Satellite connectivity has emerged to become the latest trend in the smartphone industry. If you still have no idea what it is, it's basically a feature that allows you to call or text when you're somewhere that prevents connection to the network. The good news is that Google has confirmed it's introducing it with the next iteration of Android, so it should be a common feature by next year, as HUAWEI has introduced its own version with Apple rumoured to bring it to the iPhones.

Celcom announces the launch of Malaysia’s first emergency response sidekick called the SafeMate which allows the users to notify their friends, family members, or even the local authorities with a click of a button.
