Huawei Introduces Groundbreaking Satellite Technology Feature on Its Smartphone Lineup: Learn More
Huawei has introduced a satellite connectivity feature in its latest flagship smartphone, the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra. But that’s not the interesting part, because Apple already offers this tech with iPhones. Huawei is using this satellite connectivity to allow users to send images through the Changlian app. The Pura 70 Ultra becomes the company’s second smartphone powered by an in-house processor, which is manufactured in China.
The Changlian app is currently available on the Huawei App Market for select Huawei smartphones. While the Pura 70 Ultra is not the first smartphone to feature satellite connectivity, it is certainly the first phone that allows users to send images through this feature. It will help users send images to their contacts during emergencies. Huawei first introduced the satellite connectivity feature with the Mate 50 series. Previously, the Mate 50 series only allowed users to send short messages via the BeiDou satellite network. Later, they added the audio calling feature to the Mate 60 Pro, which was launched last year.
According to reports, it has been found that this feature will be enabled with low network bandwidth, resulting in compressed and blurred images. Apart from Huawei, Google also recently announced that it will launch its satellite connectivity in the new Pixel 9 series, which is set to launch in the second half of 2024.
Apple has been offering emergency satellite communication to its users since the iPhone 14 series. But Apply only allows users to send text messages and share their live location using this feature. This has been one of the highlights of iOS. Talking about the features of the Pura 70 Ultra, the smartphone comes with a powerful Kirin 9010 chipset and is backed by a 5,200mAh battery with both 100W wired and 80W wireless charging. In terms of its camera capabilities, the smartphone is equipped with a unique mechanically rotating telescopic lens on the one-inch, 50-megapixel main sensor, which enhances image clarity and image quality at high zoom levels.
