https://wccftech.com/google-pixel-6-and-pixel-6-pro-finally-approved-by-fcc/ > Google's upcoming Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro have finally received approval from FCC in the United States. This puts both of the devices a lot closer to the launch. Like many other countries, it is essential for smartphones or other devices with wireless functionality to get approval from the FCC before they are sold in the market. The approval process involves ensuring that the devices are only operating at the advertising frequencies, are not interfering with other devices, and are not causing any harm to the users. > Smartphone companies usually advertise their smartphones ad a later stage. Still, Google has taken a different direction as it has been some time since the company has been heavily advertising the Pixel 6 series. Everything ranging from television ads to billboards, placing the phones in the company's store in NYC, and releasing 10,000 packets of Pixel-branded potato chips. All of this before the devices even got the FCC approval.
