Xiaomi, Oppo, Alive, Motorola, Nothing and Honor will be some of the first companies to bring satellite communication capabilities to their phones, according to an announcement made by Qualcomm. Within the framework of the Mobile World Congress of Barcelona, the company said that it will provide the technology for this new type of connection. However, the companies did not advance which will be their first devices to have this, nor when they will arrive.

Qualcomm showed off its Snapdragon Satellite technology for the first time at CES last month. With this you can give smartphones the ability to text and receive texts in emergencies using satellites. To put it in simple language, this would be useful if you are on a desert island to send an SMS, but it is not that you can start watching YouTube.
The company said the service will be available on multiple models in 8- and 4-processor configurations. “By incorporating Snapdragon Satellite technology into next-gen devices, our partners will be able to offer satellite messaging thanks to the mature and commercially available LEO constellation, which allows subscribers around the world to communicate outside with emergency service providers, as well as with family and friends”said the vice president of the company Francesco Grilli.

Satellite emergency communication capabilities kicked off with the iPhone 14 in countries like the United States and Canada, later expanding to France, Germany, Ireland and others. For its part, Samsung developed similar technology.
Other Qualcomm projects include a plan with the US telecommunications company Verizon and Razer to create an ecosystem gamer on device Razer Edge 5G. This will be a portable console with the operating system Android that will allow you to play video games provided via the cloud.
