Overview
- Samsung’s Exynos Modem 5410 is confirmed to support 3GPP Release 17 with 5G NR dual connectivity across FR1 and FR2 and peak downloads up to 14.79Gbps.
- The chip integrates LTE Direct-to-Cell for voice, NB‑IoT NTN for texts and location, and NR NTN for higher‑throughput use cases such as potential future video calling.
- Reports link the modem to select Exynos 2600 variants of the Galaxy S26 lineup, which is widely expected to debut in February 2026.
- A new report indicates Galaxy S26 Ultra models using Snapdragon silicon are unlikely to offer native satellite voice, suggesting a limited feature rollout that may favor Exynos regions such as South Korea.
- Real‑world availability depends on carrier and satellite‑operator partnerships, regulatory approvals, pricing decisions, and independent testing of power and thermal performance.
