Igeekphone April 14 news, according to the Android Authority website reported that Google insiders revealed that the modem of Pixel 9 series mobile phones has been upgraded, which includes satellite connection function.
Since Google switched to its semi-custom Tensor chip in 2021, modem issues have plagued the Pixel line of phones. Since these chips were developed in collaboration with Samsung’s S.LSI division, Google chose to use an Exynos modem to simplify development. However, as the new platform matures, the problems become fewer and fewer.
The Pixel 9 series will debut with the Tensor G4, which brings a new modem, the Samsung Modem 5400, that supports 5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN), which is satellite-based communications.
The modem will be used on all cellular-enabled Tensor G4 devices, including the Pixel 9 series and the next-generation Pixel Fold. The source also revealed that Google is in the early stages of developing a 5G tablet, codenamed “clementine,” with the same modem.
Google Pixel 9 appearance rendering has previously been exposed, the machine uses a right Angle frame design, compared to the past round body appears more robust, the rear camera module will be more prominent.
