Pixel 6 could have UWB support for smart speakers, trackers Ewdison Then - May 2, 2021, 9:56pm CDT It seems that ultra-wideband or UWB is the new fad in mobile and IoT markets these days. The wireless communication technology is being used in smart home devices and smart trackers because of their ability to know a device’s location and even orientation. Apple and Samsung are among the first to put this technology to use in their latest phones but it seems that Google might be following suit as early as the Pixel 6 later this year. Google isn’t exactly one to quickly jump on new trends. Some might even say it takes too long to implement already common features. That said, it sometimes tries to even create a new trend, like its ill-fated, one-time sonar-based Project Soli tech on the Pixel 4.
