Phones Canada has recently discovered a UL Demko certification for an upcoming unknown Pixel model. This certification indicates that the device meets safety standards in Denmark and could potentially bring exciting news for the upcoming Pixel model. Here are some key insights from the UL Demko certification:
– The certified Pixel variant, identified by the model number GH2MB, is equipped with a battery rated at 4942mAh.
– If this certification pertains to the upcoming mid-ranger Pixel 8a, it would signify a significant 12.7% increase in battery capacity compared to the previous year’s Pixel 7a.
– Given that the next expected Pixel handset from Google is likely to be introduced in May during the Google I/O 2024 developer conference, there is a strong possibility that the Pixel 8a could benefit from this larger battery.
On the other hand, the recently released Pixel Fold fits into the category of an upcoming Pixel handset. With last year’s first-gen model featuring a battery capacity of 4821mAh, a 4942mAh battery would be fitting for its successor – potentially indicating a reasonable 2.5% increase in battery capacity.
Looking ahead to October when the Pixel 9 series is anticipated, if this new cell were intended for the Pixel 9, it would offer an impressive 8% more capacity compared to its predecessor. However, if targeted for the Pixel 9 Pro – which featured a larger 5050mAh battery – it would represent a slight decline in battery capacity.
It’s important to note that Google has been striving to improve battery life on its latest smartphones. The potential boost in battery life for both mid-range and flagship models holds promise for users seeking enhanced performance and longevity from their devices.
As we await further details on this mysterious UL Demko certified device, there is certainly anticipation surrounding potential improvements in battery life across Google’s upcoming lineup of smartphones.
Stay tuned as we continue to monitor developments regarding this exciting new addition to Google’s renowned Pixel series!
