The latest Vivo X100 Pro+ is reportedly undergoing testing for satellite communication capabilities. While the Vivo X100 series made its debut in November with the Vivo X100 and Vivo X100 Pro, the Pro+ variant, equipped with satellite communication, is yet to be officially announced.

After Huawei and Oppo, Vivo is also working on satellite communication

Vivo is actively experimenting with satellite communication functionality. This move aligns with the trend set by Huawei, whose flagship phones like the Huawei Mate 60 Pro have already integrated satellite communication features.

oNotably, the OPPO Find X7 series has officially declared its support for satellite communication technology. The president of the Honor product line has hinted at satellite communication support in the upcoming flagship, expected to debut with the Magic 6. Xiaomi, too, has been rumored to be testing satellite communication capabilities. Although, it is unknown whether the Xiaomi 14 Ultra will pack this feature.

It’s not only mainstream phone brands delving into this innovative space. In November, China Telecom introduced the Tianyi Bolton S9, a 5G satellite dual-mode communication phone priced at 4599 yuan (~$650). This device comes equipped with a built-in satellite antenna, adopting the conventional phone form factor without the need to change SIM cards or numbers. The Tianyi Bolton S9 integrates China’s self-developed Tiantong satellite mobile communication system, supporting two-way Tiantong satellite voice communication and ensuring uninterrupted nationwide communication.

Vivo‘s move to test satellite communication in the X100 Pro+ suggests a growing interest for this feature among both manufacturers and consumers. With various players in the industry actively exploring this technology, it is expected to become a standard feature in mobile devices in the near future.
