Samsung Galaxy S26 series could be getting satellite voice calls
"The Exynos Modem 5410 integrates LTE DTC, NB IoT NTN, and NR NTN on a single chip. NB IoT NTN, or NarrowBand Internet of Things Non-Terrestrial Networks, is at the lower end of the communication spectrum. It allows for very sparse data throughput, like location data or text transmission, but does so reliably even across deserts or oceans. Samsung says this portion is certified by Skylo."
"Again, we don't have any confirmation yet that the Exynos Modem 5410 is coming to the Galaxy S26 series, but we do know that it is positioned as one of, if not the most, premium of the company's modems, made on an advanced 4nm EUV process. It is based on the 3GPP Release 17 standard, supports 5G NR dual connectivity across FR1 sub 6GHz and FR2 mmWave, and lists peak download throughput up to 14.79Gbps."
Samsung's Exynos 2600 is built on a 2nm process and may power upcoming Galaxy Z Flip8 and possibly S26 devices in some regions. The Exynos Modem 5410 integrates LTE DTC, NB-IoT NTN and NR NTN on one chip, enabling sparse IoT messaging across deserts or oceans via Skylo certification, extended satellite features including voice through LTE DTC, and higher-throughput satellite connectivity via NR NTN that could permit satellite video calls. The modem is produced on an advanced 4nm EUV process, is based on 3GPP Release 17, supports 5G NR dual connectivity across FR1 sub-6GHz and FR2 mmWave, and lists peak downloads up to 14.79Gbps. Confirmation of S26 deployment is pending.
