Galaxy S24 could skip satellite connectivity despite having the hardware for it
Recent reports out of South Korea suggest that Samsung has decided against including satellite communication in the Galaxy S24 series, despite earlier indications that the feature would be available. The phones have been sent to three networks in South Korea for testing, and it has been observed that there is no satellite connectivity option on the device.
