It's looking ever more likely that the Samsung Galaxy S24 will get a feature which Apple introduced to the iPhone last year, and could help you out if you get stuck in a remote area.
Emergency texting via satellite does pretty much what it says on the tin. If you find yourself in an area with no mobile signal, smartphones which support the feature can connect to satellites to allow you to send text messages.
A screenshot shared by SamMobile claiming to be from the Galaxy S24 details the 'Emergency texts via satellite' feature which is set to come to the handset.
Looking more and more likely
This isn't the first we've heard about the S24 series potentially getting the satellite link-up, with Samsung announcing a new network back in February, while in August a tipster pointed towards the feature possibly coming to Samsung's next flagship devices.
It's positive to see this emergency feature rolled out to more handsets, and while it's one we hope will never need to be used, it's reassuring to know our tech can provide potentially life-saving services like this.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 series is set to be revealed in early 2024, with January (or very early February) being rumoured as a likely launch window so there shouldn't be too much longer to wait until we find out more about this feature and what else the new smartphones will have to offer.
