Leaked specifications suggest that the Google Pixel 11a will use the Tensor G6 processor, a MediaTek M90 modem and a display with a peak brightness of 3,350 nits. The Pixel a series has historically paired the latest flagship‑class processor with cost‑saving measures in other components. The Tensor G6 is reported to retain the PowerVR DXT-48-1536 GPU found in the G5 while improving upon the Mali‑G715 used in the G4. It replaces Samsung’s Exynos modem with a MediaTek M90 modem, a change the leak says should reduce battery drain and improve signal reliability. The device is expected to ship with a 4,870 mAh battery, slightly less than the 5,000 mAh battery in the Pixel 10a, but efficiency gains from the new processor may maintain or slightly improve battery life. The display will remain a 6.3‑inch 1080 × 2424 panel with a variable 60 to 120 Hz refresh rate, and brightness is expected to rise from 3,000 to 3,350 nits. Google has not confirmed these specifications, and the accuracy of the leak remains untested.
