Like the latest generation of iPhones, several high-end Android smartphones to be released this year will have the ability to send messages – emergency or otherwise – via a satellite connection, no matter where they are in the world.

In the fall of 2022, the iPhone 14 introduced satellite connectivity for emergency use only in areas not covered by a cellular network. During the course of 2023, several Android smartphones will be able to do the same, and even a little more.
