Another new feature that came to mobile phones during the year was satellite communication.. The first brands to use this feature were Huawei and Apple. According to a recent report by SamMobile, the Samsung Galaxy S23 series will support satellite communication. An unexpected function, but very important today.
A very important announcement for the future of Android
Samsung Galaxy S23 will be the first 5G flagship phone to support satellite communications in the Android space. Previously, Huawei’s Mate 50 series and Apple’s iPhone 14 series already used this feature. The working principle of the technology is to transmit the user’s emergency information to the facilities on the ground via satellite, enabling the user to communicate with the outside world.
The Samsung Galaxy S23 series, which will go on sale next February, will also support this feature. It’s important to note that a satellite connection is slower than mobile calls and text messages. This is because the signal has to travel a much longer distance.. Also, there are reports that the satellite communication feature may not even work for calls. Most users can only send text messages in an emergency.
An emergency system… Just in case!
Users will also need a direct view of the sky for the fastest connection. If there is no direct view of the sky, it will take longer. Under ideal conditions, such as a direct view of the sky and horizon, satellite transmission typically takes about 15 seconds. Delays may exceed one minute due to factors such as terrain conditions such as trees, hills, mountains, canyons. All of them can interfere with the connection. Like this, it is basically an emergency backup system.
The Samsung Galaxy S23 series is equipped with an overclocked version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 with a 3.36 GHz CPU, which is even better than the regular version, as well as supporting satellite communication. This series will be officially released on February 1st..
