Samsung CEO confirmed the satellite communication technology of the Galaxy S24 series

Samsung LSI System President Park Yong-in confirmed that Galaxy phones will support satellite communication services for emergency calls starting next year. With these explanations, the Samsung Galaxy S24 series that will arrive in early 2024 will be equipped with satellite communication capabilities.

Apple and Huawei are among the leading companies in the field of developing devices with the ability to connect to satellites and establish satellite communication for emergency situations. Although the last two generations of iPhones are equipped with such a feature and support it, Samsung has not yet equipped its devices with such a feature. Now it seems that with the arrival of the new series of Galaxy phones, Samsung users can also benefit from satellite connection in their devices.

Samsung equips the new Galaxy series phones with satellite communication

During the 2023 SEDEX exhibition event, Park Yong, one of Samsung’s executive directors, announced that the company’s new generation of Galaxy phones will be equipped with satellite communication technology. This could also be related to the Exynos 5300 modem supporting two-way satellite communications. Of course, various news have been published about the release of Galaxy S24 Ultra with Snapdragon 8 generation 3 processor and the use of two Snapdragon 8 generation 3 or Exynos 2400 chips in Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus. It remains to be seen how the Snapdragon chips support the satellite communication feature
