Google Pixel 9 to Feature Satellite Connectivity with Emergency SOS Capabilities

The upcoming Google Pixel 9 series will integrate satellite SOS features, enhancing safety for users in remote areas without cell service.

Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro are expected to support satellite-based emergency communication features, similar to those found in recent iPhone models.
The new Samsung Exynos 5400 modem in the Pixel 9 series will enable this functionality, offering users the ability to send texts to emergency services via satellite.
A user interface leak reveals that the Pixel 9 will guide users on how to connect to satellites, ensuring reliable emergency communication.
Google plans to initially partner with T-Mobile for the satellite connectivity service, with potential expansion to other providers.
The feature is part of Google's broader push to enhance the safety and connectivity of its devices, with the Pixel Fold 2 and a new 5G tablet also expected to have similar capabilities.
