The Pixel 7 and seven Professional have barely been out for a month, and we’re already listening to rumors about Google’s subsequent flagship telephones. German cell information web site WinFuture reviews two new Google units with codenames “Husky” and “Shiba” have been referenced in publicly obtainable supply code. Each units are apparently housing a brand new “Zuma” chip that could possibly be a successor to the corporate’s Tensor G2 SoC (by way of XDA Builders).
The code was analyzed by WinFuture author Ronald Quandt, who discovered the doggy-nicknamed smartphones inside and located that they run on Android 14. Google appears to have given it a brand new dessert identify, too: “Upside Down Cake,” persevering with the custom of sweetly naming its Android OS variations, although these have pale to the background since model 10.
When it comes to specs, the “Shiba” gadget has a 2268 x 1080p decision show that’s extra corresponding to the Pixel 7’s 2400 x 1080p display screen, although the Shiba has 12GB of RAM vs. the Pixel 7 with 8GB. However with the possible larger-sized “Husky,” the decision comes at 2822 x 1344p, which is only a bit below the present Pixel 7 Professional’s 3120 x 1440p display screen. Each the Pixel 7 Professional and the Husky have 12GB of RAM. The “Zuma” chip additionally appears to incorporate the identical Samsung G5300 5G modem that the present Tensor G2 SoC has.
The existence of this {hardware} within the code doesn’t essentially imply we’re seeing the primary glimpses of the Pixel 8 and eight Professional — or perhaps a attainable Pixel 7A and 7A XL — however it might simply be inside take a look at {hardware}. Regardless of the case, the subsequent leak (sure, Pixels have all the time leaked) will most likely reveal much more, or we will simply await one to indicate up on eBay earlier than it’s even revealed.
