Google Pixel 9 series will support emergency satellite communications, leading a new trend in mobile communications

Recently, consumer news about Google Pixel 9 series mobile phones has attracted widespread attention. According to internal disclosures from Google, this upcoming mobile phone will support emergency satellite communication functions. The realization of this function benefits from the powerful performance of Samsung Modem 5400. At the same time, the highly anticipated Pixel Fold and new 5G tablets are also expected to be equipped with this modem, providing users with a wider range of communication options.

In the previous second developer preview of Android 15, Google has demonstrated further support for the satellite connection feature, allowing the sending of information over the satellite connection and receive. This innovative feature significantly increases the communication capabilities of security devices.

Recently, some netizens shared the interface of satellite messaging in Android 15 and how to operate it. As can be seen from the demonstration image, when using the satellite communication function, the user needs to point the mobile phone at the satellite, and the system will assist the user in aiming through the user interface. This process is displayed in full-screen mode, and users can also minimize it if needed, but the key is to keep the satellite icon within the designated circle to ensure the stability of communication connectivity.

In addition to being used in emergencies, this feature is designed to be used only in emergencies and is named "Emergency SOS". It also needs to be supported by operators, such as T-Mobile, so that it can communicate even if there is no base station signal.

So far, there are many mobile devices supporting satellite communication functions, including Huawei Mate 50 series, Mate 60 series, Mate Xs 2, Mate X3, Mate X5, P60 series, Pocket 2, nova 11 Ultra , nova 12 Pro/Ultra, Honor’s Magic 6 Pro/Extreme Edition/RSR Porsche Design, Xiaomi’s 14 Ultra, 14 Pro Silver Metallic “Satellite Communications” version, OPPO’s Find X7 Ultra Satellite Communications Edition, and ZTE’s Axon 60 Ultra. Apple's iPhone 14 and 15 series also support this feature, but it is currently limited to North America and some European countries.
