Android 14 Update: Everyone is eagerly waiting for the iPhone 14. Apple will launch the iPhone 14 at its 'Far Out' event on September 7.

He had told that he will bring direct satellite connectivity on smartphones. Now Google has also made a similar announcement. The company said that it is adding support for satellite connectivity to the smartphone, which will be present in its next Android version.
With the help of satellite connectivity, smartphones can make calls and messages without a cellular network. Hiroshi Lockheimer, Senior Vice President of Google Platforms and Ecosystems, tweeted that Google will add support for this feature in the next Android. Let's know everything about this feature.
Android 14 will get satellite connectivity support
Apple iPhone 14 Series is going to be launched on 7 September 2022. According to the news so far, this device will be equipped with satellite connectivity. Now Google has also confirmed satellite connectivity support in Android smartphones.
Lockheimer said it's exciting to think about the user experience for phones that can connect to satellites. He said, 'When we launched the G1 in 2008, it was meant to work with 3G + Wifi. Now we are designing for satellite.' Lockheimer added that, 'We are excited to support our partners in rolling this all out in the next version of Android.'
Currently, satellite connections are used in emergencies or in places where it is not possible to install towers or lay fiber for cellular networks. With the advent of satellite connectivity in smartphones, people in small cities or remote locations can get relief.
