Samsung is now expected to follow Apple's example by bringing satellite communications to their smartphones, according to GSM Arena.Samsung is also working with Iridium, a 66-strong Low Earth orbit satellite constellation that provides voice and data services, to provide emergency alerts on the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models, which is available through a globalstar alliance.According to GSM Arena, the company finally managed to do so because with the launch of the Galaxy S23 family, rumors and reports state that users will be able to send text messages and small images (in the hundreds of kbps) via satellite, particularly in regions where infrastructure isn't yet mature.Despite the fact that the land area in Korea is small and its well covered by 5G networks, Samsung doesn't expect this feature to succeed.
