The Xiaomi 14 Ultra can indeed make emergency calls via satellite. This functionality allows users to connect with emergency services when they are outside of cellular and Wi-Fi coverage. The device is equipped with technology that enables it to establish a satellite connection, facilitating communication in critical situations.
When using this feature, users typically send short text messages rather than making voice calls, as satellite connectivity has limitations in bandwidth. The Xiaomi 14 Ultra guides users through the process of connecting to a satellite, ensuring they have a clear line of sight to the sky for optimal signal reception. This capability is particularly valuable for individuals in remote areas where traditional communication methods may fail.
