The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is set to feature two-way satellite connectivity, which will be available globally. However, the extent of its functionality outside of China may depend on carrier support. The device utilizes the Xiaomi Pengpai T1 chip and connects to China's Tiantong satellites, primarily designed for emergency communication when traditional cellular networks are unavailable[1][4][7].
While the Xiaomi 14 Ultra will be widely available, it's unclear whether mobile carriers outside of China will support this satellite feature, which could limit its usability in other regions[1][2]. The phone has been showcased establishing satellite calls, indicating its operational capabilities in various environments, including maritime settings[1].
In summary, while the Xiaomi 14 Ultra will have global availability and satellite communication capabilities, its practical use may vary based on regional carrier support.
