Sixty-six satellites will probably soon be requested by Samsung to develop a functionality ofconnectivity ignoring white areas andfor its next premium smartphones. It isETNewswhich affirms this in a new article, the media often being well informed of the future plans of the best mobile brands. For the occasion, the chaebol decided to enter into a partnership withIridium.
The company specializes in low-orbit mesh, as Globalstar also offers. The latter, however, is collaborating with Apple to offer a similar solution on the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Users who do not have a network can use it to contact the emergency services in the event of an accident. Soon, evenFrench customers will be able to benefit from it for free. In any case, for the moment, because within two years, we will have to pay.
Apple, a good example of success
If Samsung does indeed offer satellite connectivity on its mobile phones, it will not be the first Android manufacturer of its kind in any case. In fact, it isHuaweiwhich initiated the movement last September, just a few hours before the presentation of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro. But in Seoul, we would like to go even further than the competition.
Indeed, according to rumors shared byETNews, Samsung would like to be able to offersending more substantial text messages and especially quite heavy images. At Apple, it is already possible to write but only to communicate with emergency services. It is assumed that with the photos, his rival wishes either to enable him to communicate with his loved ones or to offer more details to the security teams to better understand the problem before arriving at the scene of a tragedy.
What else is under the hood?
Unfortunately, it seems that the Galaxy S23s from Samsung will in fact bevery close to their predecessorsin terms of value proposition. So, nothing would change in terms of autonomy or software. THEperformanceswould on the other hand indeed be increased, but this is a minimum. On the Ultra model, which is the most expensive, the photo sensor would also be improved. See you next year to find out for sure.
