Since the Huawei Mate 60 series, various manufacturers have also started the research and development of satellite communication technology non-stop. Among them, the manufacturers that have officially announced that they will be equipped with this technology in the next generation of mobile phones, one is OPPO's Find X7 series, and the other is the Honor Magic 6 series.
A few days ago, the Glory Magic 6 series officially announced Hongyan satellite communication technology, which is characterized by smaller size, faster connection and lower power consumption, which can be used to make satellite calls and send satellite text messages, I believe that in terms of comprehensive experience, it will catch up with Huawei Mate 60 series (after all, the late-mover advantage, and Honor also holds a lot of satellite communication patents). In this regard, Zhao Ming, CEO of Honor, also revealed that in the next few months, the satellite communication solutions used by many manufacturers will have the shadow of Glory, which can be seen that Honor has accumulated quite a lot of technical patents at this level.
So here comes the problem, many people question that the satellite communication of mobile phones is an IQ tax. This is actually also well-founded, after all, most users live in cities or rural areas with perfect network signal coverage, no matter how stable the signal quality of satellite communication is, in the final analysis, it is still weaker than the network signal, so the vast majority of people, very small will use satellite communication.
The use of satellite communication is also a threshold, which requires users to open the corresponding tariff package in advance to use, taking the telecommunications package as an example, the voice is 9 yuan / minute, SMS is 5 yuan / piece, although it is not particularly expensive, but how many users will specially open it?
In addition, satellite communication also comes at a cost. In the end, the wool is still out of the sheep, and the price of mobile phone terminals will also rise. So for consumers, it is equivalent to spending a little more money and getting a function that may not be used, do you think it is worth it?
