However, not all Android 14 devices will be capable of using this satellite communication feature. In addition to software support, the feature also requires appropriate modem hardware. Phones optimized for Android 14, like the rumored Google Pixel 8, are likely to include the necessary hardware, and some older phones such as the Google Pixel 7 might also be compatible. On the other hand, some phones will lack the required hardware, such as the Samsung Galaxy S23 lineup, despite running on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform, which theoretically supports satellite communication.
