Snapdragon Satellite is coming to Android phones later this year
for a legion of satellite-based two-way-messaging-capable Android phones in 2023 and beyond.
There may still be vast swaths of earth that aren't covered by cell signals, but as I glanced at my phone, I found, even though I couldn't spot a cell tower, I still had strong 5G.Though Qualcomm and, by extension, Android phones will be late to the consumer-grade Satellite communications party, Qualcomm is coming at it from a different direction.
Instead of using the system when you're in trouble and without Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity, Qualcomm's Snapdragon Satellite is a use-anywhere, anytime system. Like Apple's SOS via Satellite solution Snapdragon Satellite does not need a special external antenna to work. Qualcomm told us that a different antenna might improve performance, but a mid-band one would work just fine. The key is that the antenna is built into the top of the phone so it's easy to point it at a nearby satellite.
