Leaks Say Pixel 11a Will Use Tensor G6 and MediaTek M90 Modem

If the reports are accurate, the midrange Pixel would move to flagship silicon with a new MediaTek modem, a shift that could improve battery efficiency and cellular performance.

Overview

  • Multiple tech outlets cited a Mystic Leaks spec sheet that claims the Pixel 11a will run a lower‑binned version of Google’s next Tensor G6 processor.
  • The same leaks report a switch from Samsung Exynos modems to MediaTek’s M90 modem, a change tied to better signal stability and reduced battery drain in prior Tensor phones.
  • The leaked sheet describes a 6.3‑inch variable 60–120Hz AMOLED with very high HDR and peak brightness figures and a reported minimum battery capacity of 4,870 mAh.
  • Internal details in the leaks include 8GB of base RAM, the Titan M3 security chip, a redesigned front camera codenamed “dokkaebi,” and regional color and SKU plans.
  • The documents first appeared in reports published on Saturday, July 18, and remain unverified pending Google’s August 12 Pixel event and the Pixel 11a’s expected Spring 2027 release.
