Many android phones to get satellite connectivity

I call Bull(sh)itt 😎

Think someone at Bullitt might be getting slightly ahead of themselves 😂

...their service launches in February, yet Apple' emergency SOS via satellite service has been working in the UK since mid-December and in the US since mid November.

 
Yeah I wondered about that too, their (bbc) own article links to another one that says February so I didn't get that at all, unless the linked article was out of date.

BBC article confuses as usual. Bullit make tough phones and provides a Bullit Connect using Skylo and the Inmarsat constellation of satellites. Bullit may suffer from widespread Android take-up.
This is Iridium ensuring compatibility of their satellite network compatibility with new Qualcomm chips. They have only 60 satellites North to South

Satellite networks all have pros and cons and we await 4g via satellites.

The Verge article might be an easier read:

Indeed or Mark's article on the front page to be fair...

 
Just saw the Cat S75 come up on Facebook.





 
MEDIATEK DIMENSITY D930 OCTA-CORE 2.2GHZ / ANDROID 12

What are we on now, Android 13?
The Vivo Y77 China has the same chipset and 6GB RAM 128GB ROM is the base model if you look at GSMArena, they could have thrown 12GB RAM and 256GB ROM in the CAT S75, the chipset supports it.

Would I pay £549 for this, probably not.

Though the Motorola Defy Satellite Link looks worth it:
