Now, as we approach the tenth anniversary of Pixel and the five-year anniversary of that step into custom silicon, Google is rumored to be working on yet another step forward for its security coprocessor.<\/p>\n<p>As reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/mysticleaks\/151\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mystic Leaks on Telegram<\/a>, Google is apparently working on Titan M3 for <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2025\/10\/03\/pixel-11-tensor-g6-modem\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">this year\u2019s Tensor G6<\/a>, codenamed \u201cGoogle Epic,\u201d running firmware \u201clongjing.\u201d There\u2019s not much else to go off of here other than these initial internal listings, though this leaked report suggests Google is aiming to compete more directly with Apple\u2019s Secure Enclave. It\u2019s certainly been a while since we\u2019ve seen a fresh Titan M-series coprocessor, and whatever anniversary plans the company has in store for Pixel this year seems to suggest this is as good a time as any for a refresh.<\/p>\n<p>But as for what to expect, all we can really do is speculate using past information. The <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/devices\/pixel\/titan-m-makes-pixel-3-our-most-secure-phone-yet\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">blog post for Google\u2019s initial Titan launch<\/a> points to a handful of ways it\u2019s designed to protect your phone, including bootloader validation, lock screen protection through a limited series of login attempts, and the ability to \u201cgenerate and store\u201d private keys through the then-new StrongBox KeyStore API launched with Android 9. When Google launched the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/devices\/pixel\/introducing-google-tensor\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">RISC-V-based Titan M2 chip<\/a> alongside Tensor, it promoted protection against \u201celectromagnetic analysis, voltage glitching, and even laser fault injection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Google has certainly seen a handful of Pixel vulnerabilities over the last half-decade, though it\u2019s been able to fix most (if not all) of them through monthly security patches. Whether Titan M3 brings improvements to that front \u2014 or, perhaps, goes for more out-there targets like the M2\u2019s laser fault injection protection \u2014 remains to be seen. Either way, it\u2019s shaping Tensor G6 up to be an interesting launch, and one that could help the <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2026\/01\/28\/google-pixels-tensor-chip-said-to-help-weather-a-rocky-smartphone-market-in-2026\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">brand during otherwise unsteady times<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/9to5google.com\" aria-label=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1764374954_669_google-preferred-source-badge-dark.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-light\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1764374954_276_google-preferred-source-badge-light.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/benqurl.biz\/3WZyqpL\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-704145\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1771540870_906_native-banner_750_150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"140\"\/><\/a>\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Google initially debuted its Titan M security chip back in 2018 with the Pixel 3 before following it&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":486287,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[49,48,190,61],"class_list":{"0":"post-486286","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-mobile","11":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/486286","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=486286"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/486286\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/486287"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=486286"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=486286"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=486286"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
