The chip uses a 60 GHz ISM band which is not listed for commercial use in India as per National Frequency Allocation Plan (NFAP). The company said in a statement it decided to not launch the phone in India based on various factors: The Soli chip enables various features on the device including face unlock and gestures. Without the sensor, those key features might not work as intended. This means people in India will have to wait and see if Google releases the Pixel 4a, a cheaper variant of the flagship, to experience the phone’s camera.
