As the release date of the Samsung Galaxy S24 series approaches, Samsung has begun network testing in South Korea's three major carriers, SK Telecom, KT, and LG U+. At present, the new Galaxy series strives to differentiate itself with built-in generative AI technology in terms of exterior design and key performance, which are the focus of many users.

South Korea's SK Telecom, KT and LG U+ recently started testing the Galaxy S24's network connectivity, according to a South Korean **ETNew report. These carriers have already received the Galaxy S24 Ultra from Samsung and are evaluating whether it will work properly in the Korean network.

It is understood that the network test is the last procedure before the sale, and it is separate from the preparation of the electromagnetic compatibility certification and other systems. The purpose is to assess whether the new device is suitable for the local network and if there are any functional issues.

It is reported that the Samsung Galaxy S24 may not support the satellite connection feature. This service is capable of sending rescue notification signals using satellites in the L-band band in the event of an emergency. An industry insider revealed, "As I understand it, Samsung Electronics is preparing to install satellite communications capabilities capable of providing two-way services for its next-generation models. ”

Although the satellite communication feature may not be available on the S24 series, Samsung is still confident in the AI technology and other advanced features it will carry. Consumers and industry observers alike are looking forward to what kind of innovation and experience this new AI phone with generative AI technology will bring.
