FCC filings showed multiple Pixel 9-series models with Thread and UWB support.

Did it turn out to be true?

Partly right. Some of this was right and some of it was not. It was reported on Jul 12, 2024 in 9to5Google, and we could not tell who reported it first. That was 32 days before Google Pixel 9 was announced on Aug 13, 2024. Google confirms UWB on multiple Pixel 9 Pro-family models, but its first-party Pixel 9-generation hardware specifications do not publish Thread support. The UWB portion is supported; the Thread portion remains unresolved.
