Google might not kneecap the Pixel 11a with an old processor
Google's upcoming Pixel 11a may feature a flagship-grade processor, the Tensor G6, which is an improvement over the Tensor G4 found in the Pixel 10a. The Tensor G6 is rumored to have a more reliable MediaTek modem, which should help with battery drain and dropped signals. The Pixel 11a is expected to have a slightly smaller battery, but efficiency improvements from the new processor may help maintain or improve battery life.
