The Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro have now turned up on the FCC's database, just over a month before their official launches alongside the Pixel Watch 2. So far, the FCC has outlined five model number variants, all without rumoured Wi-Fi 7 connectivity.

I just found out about the existence of the Wi-Fi 7 standard because the Pixel 8 does not have it.

Final version of the standard isn't out yet.

Not sure why people are trying to push it so soon.

I do think that the reduced latency and jitter due to the simultaneous 3-band capability is great but... Let the standard get finalized before selling it!

Still remember the Draft-N routers that were just terrible.

Maybe the FCC filing doesn't show certification for Wi-Fi 7 because that certification DOESN'T EXIST YET! And maybe, just maybe that's because Wi-Fi 7 also DOES NOT EXIST YET!
