Samsung Galaxy S23 may have satellite communication and super bright screen

 We may only be a few months away from the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S23 series, but as usual, many new features and improvements may have been rumored ahead of launch, with two potential upgrades just leaked.

First, it’s possible that the Samsung Galaxy S23 series will support satellite communications in some form. This comes from a report from ETNews, which states that Samsung is partnering with global satellite communications company Iridium to offer this feature on the Galaxy S23 series.

While Iridium is capable of voice and data communications, Samsung will reportedly limit the S23’s satellite technology to text messages and small images, as it can only fit a small antenna in the phone. This may sound restrictive, but it should be enough to help you reach contacts or emergency services without a cell phone signal.

Today’s other Samsung Galaxy S23 leaks specifically involve the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, which reportedly has a screen brightness of 2,150 nits or more. The source is @RGcloudS, who made the claim on Twitter, but noted that due to further tweaks, the maximum brightness could be slightly different at launch — possibly even above 2,200 nits. For reference, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra maxes out at 1,750 nits, so this will be an upgrade that will help you see the screen clearly in bright sunlight. However, we would take this with a grain of salt, especially since the source doesn’t have much documentation yet.

Analysis: Match beats iPhone 14 Pro Max

The brightest smartphone screen on the planet right now is the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which can hit 2,000 nits, so if this leak is correct, Samsung will beat Apple and set a new record.

But if Samsung’s upcoming phone supports satellite communications, Samsung will also be competing with Apple, as the current iPhone 14 series is one of the very few phones with this feature. However, questions remain about how Samsung’s implementation will compare to Apple’s — if it does happen — and which will be better.

On the iPhone 14 series, you can only contact emergency services, which is currently only available in the US and Canada. So it remains to be seen whether Samsung will allow more general-purpose satellite communications, and in which regions of the world its services will be available.

Still, it’s great to see more companies exploring this idea, as it could be a life-saving feature that we hope to see on most of the best phones in the next few years.
