A new Google Pixel smartphone has caught everyone’s attention after being listed on the UL Demko certification site. Known by its model number GH2MB, this mysterious device is confirmed to have a 4942mAh battery, which is likely to be marketed as a 5,000mAh battery.
Google has been busy with its lineup of phones, which includes the Pixel 8a, Pixel 9 series, and the much-awaited Pixel Fold 2. While we have glimpsed the Pixel 8a through leaked packaging and seen renders of the Pixel 9. Pixel 9 Pro, this new certification adds an exciting twist to the story.
The battery size of the GH2MB model suggests that it may belong to the flagship Pixel 9 series rather than the more budget-friendly Pixel 8a. This capability is in line with what we’ve come to expect from a high-end model, especially the Pro version. This could also be the case for the Pixel Fold 2, given that foldable phones require larger batteries to support their screens.
However, the certification does not clearly state which device this battery belongs to. We’ll have to wait until more details are revealed to know for sure.
In other Pixel news, a new Tensor chipset, possibly the Tensor G4, has been spotted in a Geekbench listing. This new chip could be used in the upcoming Pixel 9 series and Pixel Fold 2. Interestingly, the Geekbench description shows an octa-core processor, which is a step down from the Tensor G3’s nine cores, and its performance appears to be slightly lower. This has raised curiosity, as this could be Google’s initial engineering model or strategic change.
As more details emerge, Pixel fans are eager to see what Google has in store for the next generation of smartphones.
