The bigger change, though, could be the modem. The phone is tipped to use the MediaTek M90 modem, replacing the older Samsung Exynos-based modem used with previous Tensor chips. If that actually happens, users could see better network reception and improved battery efficiency during everyday use. Apart from that, the phone is expected to pack 8GB RAM along with Google’s Titan M3 security chip.

Google Pixel 11a display leaks

Looks like Google isn’t changing the screen size. The Pixel 11a is once again expected to feature a 6.3-inch OLED display with an adaptive 60Hz to 120Hz refresh rate.

What may change is the brightness. The leaked specifications point to 2,250 nits HDR brightness and 3,350 nits peak brightness, which would be a noticeable jump over the previous model. The leak also mentions a new selfie camera sensor, internally known as “Dokkaebi.” Google hasn’t shared anything about the rear cameras yet.

Google Pixel 11a battery leaks

The leaked battery capacity stands at 4,870mAh, which is slightly lower than the Pixel 10a on paper. But that may not necessarily mean worse battery life. A newer Tensor G6 chip is expected to be more power efficient, so the overall battery backup could remain similar. As for colours, the Pixel 11a is tipped to arrive in Obsidian, Olive, Frost and Fog.
