Overview
- Reporting indicates Samsung intends to offer full satellite voice calling on the Galaxy S26 rather than limiting the feature to emergency texts.
- Samsung says its Exynos Modem 5410 supports non‑terrestrial networks and 5G under 3GPP Release 17 with NR dual connectivity across FR1 and FR2 up to 14.79Gbps.
- The company highlights a 4nm EUV process aimed at lowering standby power for satellite connections.
- Leaked details suggest the modem integrates LTE Direct‑to‑Cell, NB‑IoT NTN, and NR NTN to cover voice, low‑bandwidth telemetry, and higher‑rate data.
- Availability is uncertain, as Samsung has not announced which carriers, regions, models, or pricing tiers will support satellite calling.
