The Android 15-based interface, on the other hand, seems to have to rely on Google for functionality.
More and more mobile manufacturers are starting to offer different forms of communication via satellite, and it seems that even Samsung will do so in the upcoming Android 15-based version of its interface One UI 7. However, the functions seem to come with a catch.
It is the publication Android Authority which has discovered software code in some of Samsung’s apps points to the upcoming functionality.
In Samsung’s Emergency SOS version 15.5.00.14, for example, there is information that if you call the emergency services when you are out of range or not connected to a mobile network, you are connected via satellite to be able to send an emergency message. Even the phone app version 15.2.80 itself has references to being able to send messages via satellite.
However, it is the messaging app Samsung Messages version 15.5.10.39 that contains the most interesting catch in the context. Namely, it informs that Samsung users must use Google Messages as the default for satellite SMS and Samsung Messages does not support the feature, at least not initially. Not illogical since it is Google that builds the functionality into Androd 15, but it remains to be seen to what extent Samsung will be able to use them in its own apps.
