Pixel 10 may use MediaTek Modem for better battery life
Google’s Pixel phones have sometimes struggled with overheating and poor signal due to their modems. To improve this, the upcoming Pixel 10 may use a modem from MediaTek instead of Samsung.
Why MediaTek?
- Better Battery Life: MediaTek modems are known for their energy efficiency, which is crucial for Google, who prioritize long battery life in their phones.
- Cost-Effective: MediaTek modems are generally more affordable than those from Qualcomm, which could help Google keep the Pixel 10’s price competitive.
What to Expect:
- Improved Performance: Google likely chose MediaTek’s modem because they believe it will offer better performance than the Samsung modems used in previous Pixel phones.
- New Technology: The Pixel 10 may use the unreleased MediaTek T900 modem, which supports the latest 5G technology.
While the performance of this new modem is unknown, the switch to MediaTek could be a significant step towards improving the overall user experience of future Pixel phones.
