Google’s upcoming high-end Pixel devices, the Pixel 9 series and the next-gen foldable, are expected to boast satellite connectivity for emergency messaging. Rumors say the devices will feature a Samsung modem to facilitate satellite-based SOS.

Google could be adding a feature very similar to Apple’s Emergency SOS feature to the Pixel 9 and the next Pixel Fold. That’s according to leaker Kamila Wojciechowska, who writes for Android Authority that the company would partner with T-Mobile to offer the feature but may add other providers later.
