There’s still a sliver of hope that we’ll get phones with satellite connectivity soon, and that is bolstered by OPPO’s new announcement that the next Find flagship will come with satellite connectivity features.
OPPO has announced that the next-generation Find flagship will support satellite communication technology. While not explicitly named, we presume this refers to the feature coming to the OPPO Find X7 Pro.
