A pile of new Google devices just hit the FCC, and based on the details included, it looks like they are probably versions of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. All are "phones" according to the FCC, and some models have mmWave 5G paired with Wi-Fi 6E support, while other models make do with sub-6 GHz 5G and 6E.

The G9S9B has mmWave 5G support and Wi-Fi 6E.

Initially, we thought that A4RG9S9B might be a Pixel 6 Pro given the inclusion of mmWave, with A4RGB7N6 being the non-Pro non-mmWave version, but following our initial publication, details for two more FCC filings (A4RG8V0U and A4RGLU0G) were published, so now we aren't so sure. That's further confused by the fact that the A4rGLU0G listing includes details for A4RG8V0U.  In short: Things are a little messy.

Some models have 5G n258 support, others don't. 

A4RG9S9B corresponds to model name G9S9B, while A4RGB7N6 is for model names GB7N6 and GR1YH. A new A4RG8V0U and A4RGLU0G covers G8V0U and GF5KQ. The G9S9B, G8V0U, and GF5KQ have mmWave 5G support, while the GR1YH and GB7N6 do not. However, G9S9B lacks mmWave n258 support. There's also a mmWave-free GLU0G model. Specs are otherwise pretty similar, though ultra wideband support varies. Sadly, we can't find dimensional details to directly corroborate which phone might be which, though we do have a pair of educated guesses based on recent context.

The GB7N6 and GR1YH lack mmWave 5G but have Wi-Fi 6E.

Two model numbers were tied to the Pixel 6 family previously. GR1YH was previously associated with the "Oriole" hardware name for the Pixel 6 during development, and GF5KQ was tied to "Raven." GR1YH conclusively doesn't have mmWave, while GF5KQ does, which could imply that mmWave as a feature will be exclusive to "Raven." If so, and given that sometimes mmWave is a feature reserved for physically larger phones, that could mean Oriole is the Pixel 6, and Raven is the Pixel 6 Pro.

However, perhaps more likely is the fact that ultra wideband support could be exclusive to the larger phone, and there's also a clear dichotomy there, with A4RG8V0U and A4RGLU0G models (GF5KQ, G8V0U, and GLU0G) supporting that, while A4RG9S9B and A4RGB7N6 models (G9S9B, GB7N6, and GR1YH) don't. If so, that could mean mmWave versions of both the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro will land, and GF5KQ, G8V0U, and GLU0G could be the Pixel 6 Pro while G9S9B, GB7N6, and GR1YH are the Pixel 6. Potentially corroborating this is the fact that G9S9B9 has slightly more limited mmWave bands compared to GF5KQ and G8V0U, and n258 support may have required a physically larger design.

A spreadsheet of all six relevant models and details. 

Ultimately, the FCC paints an incomplete picture, and regional or carrier variants may have things mixed up. Some of the FCC details are a bit confusing, especially for the GLU0G model. We'll have to wait for more details to be sure. For all we know, one or more of these could be the rumored Pixel foldable, further confusing details.

All the models that hit the FCC today support Wi-Fi 6E, meaning they should work with the brand-new 6GHz Wi-Fi spec, hardware for which started rolling out just earlier this year. Google's flagships would then be jumping straight past Wi-Fi 6, which the Pixel 5 notably did not include. This year's Pixel 5a also didn't get Wi-Fi 6 — though it's basically just a big-screen Pixel 5 with no wireless charging and a slower refresh rate display, so that tracks.

Earlier today, a permissive change for the Pixel 5a also hit the FCC with support for the new, as-yet unused "Andromeda" frequencies scheduled for auction in October, which the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro will also support, according to the details published by the FCC. Analysts predict that AT&T will purchase most of the licenses for that new spectrum.

More models

Shortly after publication, two new applications for several new models hit the FCC, and our coverage has been updated with more details.
