When Google switched its Pixel smartphones to Google’s own Tensor chips, things didn’t go smoothly immediately. The first version of the Tensor processor was based on Samsung’s Exynos chip, which had limited network connectivity. It wasn’t until the release of the Pixel 8 series of smartphones equipped with Tensor G3 chips that Google successfully solved the most pressing problem. Last year’s Tensor G5 was the first to be developed entirely by Google and manufactured by TSMC, but still used a Samsung modem. Things have changed now too.
Pixel 11 smartphones equipped with Tensor G6 chips are equipped with MediaTek modems, and Google believes this is the right decision. exist page The Google Store company stated directly: “The new modem is very reliable. [он] Faster and more energy efficient”. Footnotes clarify that these statements are based on testing “Pre-production equipment under laboratory conditions”but even in this form, the company’s announcement sounds promising. Samsung modems often cause performance degradation, faster battery drain, and overheating issues. Maybe, as Google claims, the transition to MediaTek will improve the Pixel 11 overall. Practice will prove the validity of these statements.
