Rumors point to a Tensor G6 (or equivalent next-gen Tensor) built for better on-device AI, performance boosts and power efficiency — a core reason Google times launches to match chip availability.
3: Multiple Pixel 11 models likely (standard, Pro, XL, Fold)
Leaks suggest Google may continue a multi-model approach: Pixel 11 (base), Pixel 11 Pro, a larger Pro XL and a Pro Fold. The foldable typically ships later than the main line.
