Google accidentally leaked its Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro smartphones, hinting they will be equipped with an improved Tensor chip.

Aside from that, there are other Google Pixel devices to watch out for this year, including the Pixel Watch and Pixel 6a.

Google Pixel 7 in the Works

After the successful release of the Google Pixel 6 series last October, the search engine giant appears ready to introduce an update of the said device.

According to Forbes, the latest Google Pixel 7 leak, which was accidentally shared by the company, was found in the code for Android 13.

To further emphasize, both devices were discovered by 9to5Google and developer Cstark27, disclosing additional development codenames alongside a lot of new features.

Google Pixel 7 Leak: Codenames, Upgrades

In relation to the release of code Android 13 Developer Preview, 9to5Google stated that they uncovered numerous information about the things that Google will be offering this year. Cstark27 first spotted that the GS201 chip will be equipped with a Samsunf modem with a model number g5300b.

Samsung has yet to reveal this chipset, which is promising given that the Pixel 6 series featured an Exynos 5123 modem that was disclosed by the South Korean technology company in October of 2019.

For those who do not know, the Pixel 6 series has a model number of g5123b, the number 5123 was originated from the Exynos Modem 5123.

With the given model number, 9to5Google expressed belief that Google's second-generation Tensor chip will equip what could be called the Exynos Modem 5300.

Meanwhile, the GS201 chip has the codename "Cloudripper"--which is assumed to be used by the developer testing board.

Since codenames were used instead of the name of the anticipated device, it is also believed that there are three other device codenames linked with the new Exynos Modem 5300. Two of the said codenames identified for Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro are "Cheetah" and "Panther."

This information showed that the Pixel 7 series will be powered by the second-generation Google Tensor GS201 CPU, as these devices are said to feature the same modem as Cloudripper.

On the other hand, Tom's Guide added to the leak that the Pixel 7 may be the first Google device to be equipped with the new Tensor chipset despite the fact that there are several Pixel-based devices that will be released this year.

It is also worth noting that fans are likely to see at least three other Pixel devices before the new flagships arrive in October, per Tom's Guide.

Other Google Pixel Leaks To Know

Among the rumored Pixel devices to watch out for, one of them is the Google Pixel 6a.

This device is expected to be a trimmed-down version from last year's flagship with the same first-generation Tensor processing capability but a lower-spec camera and a less expensive design.

Aside from this, there is also a possibility that Google's first wearable Pixel Watch will be released in May. Following Google's $2.1 billion acquisition of Fitbit, the watch is rumored to sport a circular design, a crown and some Fitbit software integration as a way to show off what Wear OS 3 can accomplish.

Despite these latest Google Pixel 7 leaks, there is no official confirmation from Google about their validity.
