According to MyDrivers, Honor has developed its satellite communication technology and has overcome the three major technical problems of antenna size, call endurance, and communications.

“Honor provides consumers with the smallest size, the most stable signal and the most reliable service. So you're getting a power-saving mobile phone satellite communication experience," Ming said.

The Tame Apple Press has rushed to point out that this is not new because Apple invented it. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 have Apple's Emergency SOS via satellite.

However, Jobs’ Mob system only works during emergencies and Honor’s system allows users to make phone calls and send text messages over the satellite connection. This would be a first for smartphones and could be a precursor of things to come.

Using a satellite connection has several advantages to using mobile networks. The main advantage is that it allows the phone to make contact in even the most remote locations. This is a great advantage in emergencies or where cellular service isn't available. Outside of emergencies, it could also be used while on vacation to avoid roaming charges, depending on the cost.

What's not clear is whether the Honor Magic 6 Pro will offer satellite communications outside of China.

The Honor Magic 6 Pro is also rumored to pack the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip for increased performance and graphics power, as well as a 200-megapixel telephoto lens with a sensor in a 1/1.5 format.

This hardware could place the Magic 6 Pro at a similar level to the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24, which is tipped for a January launch. The Honor Magic 6 Pro is set to release at some point early next year.

Honor CEO Zhao Ming has spilt the beans about the Honor Magic 6 Pro which include a revolutionary new satellite connection feature.
