Pixel 10 Lineup: Codenames Suggest Multiple Devices in the Works
Tech enthusiasts hold onto your hats! Google's next generation of Pixel smartphones is racing toward us, bringing a whole stable of exciting new models.
Fresh information has surfaced about the upcoming Pixel 10 series, revealing the devices we can expect and their intriguing codenames.
The Pixel 10 Herd
Google seems to be expanding its smartphone offerings with four distinct models:
- Pixel 10: Codenamed “Frankel”
- Pixel 10 Pro: Codenamed “Blazer”
- Pixel 10 Pro XL: Codenamed “Mustang”
- Pixel 10 Pro Fold: Codenamed “Rango”
If you're sensing a theme here, you're right. Three out of four codenames are horse-related, with “Rango” being the odd one out (though it could be a nod to the animated chameleon sheriff from the movie of the same name).
Why the Long Face?
Google's choice of equine-inspired codenames is intriguing. Could it be hinting at the power and speed of these new devices?
Or perhaps it's a playful nod to the “horsepower” under the hood? While we can only speculate, it's clear that Google is having some fun with its naming conventions.
Tensor G5: A New Breed of Chip
One of the most exciting aspects of the Pixel 10 series is the potential inclusion of the Tensor G5 chip.
If rumors are to be believed, this could be Google's first chip manufactured using a 3nm process. This advancement could lead to significant improvements in performance and energy efficiency.
The Budget-Friendly Foal
For those who prefer a more affordable option, fear not! The Pixel 9a, codenamed “tegu” (breaking from the horse theme), is also developing. This budget-friendly model is expected to trot onto the market next spring.
Wrapping Up the Race
While we're still in the early stages of information about the Pixel 10 series, these codenames and the potential for a new Tensor chip have piqued our interest. As we wait for more details to emerge, one thing's for sure: Google is betting big on its next generation of smartphones.
Keep your eyes peeled for more news about these exciting devices. Who knows? The Pixel 10 series might be the dark horse changing the smartphone game.
