The second feature lets users report major emergencies using satellite networks, providing information such as location and medical ID in addition to alerting emergency contacts.
Simply put, it is for iPhone users to save lives, such as earthquake, fire, plane crash and other disasters, satellite communication function can come in handy.
Most interesting of all, Kuo has also revealed that Huawei's Mate 50 series may also be able to deliver emergency text messages via BDS-enabled satellite communications
Who would be better at launching this feature at the same time as the two vendors, who are already close to each other?
