While we are still months away from the Samsung Galaxy S24 series launch, new rumors and leaks have been surfacing online. This time, the latest report hints at a notable new feature being added to the company’s flagship lineup, which is satellite connectivity.
Samsung finally brings satellite connectivity
For those unaware, the satellite connectivity feature was missing on the existing Galaxy S23 lineup, despite the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset supporting the feature. Meanwhile, Apple brought this feature to the iPhone 14 series last year. Now, it appears that the South Korean tech giant is finally catching up with the Galaxy S24, which will offer a two-way satellite connection.
The news arrives from a Yonhap News report that interviewed Lee Jong-ho, Minister of Science and ICT in South Korea. The Minister claimed that domestic smartphone brands are gearing up to launch a service that brings data transmission between 5G phones and satellites in 2024. Since Samsung is the biggest mobile brand in the region, this statement likely hints at its future plans for the 2024 flagship phone lineup.

According to Samsung, the satellite connectivity feature was skipped since the satellite ecosystem and surrounding technologies weren’t mature enough back then. So the brand decided to wait for the technology to improve before rolling out the feature. For this, it has even collaborated with Iridium Communications, which has a series of low-earth orbit satellites built specifically for emergency communications. As of right now, Huawei is the only brand to offer satellite connectivity on the Android platform, but Samsung might not be too far behind.
