Pixel 3 may be first smartphone with CBRS spectrum, says BTIG Google's (GOOG, GOOGL) Pixel 3 could be the first smartphone enabled with Citizens Broadband Radio Service spectrum, BTIG analyst Walter Piecyk tells investors in a research note. Pixel 3 launched exclusively with Verizon (VZ) three months ago and at launch, it included Band 42, which includes a portion of the spectrum used for CBRS, says the analyst. Further, he points out that Google requested that the Federal Communications Commission allow it to activate CBRS/Band 48 in the Pixel 3 through a software upgrade. It is unclear if Apple (AAPL) could upgrade its iPhones to CBRS with a software upgrade, like Google, Piecyk contends. - 01/09/19
