Following suit, Samsung is also preparing to unveil its own satellite messaging solution. Meanwhile, Google has its plans to offer satellite SMS support for all phones running Android 14, contingent on having compatible hardware. Initially, the feature will be made available to Samsung and Pixel phones, with a subsequent rollout to other Android devices.
While the exact extent of Android 14’s satellite messaging capabilities remains uncertain, it’s worth noting that not all Android phone manufacturers may adopt this feature, despite running the latest Android version.

Additionally, there are rumors that the Google Pixel 8 phones will be equipped with the company’s custom Tensor G3 chipset, supplied by TSMC instead of Samsung.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
