So according to an FCC filing the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro will support Wi-Fi 6E but not the newer Wi-Fi 7.

For a comparison, you can get a max speed of 9.6 Gb/s with Wi-Fi 6E, while Wi-Fi 7 can reach a speed of 46 Gb/s.

If it's a flagship phone and the other flagships are shipping with the chipset that is wifi 7 then it's a bad mark against Google.

However in real terms it's unlikely to impact the majority of users. Considering there's no routers with wifi 7 in existence and no Internet companies are capable of 46gbs.

Google should be future proofing devices. If they reduce price for an older modem then that would be beneficial. They won't but it would be nice.

Yeah but is that future within the next 2-5 years?
