Samsung appears poised to join the space race for smartphone connectivity, newly leaked screenshots, the upcoming Galaxy S24 lineup will enable “Emergency Messages via Satellite” transmission. This hints at a potential breakthrough feature bringing satellite comms to Samsung’s premium phones.
The leaked images explicitly state the Galaxy S24 series will allow emergency satellite messaging “if the user is in an area without network coverage.” By tapping into orbital networks, users could summon critical aid when lost beyond terrestrial signal range.
Samsung would not be alone in providing satellite fallback connectivity, Huawei already enable text and voice relay via satellite on select models. Most prominently, Apple introduced satellite SOS messaging for iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 models.
But Samsung boarding the off-planet connectivity train would mark a significant expansion of satellite safety nets. As the predominant Korean smartphone maker, an integrated messaging upgrade could impact countless future Galaxy owners.
Indeed, Korea’s ICT Minister Lee Sang-ho recently predicted domestic brands launching two-way phone satellite links as soon as 2024. With Samsung standing as Korea’s signature mobile powerhouse, Minister Lee’s remarks strongly hint at an impending Galaxy satellite debut.
Industry sources reinforce this satellite trajectory. Samsung System LSI CEO Park Yong-in himself confirmed plans to “support satellite services for emergency communication” in Galaxy devices “starting next year.”
Of course, full live voice calls may remain elusive due to extreme technological constraints, even barebones text relay capacity could prove lifesaving for Galaxy users caught off the grid. By contracting entire orbiting networks to augment messages globally, Samsung buys insurance for emergencies worldwide.
With the Galaxy S24 likely launching in early 2024, leaked images indicating satellite connectivity align with insider tips of the feature’s rollout. So get ready for Galaxy phones to harness signals from the stars alongside traditional cellular towers.
Emergency contacts may soon receive your frantic yet fateful texts from the farthest satellite frontiers, Korea’s tech ambitions symbolized by Samsung may rocket to astronomical new heights thanks to off-planet communications.
