Google’s Pixel lineup is notorious for leaking almost a year before launch, and the trend continues. Although the Pixel 10 is still a ways off, codenames for the Pixel 11 and Pixel 10a series, set to launch in 2026, have already surfaced. The Pixel 10 series codenames were revealed recently, making the early appearance of the Pixel 11’s codenames surprising.
According to Android Authority, Google is developing four Pixel 11 models, all with bear-themed codenames:
- Pixel 11 – cubs (4CS4)
- Pixel 11 Pro – grizzly (CGY4)
- Pixel 11 Pro XL – kodiak (PKK4)
- Pixel 11 Pro Fold – yogi (9YI4)
- Pixel 10a – stallion (STA5)
The Pixel 10 series will feature the Tensor G5 SoC, while the Pixel 11 series will launch with the Tensor G6, codenamed malibu.

With Google moving Android and Pixel launch dates two months earlier, the Pixel 11 series is expected to debut in Q2 of 2026. The Pixel 9a may launch soon, and leaked images of the Pixel 10a could appear shortly.
Currently, the Pixel 10a is in early development, with Google deciding whether to use the Tensor G5 or stick with the more cost-effective Tensor G4 for this mid-range device.
Though the Pixel 11 series is a while away, we have some insights into its potential features, including enhanced AI capabilities, particularly in the camera. Additionally, there will be new ML-based Always-on features, mainly focused on health.
