• Google is testing the MediaTek T900 modem in its Pixel 10 prototypes.
• Not much is currently known about the modem, but it should support 3GPP Release 17 5G specification.
  

Over the past month, we’ve seen a lot of information about the future, fully in-house designed Google Tensor chips leak, including full specs of the Tensor G5 and Tensor G6, a list of features they might enable, and more. We went from knowing basically nothing to having a good idea of what the future Tensor chips and the Pixel handset they’ll power will have to offer.

One important unanswered question, however, is what modem would be used in the future Pixels. All the devices using Tensor chips designed in collaboration with Samsung used Exynos modems, presumably because they were the easiest to integrate, but with Google going fully independent, it doesn’t necessarily have a reason to continue that practice.
