Google Pixel 11a renders reveal Tensor G6, MediaTek modem, and a possible price hike

Android Headline has published renders of the upcoming Google Pixel 11a, predicting a spring 2027 launch and a possible price increase from $499 to $599.

The device is expected to skip the Tensor G5 and use the same Tensor G6 chip as the Pixel 11 series. Google is also said to drop Samsung's modem in favor of a MediaTek solution to improve display signal quality and call stability.

The Pixel 11a is rumored to feature a 6.3-inch 1080p display with a 60-120Hz adaptive refresh rate, a 5,100mAh battery, and a 48MP main camera. The front camera may be upgraded to a 10.5MP sensor from the Pixel 11. It would ship with Android 17 and receive seven years of updates.

The phone is expected in black, silver, green, and purple color options, with dimensions around 153.46 x 72.35 x 9mm.
