Qualcomm Snapdragon Satellite first look at CES 2023

Correction: Apple's Emergency SOS service is text, not call-based. Apologies for the error.

Last year, Apple introduced Emergency SOS, which allows the iPhone 14 to connect to satellites to send emergency texts. Now, Qualcomm has unveiled its own satellite messaging features for Android phones. It’s called Snapdragon Satellite, and it will allow devices equipped with the company’s X70 modems to connect to satellites in order to send messages when no cellular signal is available.
