Satellite Communication in Vivo X100 Pro
In recent news, MediaTek and Vivo have unveiled their collaboration in the realm of AI, with the introduction of MediaTek’s Dimensity mobile chip powering Vivo’s latest flagship smartphone. What sets this particular phone apart is its integration of end-side AI big models, a noteworthy feature for tech enthusiasts. However, amidst the excitement, satellite communication capabilities in smartphones have become a subject of speculation and discussion.
Weibo users, often known for their curiosity and scrutiny, raised questions about satellite communication arrangements in this latest Vivo offering. To their queries, Vivo’s product manager, Han Boxiao, responded with a candid but somewhat disappointing statement. He mentioned that it’s unlikely for new phones with true flagship platforms to support satellite communication by the end of the year. Han emphasized that the timeline for such a feature’s integration involves numerous factors beyond technology, implying a longer wait.
Earlier this month, anticipation had grown when sources suggested that the Vivo X100 Pro had received radio approval from the MIIT and “expected” to support satellite communications. The inclusion of the V8821 Satellite Communications SoC chip added to this anticipation. However, recent developments seem to have quashed these rumors.
Zooming out and looking at the bigger picture, it’s clear that satellite communication has piqued the interest of several smartphone manufacturers over the past year. Brands like Meizu, Motorola, and Xiaomi were all rumored to be working on phones with satellite communication capabilities. However, last month, reports made headlines by confirming Huawei has an exclusive commitment to the satellite communication program, reaffirming its dedication to cutting-edge technology in the mobile world.
In summary, the world of smartphones is evolving rapidly, with AI integration becoming increasingly prevalent. While the idea of satellite communication in our pocket-sized devices is intriguing, it seems that we may have to wait a bit longer for its widespread adoption. Vivo, MediaTek, and other tech giants continue to push the boundaries of what our smartphones can do, and satellite communication could become a reality sooner than we think. As technology advances, the potential for more seamless and globally connected mobile experiences remains a tantalizing prospect for both manufacturers and users.
