Iridium is a company that puts satellites into a low-Earth orbit so they can be used for standard two-way communication.  As in, you can use a sat phone (more on that later) to call or text anyone else with a phone anywhere and any time as long as the antenna has a clear view of the sky.<\/p>\n<p>They have partnered with Qualcomm to build the functionality into Snapdragon chips as part of the Snapdragon Connect program.  This is a lot better for consumers than one phone company making a phone that can use a satellite service or relay like Apple offers with the newest iPhone.  It&#8217;s also going to be a lot more expensive to use.<\/p>\n<p>The idea is that the ability is there on the chip \u2014 right now only the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 but expect to see it on all future high-end Snapdragon chips, too.  If a phone maker doesn&#8217;t want to use it, it&#8217;s just there doing nothing costing consumers nothing outside of any small price increase of the chip because of it.<\/p>\n<p>If the phone maker \u2014 Samsung is already on board, &#8216;natch \u2014 does want to use it, it still just sits there doing nothing until we want to use it.  It will probably sip away a tiny bit of battery while not in use but not enough for anyone to even notice.  Basically, it&#8217;s just there taking space inside the phone and doing nothing.<\/p>\n<p>When we do want to use it is where things get interesting. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You are the sat phone user so you would need to make sure you can see the sky.<\/li>\n<li>Type out your message using the same app you normally use (what a plus!)<\/li>\n<li>Point the phone towards the sky to send it out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And that&#8217;s it.  You can text anyone because Iridium has the tech to take what you send through a satellite and convert it into something that can be sent like any other text to anyone with a device that can receive it.  There will probably be some sort of alignment screen to help you point the phone in the best direction, but you won&#8217;t have to sit and wait very long for any of this to happen. <\/p>\n<p>It sounds awesome and like something we&#8217;re all itching to use but there are two big drawbacks \u2014 it won&#8217;t be cheap and using a sat phone kind of sucks.  It&#8217;s not a viable replacement for your regular phone carrier but it wasn&#8217;t meant to be.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Texting on a sat phone hits different.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The first issue (and the biggest for most of us) is the pricing and we just don&#8217;t know how any of it will work.  That&#8217;s not something Qualcomm will be involved in and it&#8217;s strictly between the phone maker, Iridium, and you.  And that&#8217;s the way it should be.  The chip maker just gives the ability for it to work.<\/p>\n<p>I expect that we&#8217;ll see bundles for <em>XX<\/em> number of messages for a nominal fee, say $20 per month.  If you go over, you pay through the nose, just like things used to be with your phone carrier.  There will probably be several different packages and I expect to see plenty of free trial periods as a perk for buying an expensive new phone.  Only time will tell.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:3840px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" alt=\"Google Messages RCS Chat features on a Pixel 6\" class=\" lazy-image-van\" onerror=\"if(this.src &amp;&amp; this.src.indexOf('missing-image.svg') !== -1){return true;};this.parentNode.replaceChild(window.missingImage(),this)\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/vanilla.futurecdn.net\/androidcentral\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fyQgKdrsP97Hqn6oF2RoHg-320-80.jpg.webp 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fyQgKdrsP97Hqn6oF2RoHg-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fyQgKdrsP97Hqn6oF2RoHg-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fyQgKdrsP97Hqn6oF2RoHg-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fyQgKdrsP97Hqn6oF2RoHg-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fyQgKdrsP97Hqn6oF2RoHg-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fyQgKdrsP97Hqn6oF2RoHg.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fyQgKdrsP97Hqn6oF2RoHg.jpg\"\/><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" alt=\"Google Messages RCS Chat features on a Pixel 6\" class=\" lazy-image-van\" onerror=\"if(this.src &amp;&amp; this.src.indexOf('missing-image.svg') !== -1){return true;};this.parentNode.replaceChild(window.missingImage(),this)\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/vanilla.futurecdn.net\/androidcentral\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fyQgKdrsP97Hqn6oF2RoHg-320-80.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fyQgKdrsP97Hqn6oF2RoHg-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fyQgKdrsP97Hqn6oF2RoHg-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fyQgKdrsP97Hqn6oF2RoHg-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fyQgKdrsP97Hqn6oF2RoHg-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fyQgKdrsP97Hqn6oF2RoHg-1200-80.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fyQgKdrsP97Hqn6oF2RoHg.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fyQgKdrsP97Hqn6oF2RoHg.jpg\"\/><img alt=\"Google Messages RCS Chat features on a Pixel 6\" class=\" lazy-image-van\" onerror=\"if(this.src &amp;&amp; this.src.indexOf('missing-image.svg') !== -1){return true;};this.parentNode.replaceChild(window.missingImage(),this)\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/vanilla.futurecdn.net\/androidcentral\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fyQgKdrsP97Hqn6oF2RoHg-320-80.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fyQgKdrsP97Hqn6oF2RoHg-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fyQgKdrsP97Hqn6oF2RoHg-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fyQgKdrsP97Hqn6oF2RoHg-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fyQgKdrsP97Hqn6oF2RoHg-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fyQgKdrsP97Hqn6oF2RoHg-1200-80.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fyQgKdrsP97Hqn6oF2RoHg.jpg?ssl=1\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fyQgKdrsP97Hqn6oF2RoHg.jpg?ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Namerah Saud Fatmi \/ Android Central)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The other drawback is also going to make sure you never ever want to use satellite connectivity as your only way to text.  It&#8217;s not a great experience.  I know it&#8217;s not a great experience because I&#8217;ve had to do it.<\/p>\n<p>Right now everyone else who has used a sat phone is probably nodding in agreement with me.  There is a noticeable lag between the time you send anything and the time the other party receives it, and vice-versa.  You can&#8217;t solve this with hardware or external antennas and in some cases it makes a voice call almost impossible so I&#8217;m not sad that there is no sat voice coverage being offered. <\/p>\n<p>Messaging is better but forget about things like seeing someone typing to respond or getting an instant notification that you&#8217;re message was seen because it isn&#8217;t happening.  You type, point at the sky to send, and wait a few minutes so you can point at the sky to check for a reply.  I&#8217;m sure there have been advancements made since I last used a 2-way sat phone but most of this is just how it has to work.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The good outweighs everything bad.  You want this.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Enough negativity though because this is an awesome addition to any smartphone.  It means you are never in a situation where you&#8217;re isolated as long as you have a charged battery.  The feature is only coming to phones built for North America and Europe right now but it will work everywhere \u2014 it will work in the Sahara Desert, it will work on the Pacific Ocean, it will work at the South Pole.  I&#8217;m really hoping the US-unlocked Galaxy S23 has worldwide LTE and 5G bands and this new feature because it would be the phone that everyone should buy.<\/p>\n<p>Having the ability to reach out for help via satellite was the iPhone&#8217;s best addition.  Being able to use your Android phone to let the people at home know you don&#8217;t need any help and want to say hello is even better. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function()\n{n.callMethod? n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)}\n;if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '1765793593738454');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remember the announcement of Snapdragon Connect?
