Google conducts early internal testing of MediaTek's M90 5G modem for the Pixel 11 smartphone family, following its selection of Samsung's Exynos 5400 for the Pixel 10 series. The M90 modem delivers maximum download speeds of 12 gigabits per second and reduces power consumption by 18 percent through UltraSave technology. MediaTek announced the modem earlier this year, which includes satellite connectivity support for areas without cellular coverage.
The transition from Samsung's older 4-nanometer manufacturing process could provide better efficiency and performance for next year's flagship devices. Apple previously switched from Intel modems to MediaTek solutions, which demonstrates the Taiwanese company's competitive wireless technology. Google has not confirmed orders for the M90 modem in the Pixel 11 lineup.
