The FCC filing for the Pixel 11 Pro Fold suggests Google will replace Samsung’s Exynos modem with MediaTek’s M90 to pair with Tensor G6, signaling a break from Samsung modem tech and promising faster 5G, satellite connectivity, dual-SIM support, and improved power efficiency.
The upcoming Google Pixel 9 series will feature a new modem, the Samsung Modem 5400, with support for satellite connectivity, addressing previous connectivity issues. The modem will also be used in the next-gen Pixel Fold and a future 5G tablet. The Pixel 9 series will be the first to support Android's native satellite messaging, allowing for emergency communication via a "Satellite Gateway" app. While not a Qualcomm modem, the upgrade is expected to improve stability and offer a valuable emergency feature.
