It was somehow expected that Samsung would be in line Galaxy The S23 will add a satellite connection for emergency communications. However, when it officially announced the new phones, there was no mention of satellite connectivity, even though the phones are equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset that supports this communication.
In an interview for CNET but CEO of Samsung TM Roh talked about the satellite connection. When asked why the new flagships Galaxy they don't have this feature yet, he replied: "When the timing is right, the infrastructure and technology are ready, then of course we will also actively consider adopting this feature." In fact, according to him, "doesn't appear to be the final and only solution to ensure user peace of mind."

At least the chipset is already ready. The company has even partnered with Iridium to access its weather-proof L-band spectrum through that constellation of satellites. However, this feature won't launch until the second half of 2023. Additionally, Qualcomm said that not all Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 devices can actually use this feature.

This is because smartphones require special hardware to access a satellite connection, and so on Galaxy It is said that the S23 may or may not have this required hardware. Additionally, it is confirmed that this feature cannot be activated through software alone. To top it all off, Google do Androidu has not added native support for this feature and it will not be introduced until s Androidem 14. It is therefore possible that Galaxy The S23 doesn't have this feature simply because it can't.

So be that as it may, the series smartphones Galaxy The S23 won't be able to compete with the iPhone 14 series in this regard. Apple he has already shown with them that it is possible and that it works. It also plans to bring the possibilities of this connectivity to more and more markets. If we take into account that Samsung will not bring satellite connection until the beginning of 2024 at the earliest from the series Galaxy S24, unfortunately, may give Apple enough room to get away with it properly. Catching up will certainly be difficult.
I will try to ask here, what speed does the S23 6,1″ charge wirelessly? 15W is mentioned on Czech websites, and the same value is mentioned by merchants in pre-orders, but for example gsmarena mentions 10W elsewhere. So I really don't know, is it such a problem to state it correctly? I can't believe they would lower it..
It's a very good question, and frankly, we're a bit of a stew about it too. The official press materials are completely silent on this, so we will have to wait a little longer before we find out how it really is.
It's 15W if you were able to find it 🤦🤦🤦
Thanks anyway.. 🙂
For Jirko - yes, you can find it, but it is stated differently on each website, so what to believe? 😀 As written by Mr. Kos - the official website is silent. I am surprised that gsmarena also has 10W listed..
