Google FCC Filing Signals Pixel 11 Tensor G6 MediaTek Modem Switch Ahead of August 12 Launch

Summary
Page 30 of the Pixel 11 Pro Fold’s FCC SAR test report references MediaTek algorithms, giving the clearest regulatory clue yet that Google’s Tensor G6 will drop Samsung’s modem.
That matters because every previous Tensor chip used an Exynos modem, while leaks for months had pointed to a MediaTek M90 component in the Pixel 11 series.
The filing does not name the modem outright, but the RF testing context makes a Samsung-built modem using MediaTek algorithms highly unlikely.
The Pixel 11 Pro Fold is already the first Pixel 11 model to clear the FCC, with earlier paperwork confirming 5G, satellite connectivity, UWB, NFC, Thread and wireless charging.
The new clue lands about a month before Google’s August 12 Pixel 11 debut, narrowing one of the last major hardware questions around Tensor G6.
