AT&T and AST SpaceMobile test Satellite Video Calls with Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
AT&T recently shared the exciting news in a press release: they teamed up with AST SpaceMobile to successfully test a second video call between two smartphones using satellites in low-earth orbit (LEO). This time, they used Samsung’s Galaxy S22 Ultra, and it worked perfectly! This is great for Samsung fans, showing their phones can handle calls through satellite networks with ease.
The press release even included a picture from the video call, and if you peek at it, you’ll spot the Galaxy S22 Ultra in action. It’s proof that AT&T and AST SpaceMobile’s satellite-powered cellular connection pairs smoothly with Samsung devices, opening up new ways to stay connected.
Meanwhile, Verizon also jumped in with its announcement. They completed their first satellite video call with AST SpaceMobile’s help. While they didn’t say which phone they used, there’s hope Samsung devices will work with their network too, given how well they perform elsewhere.
Then there’s T-Mobile, working with Starlink to offer a similar satellite service. They’ve got a bunch of phones that support it, and Samsung dominates the list! Models like the Galaxy A14, A15, A16, A35, A53, and A54, plus the Galaxy S21 and newer, Galaxy Z Fold 3 and up, Galaxy Z Flip 3 and up, and even the Galaxy X Cover 6 Pro all work with this tech.
These tests show how companies are pushing to keep us connected, even in far-off places, using satellites. For Samsung users, it’s awesome news—your phone might soon double as a satellite communicator! Whether it’s AT&T’s second call or Verizon’s first, the future of phone calls is looking sky-high, and Samsung is right in the mix.
