The code names of the four phones in the series are leaked

The Pixel 10 have been leaking some details to get closer to next summer in which its launch is expected, since last year Google brought forward the presentation date of the Pixel 9. An internal Google source has shared certain documents that confirm the Pixel 11 codenames which will be released next year.

A leak that skips the next Google devices this year, since the first that would be presented is the Pixel 9a to replace the Pixel 8a last year launched in Spainand then the Pixel 10 series for its launch next summer as the station of choice for the technology giant.

The internal source has given some documents to Android Authority and thus know the code names that are usually of unique animal species. For example, for the Pixel 11 the denominator theme is going to be the bear, and it is not at all something new for Google use certain names according to a theme; For older versions of Android it always used dessert names like KitKat (Android 4.4), Lollipop (Android 5.0) or Marshmallow (Android 6.0).

Each of the mobile phones that make up the Pixel 11 series, and which is surprising for still being four models so that the folding mobile follow another of the protagonistshave their only name as one of the most dangerous subspecies and animals on the planet, the grizzly bear:
