Come off, any flat earther knows that the satellite com is but an extra terrestrial network with a few balloons here or there. That means you should not put your money on satellite anything. Please do not argue with me. Thank you me for I am giving you a solid advice. If you think there are satellites, use a phone claiming sat nav and test it out over the ocean somewhere. Enjoy.

    A big question is, how many of you are ready to pay a monthly subscription for it?

    Now you understand. Now you're ready to skip this topic for few years.

This feature in Android is not necessarily dead for now, but could be implemented without Iridium.

        That would be sad if S24 series are released without this feature.

          Oh and also, Huawei also uses Snapdragon chipsets.

                      Anonymous, 10 Nov 2023starlink is overpriced i can wait for cheaper competitorsThe T-Mobile/Starlink deal is supposed to be available to regular T-Mobile customers at no extra charge, including data services once that rolls out. Hard to beat that.

                        Lol. Time to find another partner to satellite it within 5 years.

                                      Crying begins in 3, 2, 1...

                                        Since i am no fan of going to unknown places where one can easily lost like Hymalayas or Alaska and other mountains this does not matter much.
                                        Huawei will have it anyway, apple have it and others who needs this tech will buy either Apple or a lot better Huawei.
