It has come to light that Dell's upcoming Googlebook will be "Mica," powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon X series. Based on related benchmarks, there is a strong possibility that the official device name will be the "Dell XPS 13 (DX13267)," though this remains unconfirmed at this stage.
The Dell XPS 13 DX13267 moniker itself has already been confirmed through numerous benchmark tests on Geekbench 6. Now, thanks to a newly discovered reference to "mica-userdebug" within the thumbprint of the Android 17 desktop build CL2B.260330.081 tied to these benchmarks, we can definitively confirm that Mica and the Dell XPS 13 DX13267 are the exact same device.
What is Mica?
Mica is one of the devices in the Bluey series adopting Qualcomm's Snapdragon X series architecture. Another device in the Bluey lineup, Quartz, has already been confirmed as the HP Googlebook 14c. Mica has long been positioned as a strong candidate for Dell’s Googlebook, primarily because its battery-related codebase mirrors that of existing Dell devices.
Initial reports suggested that Mica would feature a 13-to-14-inch OLED display and a Snapdragon X Plus X1P-40-100 processor. However, recent benchmarks indicate the potential inclusion of the higher-tier Snapdragon X Elite X1E-80-100, aligning its performance capabilities with HP's upcoming hardware.
Benchmark Scores and Specifications
Benchmarks have revealed two configurations running the Snapdragon X Elite X1E-80-100, paired with either 16GB or 32GB of RAM. All tested devices are operating on Android 17.
There is some variation in the current scores, with testing units listed both as "Dell XPS 13 DX13267" and under a pseudonym associated with Mica, "Google Multi-device ARM64." This variance indicates that the devices are still undergoing software optimization. Final performance metrics are expected to settle around 2,200 for single-core and 9,500 for multi-core scores.
While exact specifications remain unclear, the "DX13267" model number closely resembles the "DX13260," a 13-inch Windows XPS model equipped with the Intel Core Ultra Series 3. This implies that the new Googlebook will likely share a similar hardware footprint and aesthetic.
The Return of the XPS?
The XPS series, widely acclaimed in the Windows consumer market, was highly anticipated to make its debut as a Chromebook years ago. That transition never materialized, and Dell eventually stepped back from releasing consumer-focused models entirely.
However, this latest discovery suggests Dell is poised to re-enter the consumer device space under the Googlebook brand—potentially marking the very first XPS device for this new ecosystem.
At present, while the name "Dell XPS 13 (DX13267)" has been spotted in the backend, the official retail name remains unverified. Given that other manufacturers are incorporating "Googlebook" into their branding, Dell's final product name will likely follow suit.
Although we are still awaiting officially confirmed specs, the revelation of Dell's device means that the lineup from all first five launch partners—following Acer, ASUS, Lenovo, and HP—is now complete.
