Both Google and Apple seem to be tired of Qualcomm’s shit.

This is why they're trying to expand into regular computing with their new windows laptop chip lineup.
They've been burning relationships with their customers for years, and now those customers have viable alternatives.

TBF all chip vendors suck

WTF to they mean "break away", Google isn't using Qualcomm modems in any Tensor. They're using Samsung's modem, the one that ships in various Exynos-based devices. And 4 generations of Pixel have been using Tensor.

Hopefully the mediatek modem ends up being as reliable as the equivalent Snapdragon would have been. I'm generally leery of unproven tech

They can easily handle gigabit 5g speeds if my friends' speed tests using chinese phones with the mediatek systems says anything

Probably wouldn't sell the modems if they wouldn't use their SOC

Huge if true

Not really. Look up the modem user in the pixel 9

Exynos? Which makes sense given their relationship with Samsung.
