Google Pixel 10 Series: Leaked Codenames, Chipset, and What to Expect

The codenames Frankel, Blazer, Mustang, and Rango have apparently been assigned to smartphones in the Pixel 10 series, in that order.

After the release of the Google Pixel 9 series last month, speculation about its replacement, the Pixel 10 series, has already begun to circulate. There have been leaks of the codenames for the purported Pixel 10 devices. The Pixel 10 is rumored to be codenamed "Frankel," and other rumored phones in the forthcoming series have reportedly been given names akin to this. According to the source, four alleged versions will likely be released in 2019—a continuation of the pattern started by the Pixel 9 range.

Codenames for the Google Pixel 10 Series Leak

The Google Pixel 10 series will come in four models: Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold, according to a report from Android Headlines. The codenames Frankel, Blazer, Mustang, and Rango have been assigned to them in that order. According to the rumor, Google might once more introduce a foldable smartphone the following year.

This development expands on earlier reports that identified the codename of the Google Pixel 9a, the company's sole smartphone that is expected to launch ahead of the Pixel 10 series in 2019. The Pixel 9a, which may go by the codename "Tegu," is anticipated to go on sale in May of next year. It will be the newest smartphone in the company's range, joining the Pixel 9 series, much like in the past.

Google might, however, make a change in the upcoming year by including an older CPU with the reasonably priced Pixel 9a.

Google Pixel 10 Chipset

Apart from the designations, an earlier article speculated that Google might have finished designing the Tensor G5 processor, which will power the Pixel 10 series. It is rumored to have advanced to the "tape out" stage, which essentially implies the tech giant located in Mountain View can now make it at a foundry and extensively test it.

Tensor G5, in contrast to the preceding four generations, is purportedly entirely created internally and is predicated on a Samsung Exynos chip. It is anticipated to be produced utilizing the second-generation 3nm node (N3E) from TSMC, which would streamline the original N3B procedure even more.
