NO it is not. I've corrected you before with actual links to the SoC specs and radio bands.
Stop believing random Android blogs written by retards.
It was planned for Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, but it never materialized (on the hardware level). Supposedly the hardware is there in SOME units of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 that have the compatible antenna. Mediatek has also a few Socs, such at 9300 series and the Mediatek Dimensity 930 series (used in Defy2. and Cat S75) And of course, all of the Pixel series since at least Pixel 7 (tensor G2 with Samsung Modem). It's on a trial stage currently. Most old phones cannot be turned into 3GPP NTN sat phones with a mere software update. They don't have the SoC/Antenna to do it. In the future yes... but not now.
Then there are a few odd Huawei and other chinese models that have their own, Chinese satellite (specific band/comms) compatible sat access.
Most Android phones are NOT (on hardware OR software level) compatible with satellite access.
In USA Goole pixel are 2.4% of Android phone market and less than 1% globally.
An all pervasive global satellite phone spy network that does not make, except for
Yes, eventually, but not yet.
You can still buy 4G only, Snapdragon 8Gen2 (or earlier) and even Chinese phones that lack the required hardware.
Then if you want, you can even buy a Google Pixel and install GrapheneOS on that. Afaik, that does not still currently answer to any Satellite (3GPP NTN) calls nor answer with precise GPS data, as Pixel 9 series does.
However, it is of course obvious that just by connecting to a 3G/4G/LTE network you are constantly triangle located using multiple towers down to a few meter accuracy. There is no way around this, other than turning your phone power off (after which it doesn't actively respond all the time).
Even worse is the fairly recent Android phone passive bluetooth answering mode (hardware+software stack) in modern phones, that works even if you turn OFF your phone (BT chip has it's own power supply and will answer calls even when turned off, in these modern phones). You can circumvent this only by putting your phone in a tight enough faraday bag (and pref, turned off also, just to reduce the power of transmitting radios).
Future is indeed bleak in this regard, but we are NOT yet at even 10% Android Satellite location/spy phone coverage (iPhone users be damned, they are all cucked since iPhone 14 series).
Too tired to dig up source, do your own research. Tired of correcting this.
And ayh probably explained to you that LEO provides enough connectivity for 4/5G to recieve the very miniscule amount of data necessary (mere bits) for eID validation and BTCBDC validation. Most phones in the last 5 years ARE compatible bcz THIS HAS BEEN THE PLAN FOR A DECADE PLUS. They started launching Starlink in 2019/g, prepping years prior. The cellular connectivity was pitched then as well, we were just not listening. ALL phones in the last 5 years have been more than capable.
Again, this is Pixel, which accounts for <1% of Android phones.
You can even still buy a fast modern Android phone with zero Google or Sat stuff in it.
But yes, you are right , this is the direction we are being pushed into.
Actually this is pertaining to all phones. Pixel already has sat with 14.
NO it is not. I've corrected you before with actual links to the SoC specs and radio bands.

Show me the proof. I'd like to know if this is true. All the data on antenna frequency bands and the SoC modems show me otherwise.
If it's true, I gotta downgrade my phone :-D
all iPhones 14 and up and all Android 15 compatible handsets inc. Pixel 7 series, Pixel 8, and 8 Pro
Cat S75, Motorola Defy 2, Huawei Mate 60 series
and also the Bluetooth add-on Motorola Defy Satellite Link
it's such a niche feature though, and the messages are expensive
dont you mean > lol
