Обзор Google considers hobbled-down Tensor chips for 2027 Pixel 11a and Pixel Tablet 3

[Обзор]

• Google is already planning Tensor G6-based Pixel 11a and Pixel Tablet 3.
• The Pixel Tablet series appears to be switching to a bi-yearly release cycle.
• The new devices will have special versions of the Google Tensor G6 with parts of the TPU fused off.

Google has had a bit of a problem with recent A-series devices. With very similar specs (and prices) to the non-Pro flagship Pixels, the phones’ existence felt poorly justified, so much so that Google even considered only releasing the devices every two years. Fortunately, that’s now changing; the Pixel 9a might have a completely different design and will employ some cost-cutting measures like an older modem, showing Google finally has an idea for the series.

The latest info we’ve found in leaked materials from Google’s gChips team confirms the company’s commitment to the series. Android Authority has viewed documents stating that Google intends to release a Pixel 11a, as well as a new Pixel Tablet, in 2027.
