- With the new Tensor upgrade, we can expect improved efficiency and power, but Google seems to consider downgrading the battery capacity compared to the Pixel 10a.
- Google is not planning to launch Pixel 11a soon. The phone is still under development with the codename Formosan.

Google has not said anything about the Pixel 11a yet, but tipsters have information on what Google is planning.
According to those tips, the Pixel 11a will get promising hardware upgrades, while the design will remain mostly the same as its predecessor, with the same matte plastic on the back and an aluminum frame surrounding the phone.
On the rear, we will get the same dual vertically housed cameras. Maybe it’s time for Google to consider a new design for their Pixel models!
The leaks indicate that the smartphone will pack a 6.30-inch 1080P display on the front with peak brightness of 3350 nits, HDR support, and a 120Hz refresh rate.
