Pixel 11 users report familiar connectivity issues after modem switch

Some Pixel 11 owners report 5G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth problems, though complaints appear limited and may not stem from the new MediaTek modem.

The complaints are limited to a small number of users, with plenty of Pixel 11 owners saying their connectivity is working perfectly. It is too early to blame the new MediaTek modem, as carriers, network conditions, routers, firmware, and individual hardware could all be factors.

Google’s switch from Samsung Exynos to a MediaTek modem on the Pixel 11 series was supposed to close one of the longest-running chapters in Pixel history. After years of complaints around reception, connectivity, and cellular battery drain, the new modem arrived as one of the generation’s most meaningful upgrades.
