Qualcomm may release a special version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC with satellite connectivity. An insider at Digital Chat Station reports that such a version is currently being tested.

What this special version is and in which devices it will be found is unclear. Perhaps this will be an exclusive solution for the new flagships of Samsung, or simply a more expensive version of the platform, which any smartphone manufacturer can buy if desired.

At the same time, it is worth remembering that Qualcomm introduced Snapdragon Satellite at the beginning of the year , and this technology works on the basis of a modem. Moreover, the necessary modem is already at the heart of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, but none of the smartphones based on this platform support satellite communications without additional solutions. If the new generation requires a special version of Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 to implement it, then the situation with Snapdragon Satellite remains not very clear. 

Digital Chat Station was previously the first to accurately announce the specifications and release dates of Redmi K30, K40, Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 11.
