Google ‘Coral’ spotted at AOSP and Geekbench: but what is it?
July 05, 2025
A potential mobile device named Google ‘Coral’ has landed on benchmarking websiteGeekbench(viaMySmartPrice). The device was benchmarked yesterday apparently running Android Q with a Snapdragon 855 chipset and 6GB of RAM.
The Coral name also appears in theAndroid Open Source Project(AOSP), where many Android devices and features have been spotted before their official announcements. What exactly it refers to, however, we don’t know.
Seemingly, this is not the rumoredPixel 3 Lite or Pixel 3 Lite XL, though. Google tends to choose fish for its smartphone codenames — like Sargo and Bonito, the rumored codenames for the Pixel 3 Lite phones. The Coral name suggests this is something slightly different.
MySmartPricespeculates it may be a Chromebook (possibly a newPixelbook); if it’s running Android Q at launch, it may arrive around October with Google’s expected Pixel 4-series smartphones.
However, Qualcomm has dedicated chips for laptop-style devices such as theSnapdragon 8CXannounced alongside the Snapdragon 855. Meanwhile, Google tends to use Intel chips for its Chromebooks. A Snapdragon 855-based Chromebook seems like an odd proposal.
What’s more, a look through theGeekbench databaseshows the Google Coral has been benchmarked hundreds of times with Intel Celeron chipsets and motherboards since 2017. This latest listing is the first time Coral has been used with a Snapdragon 855 and Android Q, and it looks like the first time with the “coral” motherboard. Whether this indicates that such a device is now on the way, though, we can’t say.
As for the results, the 3296 single-core score and 9235 multi-core score put the device give the device a significant edge over the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, whichtend to scorearound 2300-2400 and 8300-8400 in the respective categories.
Google hasn’t commented on any of its upcoming devices so we’ll have to wait this one out for now. What do you think of the speculation? Let me know in the comments.
