As per the information, the 3.45GHz midband 5G network will be compatible with a limited number of flagship devices, which have been launched in the year 2022, meaning new devices only.

A new list has appeared online, where you can check out high-end flagship phones (Samsung and Apple) and hotspots that will be eligible for AT&T 5G networks.

Smartphones

  • Samsung Galaxy S22
  • Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus
  • Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
  • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4
  • Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4
  • Apple iPhone 14
  • Apple iPhone 14 Plus
  • Apple iPhone 14 Pro
  • Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max

Hotspots

  • Netgear Nighthawk M6
  • Netgear Nighthawk M6 Pro

Only the above-mentioned devices will be compatible. Samsung Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy Z Flip 3, and Galaxy Z Fold 3 smartphones are also not on the carrier’s compatibility list.

Samsung-AT&T-5G

 

In August 2022, AT&T reportedly announced to upgrade of its recent 5G devices list by including iPhone 12, Samsung Galaxy S21, Google Pixel 6, and iPhone 13  series smartphones to support the 3.45GHz midband spectrum.

But the Assistant VP of corporate communications of AT&, Jim Green said that an inaccurate list of 3.45GHz compatible devices was provided by mistake and then incorrectly confirmed during the fact checking.

Flagship AT&T devices that are not in the above-mentioned list will still be able to connect to the company’s 5G networks, including its C-band 5G that operates in a similar frequency. But the carrier is planning to use both 3.45GHz and C-band to create a stronger mid band network nationwide to provide an amazing experience.

Google Pixel 9a

Google launched the Pixel 9 series earlier than the usual Pixel flagship launch timeline. The Android 16 is also reportedly coming earlier than we’d expect, and the latest report says Google could launch Pixel 9a in the first quarter of the next year.

According to AndroidHeadlines, Google Pixel 9a could be announced by mid-March 2025. Multiple sources citing the outlet confirmed that the next affordable Pixel will go on sale before the end of March 2025.

It seems Google is preparing to bring its Galaxy S24 FE rival around the 2025 iPhone SE debut. Samsung has recently launched the new FE smartphone, while Apple is said to announce the next-generation iPhone SE early next year.

Recently, the CAD renders of Pixel 9a smartphone have been revealed. The images showcased Google’s design decisions. The next A series Pixel could not get bumped camera bar shown in the Pixel 9 series flagships.

Pixel 9 Pro XL sparks privacy fears, sends private data to Google every 15 minutes

Google Pixel 9

Pixel 9 Pro XL reportedly sends private user data to Google servers every 15 minutes. A security researcher at Cybernews discovered that the phone frequently transmits sensitive user data, such as email addresses, phone numbers, and locations.

The discovery sparked a privacy fear as private data is being sent to Google through the Pixel 9 Pro XL. The smartphone sometimes transmits sensitive user data to Google servers even before any apps are installed.

The report also states that the Pixel 9 Pro XL has remote management capabilities, which operate without user consent or awareness. It seems there’s a severe security flaw within the Pixel 9 Pro XL’s operating system.

The phone communicates with services like Google Photos’ Face Grouping without user interaction, raising further privacy concerns. The native Calculator is also suspicious as it could leak calculation history to unauthorized users under certain conditions.

“The amount of data transmitted and the potential for remote management casts doubt on who truly owns the device. Users may have paid for it, but the deep integration of surveillance systems in the ecosystem may leave users vulnerable to privacy violations,” Nazarovas said.

It looks like the AI integration has made some major security flaws across the OS. Google packed the new Pixel phones with advanced security features. The research only discusses potential threats, with data leak isn’t such a general task.

Interestingly, Cybernews researchers employed a “man-in-the-middle” approach to capture and analyze this traffic but noted limitations due to the rooting process. As AI is making our lives easier, it is putting the data at threat at the same time.
