Google Pixel 9 series was launched last month and the rumour mill about its successor – the Pixel 10 series – has already kicked into gear. The codenames for the alleged Pixel 10 smartphones have been leaked. The Pixel 10 is said to be codenamed ‘Frankel', while similar names have also been given to other purported handsets in the upcoming series. The leak suggests the launch of four purported models next year, continuing the trend set by the Pixel 9 lineup.

Google Pixel 10 Series Codenames Leak

According to an Android Headlines report, the Google Pixel 10 series will include four models: Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. They have been given the codenames Frankel, Blazer, Mustang, and Rango, respectively. The report effectively suggests that Google may again launch a foldable smartphone next year.

This development builds upon previous leaks that revealed the codename of the Google Pixel 9a – the only smartphone from the company which is slated to debut before the Pixel 10 series next year. The Pixel 9a is expected to launch in May next year and may have the codename ‘Tegu'. Like yesteryears, it will join the Pixel 9 series as the company's latest smartphone lineup.

However, Google may change things up next year by offering an older chipset with its affordable Pixel 9a.

In addition to codenames, a previous report suggested that Google may have completed the design process of the Tensor G5 chipset that will power the Pixel 10 series. It is speculated to have reached the “tape out” stage, which effectively means that the Mountain View-based tech giant can now produce it at a foundry and test it thoroughly.

Unlike the previous four generations which were based on an Exynos chip from Samsung, Tensor G5 is said to be fully developed in-house. It is tipped to be fabricated using TSMC's second-generation 3nm node (N3E), further simplifying the initial N3B process.
