Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S26 series, expected in early 2026, may feature satellite-based voice and video calling. This capability, potentially enabled by the new Exynos 2600 chip with a next-gen modem supporting non-terrestrial networks (NTN), would allow users to make emergency calls even without cellular service. This move would bring Samsung's connectivity features closer to those offered by Apple, requiring a partnership with a satellite provider and possibly involving subscription fees or usage limits.
