Overview

• Mystic Leaks shared a command-line screenshot referencing baseband version “a900a” and a “spacecraft” bootloader, which outlets say indicates early internal tests on Pixel 11 hardware.
• The M90, announced by MediaTek at MWC 2025, supports up to 12Gbps peak downlink, dual 5G SIM dual‑active, satellite connectivity, and AI‑driven power optimizations.
• MediaTek claims the M90 delivers about an 18% reduction in average power consumption compared with its prior modems, though Google’s use of the chip remains unconfirmed.
• Pixel 9 and Pixel 10 used Samsung’s Exynos 5400(i) modem, and a switch would further distance Pixel hardware from Samsung components.
• The testing aligns with Google’s broader supplier realignment after shifting Tensor chip manufacturing toward TSMC, but no final modem supplier decision has been announced.
