FCC filings cited by Android Authority indicate Google’s Pixel 11 series will pair the Tensor G6 with a MediaTek modem, replacing Samsung’s Exynos 5G modem.
The reported setup uses MediaTek’s M90 modem on a TSMC 2nm-built Tensor G6, with support for up to 12GB/s downloads, dual active 5G, and satellite emergency messaging.
That would further reduce Google’s reliance on Samsung after moving Tensor chip production away from Samsung Foundry last year, leaving Samsung mainly supplying OLED panels, some camera sensors, DRAM and UFS storage.
The Pixel 11 lineup is expected to include 4 models running Android 17 and reportedly launch on August 12.
