One of the biggest changes to come to phones in recent years is the addition of satellite connectivity — letting users stay in touch, or call for help, even when there’s no cell service. Samsung Galaxy S25 was rumored to add this feature, though Samsung has stayed quiet on the matter. Turns out the phone does support satellite connectivity, but there is a big catch.
According to satellite and telecoms consultant Christian Frhr. von der Ropp (via Android Police), Samsung hasn’t been collaborating with satellite connectivity providers — despite equipping the new flagship with all the necessary hardware. This means that it’s up to your mobile provider to make those partnerships and enable satellite connectivity.
