I mean, if speed is the only reason to upgrade what would be the point? A phone can never make use of 6E speeds it's entirely pointless to have even faster.
Are there some other benefits it's missing out on?
Honestly though by the time wifi 7 is out in the world enough to be utilised the majority of Pixel 8 phones will be on the scrapheap.
I guess it might matter to people who'd like to stream their games from their console to their phone using some remote play app.
But that would require 1. The console to support >10 Gbps transfers, 2. Your internet infrastructure to support >10 Gbps in every step of the chain, and 3. The streaming actually using >10 Gbps.
Either one of these conditions is very unlikely to be fulfilled, let alone all of them.
Seriously this. The next gen routers are pretty expensive.
I can see in the next 3-4 years where it's more affordable. For most of the population, they absolutely not ready for this.
