Park Yong-in, president of Samsung’s System LSI, confirmed that Galaxy phones will support satellite services starting next year. This is a not-so-subtle hint about the Galaxy S24 series, expected in early 2024.

Speaking at the 2023 Semiconductor Expo (SEDEX), Park Yong-in added that technical preparations have already been made to enable communication via satellites. This may be a reference to the Exynos 5300 modem’s support for two-way communication via satellite.

However, this begs the question: If the rumors of a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered Galaxy S24 Ultra and Exynos 2400-powered S24 and S24+ are true, how will the Ultra support the satellite communication feature?

Park Yong-in also spoke about Samsung’s plans to increase the graphics performance of smartphones by improving ray tracing. It’s a feature that generates light reflections to add realism to games and was first introduced on the Galaxy S22 with Exynos 2200.

He also talked about generative AI, a central feature in Qualcomm’s just-announced Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Essentially, it allows a virtual personal assistant to provide concise, human-like responses, generate multimedia content (videos and photos), and more. We can take this as a sign that Samsung is looking to implement on-device generative AI in the Exynos 2400.
