Google has decided to end its long-standing partnership with Qualcomm and instead use MediaTek's T900 modem in the Pixel 10 series. The decision marks a significant shift in Google's mobile strategy as the company looks to move away from its dependence on Qualcomm's Snapdragon platform.
According to a source close to Google (via Android Authority), the search giant considered all the options for 5G modems on the market, including Qualcomm's Snapdragon X75, which is currently used and proven in Apple's iPhone 16 series. However, Google has decided to go with MediaTek's T900 modem for its next-generation Pixel phones.
The T900 is part of MediaTek's "M85" modem family, which is expected to support the latest 3GPP Release 17 5G specification and possibly even newer standards. It's worth noting that the predecessor "M80" already supported Release 16, so the addition of Release 17 to the M85 makes it a significant upgrade — one that's well above the previous high-end specification. However, details about the T900 are still unclear.
According to experts, Google's move to use MediaTek's 5G modem instead of Qualcomm's is a bold and somewhat risky move. MediaTek's solution has very good theoretical specifications, but has not been proven in practice. In addition, Google does not provide the option to use Qualcomm's modem technology. This shows that the company is increasingly focused on establishing its own internal mobile ecosystem, independent of any third-party chipset suppliers.
The fact that Google’s in-house Tensor chipset development and manufacturing has already begun to reduce its reliance on partners like Samsung, and the move to MediaTek modems suggests that this will continue. But there’s also the risk of an unproven solution like the T900, which could impact connectivity performance and compatibility for a product line as important to Google as the Pixel 10.
In related news, Google’s new Tensor G5 processor will also come with some important camera upgrades. Specifically, the company said the chip will support 4K 60fps HDR video, while the current Tensor G4 only supports up to 4K 30fps HDR. Also mentioned in the documentation is that the Pixel 11 could offer 100x zoom.
For a long time, with the development and popularity of social networking platforms, the "blue tick" has gradually become one of the most powerful characters in the internet world.
Google's Chromecast line has long been a popular choice if you want to replace your smart TV experience or turn any TV into a smart TV.
Google is adding a small but long-awaited new feature to the Play Store.
After years of neglect, Google has finally decided to refocus its investment on extended reality (XR) devices like headsets and glasses.
While not as widely discussed as some of its competitors, Google's Gemini AI has a lot going for it — and here are five reasons why Gemini deserves your attention.
There are many Android manufacturers, but not all of them pay attention to software updates. Although the situation has improved over the past decade, not all smartphone manufacturers provide great software support.
Recently, some users noticed that Google Gemini has been giving repetitive text, weird characters, and complete nonsense in some responses.
The Google app for iPhone is about to become a little less useful as Google recently removed access to Gemini AI from that app.
Losing access to your Google account can have serious consequences beyond not being able to send and receive email.
Google has just announced that users can now create videos using artificial intelligence through its Gemini chatbot and the recently launched experimental tool Whisk.
