Hi, this is Technologytodaynow. With the news that Samsung Electronics’ top smartphone model, the Galaxy S25, which is expected to be released next year, will have satellite communication capabilities, it is attracting many people’s attention. IT news outlet Android Authority reported on Monday that it found strings in the APK files of Samsung’s emergency SOS app, phone app, and messaging app that suggest satellite connectivity.

IT 매체인 안드로이드오쏘리티의 보도 내용을 정리하면, 갤럭시 S25에는 긴급 상황에서 SOS 앱을 사용할 때, 서비스가 없거나 모바일 네트워크에 접속할 수 없는 경우를 대비하여 위성을 통해 긴급 메시지를 전송할 수 있는 기능이 지원된다고 합니다.




However, it appears that you need to set Google Messages as your default messaging app to use this feature. And when using the Samsung Phone app, it includes the ability to send emergency text messages, including 911, using satellite mode, and to connect emergency calls if there is a mobile network nearby. This has been confirmed in version 15.500.14 of the Emergency SOS app, version 15.5.10.39 of the Samsung Messages app, and version 15.2.80 of the Samsung Phone app.



Background of Samsung’s introduction of satellite communication function



After Apple supported emergency SOS satellite connectivity on the iPhone 14 series, Samsung was expected to apply the feature to Galaxy phones, but this feature has not yet been applied to the Galaxy S24 series released this year.
Samsung says the Exynos 2400 chipset in the Luxi S24 series supports satellite connectivity, but the company will decide whether to include the technology based on consumer demand.



Possibility of Galaxy S25 satellite communication capability



IT 매체 샘모바일이 전한 바에 따르면, 삼성은 아직 위성통신 연결 기능을 포기하지 않고 있으며, 이 기능을 내년에 출시될 갤럭시 S25 가능성이 있습니다. 이 소식은 갤럭시 S25가 위성통신 기능을 탑재한 첫 번째 삼성 스마트폰이 될 수 있다는 가능성을 시사합니다. 그리고 갤럭시 S24의 엑시노스2400도 위성통신연결 기능을 지원하기 때문에, 이로 인해 위성 긴급메세지 기능이 추후 업데이트될 가능성을 기대해 볼 수 있습니다.
