Samsung Galaxy S25 Series China Version Passes 3C Certification, S25 Ultra Supports Satellite Communication

The China version of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series has passed 3C certification. Among them, the model SM-S9380 is identified as the Galaxy S25 Ultra China version. This phone is classified as a "satellite mobile terminal," indicating support for satellite communication functionality. This makes Samsung the latest smartphone brand to join the ranks of Huawei, Xiaomi, and others in offering satellite communication capabilities.

However, as a non-Chinese brand, the Galaxy S25 Ultras China version must utilize domestic solutions. It remains unclear whether Samsung is using BeiDou or TianTong, and the specific satellite functionalities offered are also unknown. Samsung will likely need to collaborate with Chinese satellite communications providers for seamless implementation of these features.

Notably, the China versions of the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ do not offer satellite communication. Their certification names remain "5G digital mobile phones." This suggests Samsung may be making satellite communication an exclusive feature for the Galaxy S25 Ultra, further enhancing the flagship's appeal.

Beyond satellite communication, the certification information also reveals fast-charging details for the three models. In short, the Galaxy S25 series retains the charging speeds of its predecessor: Galaxy S25 offers 25W fast charging, while Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra support 45W fast charging. Similar to previous generations, all three models will not be bundled with a charger, but they should continue to include a proprietary cable. Users can utilize existing chargers for charging.

With Samsung offering satellite communication, Apple appears to be the only major player in the domestic high-end smartphone market that doesn't offer this feature. However, Apple does provide this feature, but their solution doesn't work within China. Apple doesn't seem keen on utilizing domestic solutions, thus delaying their implementation of satellite communication in China.

Overall, the 3C certification of the China version of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series signifies an imminent official release. The S25 Ultra's satellite communication support further strengthens its flagship position. However, the specific satellite communication solution used by Samsung and the detailed functionalities remain to be officially announced.
