Google is potentially working on incorporating satellite messaging feature into the Pixel 9, filling the gap left by Android manufacturers' lack of support.
Pixel phones have been using Samsung modems instead of Qualcomm, and the Pixel 9 might feature the new Exynos Modem 5400 with Non-Terrestrial Network capabilities.
Google's move to develop hardware that supports Android's native satellite implementation aligns with its original aim of using Nexus/Pixel line to shape Android's development.
T-Mobile could potentially be the initial service provider for the Pixel 9's satellite SMS feature, created in partnership with SpaceX to power its satellite network.
