware. As of now, these decisions have not been finalized, with the launch of the Pixel 9a anticipated in the coming months.<\/p>\n
