The Pixel 9 Pro and even the Pixel 9 Pro XL may not have LTPO displays in India, Malaysia and Singapore. In those regions they have Actua Displays instead of the Super Actua Displays that are used on units sold in the rest of the world. Note that Actua and Super Actua tech is about display brightness rather than refresh rate, but it still shows that different panels are used. That is strange since the Pixel 8 Pro (the large phone that is the predecessor of the 9 Pro XL) already had an LTPO panel.

So, the article is based on speculation instead of hard evidence. They dropped the may and made a concrete statement in the title.

Anyway, there’s more – Pixel 9 phones sold in India do not support Wi-Fi 7, but phones sold anywhere else (including Malaysia and Singapore) do. This includes the two Pro models and the vanilla Pixel 9.

So, only in India?

We should note that India’s wireless agency still hasn’t okayed the use of the 6GHz band. That said, Wi-Fi 7 has improvements that also function in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, so there’s no reason to drop support, whether or not the phones ever get to use the 6GHz band.

And the reason being regulation in India.

sigh news these days..

Another thing we noticed is that Google VPN

Didn't they discontinue the Google VPN?

I thought gsmarena were supposed to be a bit better than this
