The FCC certification database spat out not one or two Pixel phone model numbers, but a full set of four, leaving us wondering about its 2022 plans going forward. At the Google I/O conference in May we are expecting the midrange Pixel 6a, while in the fall Google could be announcing the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, just like last year it issued the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro in November.
Get the Pixel 6 Pro at $200 off from Amazon
Google's Pixel 6 Pro is currently seeing a significant discount at Amazon. The phone is available in its 128GB and 256GB of storage versions. Note that not all color options are in stock.

The fourth model number, however, is more mysterious. The FCC logged a GX7AS, GB17, G1AZG, and GB62Z phones, reports GoAndroid, and listed they'd all sport 5G, LTE, Wi-Fi 6E, or Bluetooth, which are a staple on modern phones, even the potential budget Pixel 6a.
Before we go on a tangent here and envision that the Google Pixel Fold might also be among these four model numbers as it is rumored to finally appear in 2022 after being put on the back burner last year, let's remember that when the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro hit the FCC, they carried no less than six model numbers with them - GLU0G, G9S9B, G8V0U, GF5KQ, GB7N6, and GR1YH - according to the different carriers they appeared on, and this might be the case with the 2022 Pixel phones as well.
On another note, there was a rumor that Google will try to pull the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro announcement for earlier in the year, rather than release them way after the new iPhones have hit the shelves. Still, we doubt that Google will announce the 7-series together with the Pixel 6a at the I/O expo, but it can certainly tease them, as it was teasing the 6-series the whole of last summer.
