Are you using Xfinity Mobile on a Pixel phone? If so, a hidden upgrade might soon give your home Wi‑Fi a rocket boost.
Android Authority recently uncovered hints in the latest Adaptive Connectivity Service app that Google may be gearing up to bring Xfinity’s “Speed Boost” to Pixel devices. According to the publication, this appears to be an expansion of the current Wi‑Fi PowerBoost perk, which already lets iPhone and Samsung users speed past their regular home internet limits at no extra cost.
Here’s how it works: if your phone is running Xfinity Mobile and connects to an Xfinity‑powered router, your Wi‑Fi speed might bump up to as high as 1 Gbps—even when your internet plan doesn’t normally support that. It’s automatic, and available both at home and at public Xfinity hotspots.
Right now, only iPhones (12 and newer with iOS 18+) and select Samsung models can use PowerBoost. That could soon change. Hidden settings in Google's app suggest Pixel phones might join the party soon .
To be clear, this is based on an “APK teardown”—a look inside the Android system files, not a public launch—so things might shift before anything official. But it’s a clear signal that Xfinity is working to broaden compatibility beyond its current smartphone lineup. For users, that could mean big perks: faster downloads for streaming or large file transfers, better video calls, and smoother web browsing—all with the same home Wi‑Fi.
We’ll be watching closely for word from Xfinity or Google about when (and if) Pixel owners get included. And if you’re an Xfinity Mobile subscriber and own a Pixel, keep an eye on your Adaptive Connectivity Service app—an update could flip the switch on this super‑fast Wi‑Fi boost before you know it.
