Big news may be on the way for fans of Google. A new leak says the next Pixel 11 series could come with a brand-new security chip dubbed Titan M3. If true, this may push the phone into a new class of safe use. According to Mystic Leaks (on Telegram), the new security chip will sit in the soon-to-be-shipped Tensor G6 chip.

From Titan M to M3

Back in 2018, Google gave the Pixel 3 its own security chip, called Titan M. Over time, this grew into Titan M2, built into the Tensor chips. Now, Titan M3 may take that role. The leak says the chip has the code name “Google Epic,” with a firmware name of “longjing.” While those names may not mean much to most, the aim is clear: boost security, protect PIN and passwords as well as payment data. This feature also checks that the phone boots in a clean and safe state each time you turn it on.

How Titan Keeps Data Safe

Titan is built on a RISC-V base. This lets it run key safe tasks on its own, cut off from the main OS. That split is key. If the main OS is hit by bad code, Titan can still guard the most key data. It also works with a tool known as KeyMint, once called Strongbox Keymaster. This team-up helps keep pay apps like Google Pay in a safe zone. If Titan M3 does add new guard tools, the Pixel 11 line may set a new bar for safe phones.

A New Chip, A New Edge

The Pixel 11 line is also set to gain from a big shift in chip build. Google has moved its chip work from Samsung to TSMC. The Tensor G6 may use a 2nm build, which could mean less heat and less drain on the battery. That mix of power and safe tech may give the next Pixel a strong edge. If the leaks are true, the Pixel 11 may not just be smart. It may be one of the safest phones you can buy.
