Samsung Galaxy S24 Series to Launch Without Satellite Connectivity, Renders Leaked

The information about the Samsung Galaxy S24 series is increasing for all the right reasons. The phones will be unveiled on January 17, next month, and we are learning more about what they will offer on a daily basis. The current news, on the other hand, may not be popular with everyone.

Samsung Galaxy S24 May Opt Out Of Satellite Connectivity

It looks like Samsung is abandoning the concept of bringing satellite connectivity to the Galaxy S24 series, which is unfortunate because One UI 6.1 currently has traces of the capability available, but Samsung has decided against it based on information coming out of South Korea.

According to reports, Samsung has submitted a Galaxy S24 Ultra to three South Korean networks. You have KT, LG Uplus, and SK Telecom to choose from. The phone is contained in a lunchbox-shaped cover to avoid leaks, as is normal procedure for many major smartphone makers, but the sites are now saying that the phone does not have a satellite connectivity option anywhere on the device.

WCCFTech suggested that the Samsung Galaxy S24 series lacks satellite connectivity, primarily because the device could be running software that is not yet ready for primetime, and Samsung will ship the feature in the final build of the software. However, the corporation may have opted to discontinue the feature entirely, which may annoy some people.

Satellite connectivity is not a must-have feature for every smartphone, but given how nearly everyone has elected to include it, it is disconcerting to see Samsung not include it in the first place on the Galaxy S24 series. As for the actual truth or scenario, we won't know what it's like until the Galaxy S24 series becomes public on January 17.

More Samsung Galaxy S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra Renders Released.

Meanwhile, almost everything about it has already leaked, including specifications, colors, and European pricing. Arsene Lupin, an X user, shared further renders of the three as the latest leak.

The new smartphones will have the same general footprint and design as their predecessors. The new chipsets will enable AI features and improved picture processing, making the difference. Larger vapor chambers should also be included in the trio. They should increase cooling, resulting in superior long-term performance.
