Google Pixel 11a and Pixel Tablet 3 to have inferior chips compared to the flagship Pixels | Infinium-tech
According to a new rumor, Google will launch a new Pixel tablet every two years. Thus Pixel Tablet 2 is coming in 2025 and Pixel Tablet 3 is coming in 2027. Also in 2027, the company will launch the affordable Pixel 11a.
Both of these devices will theoretically use the same Tensor chip as the flagship Pixel line, but in practice things won’t be exactly the same. Google is reportedly going to fuse defective parts of the TPU to save chips that would normally have to be discarded. After this, these chips will be used in Pixel 11a and Pixel Tablet 3.

Thus, they could have lower AI performance compared to flagship Pixel smartphones. This step will cause differences in performance between devices. This could be felt as a real performance difference, or it could mean that some features will not be available for the Pixel 11a and Pixel Tablet 3.
The Pixel 9a also has a downgraded modem compared to other Pixel 9 phones, and this trend may continue in the future.
All that said, keep in mind we’re in 2024 and talking about 2027 here – these devices aren’t even in development yet, so obviously a lot can change between now and then.
The Pixel Tablet 3 is said to come with an additional USB-C port, which will support DisplayPort output for up to two displays when used with daisy-chaining.
