There was speculation that Samsung could use smartphone-to-satellite technology with the Galaxy S23, as Apple did with the iPhone 14, but it ultimately never materialized.Now the company announced A new standardized 5G NTN (non-terrestrial network) modem that enables two-way communication between smartphones and satellites. The technology will allow users to make and receive calls, text his messages and data without the need for a cellular network and will be integrated into Samsung’s future Exynos chip.
Its purpose is to enable people in mountains, deserts, or other remote areas to communicate with others in critical situations. 5G NTN complies with the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP Release 17) standards. That means working with traditional communication services from chip makers, smartphone makers, and telecoms.

However, Samsung has indicated that the technology could eventually be used to send high-definition photos and videos in addition to texts and calls. The technology was simulated using the Exynos Modem 5300 platform to “accurately predict satellite positions and minimize frequency offsets caused by Doppler shifts,” the company said. This will help pave the way for a hybrid network of terrestrial and his NTN “preparing for the arrival of 6G,” said Samsung vice president Min Goo Kim.
At CES 2023, Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon Satellite. This is a technology that allows smartphones to send messages when no cellular signal is available. Works on smartphones with both Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and X70 modem system, plus some extra radios. Samsung’s Galaxy S23 has both chips, so it was thought that the device could offer satellite communications technology comparable to his Apple’s iPhone 14.
However, VP TM Roh of Samsung Mobile Experience said it’s not the best moment as the satellite capabilities are still quite limited. “Once the right timing, infrastructure and technology are ready, of course we will actively consider adopting this feature for Samsung Galaxy and the mobile division,” he said.
