Google Pixel 9 series FCC details
- The Pixel 9 series has been spotted on the US regulatory website FCC. The listing shows a total of eight models, according to a report by PhoneArena.
- While the listing doesn’t reveal which model number belongs to the Pixel 9 phones, the lineup is said to include all four of them, including the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
- The FCC listing confirms the Pixel 9 series will come with 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, NFC, and UWB (Ultra Wideband). With all models equipped with UWB, this contradicts a previous rumour that the vanilla Pixel 9 won’t have this feature. UWB is used for accurate tracking and locating of nearby devices.
- The Pixel 9 series will also come with support for Thread, an energy-saving protocol to control smart home devices.
