Once more, Huawei has made a daring move that goes beyond the usual limits of the network. Huawei Pura 80 Ultra in Hong Kong has just been blessed with an update of the EMUI 15.0.0.140 that brings in the support of satellite communication along with other features. Through the OEM updates, the smartphone can access and relay messages and phone calls through the Tiantong and Beidou satellite systems, which are located in China.
List of changes:
- Boosted connection quality in limited situations
- Security patch of September 2025
The official Huawei changelog does not mention anything about satellites, but the Hong Kong user community has made a satellite feature available for them through the list. As a result, the device owners in the zero mobile coverage areas can contact their acquaintances not by land, but air.
Right now, the new function is only for the Pura 80 Ultra in Hong Kong, and it is a long way off for the global models, which have not received this feature. Although the EMUI 15 version technically supports this, Huawei has not indicated the release date or whether the update will be extended to other parts of the world.
Briefly:
- The Pura 80 Ultra designed for mainland China can now initiate satellite calls and send messages via the satellite.
- Those who are using the Pura 80 Ultra outside of China should be patient. The next Huawei step is unexpected.
In the past, Huawei brought changes in small portions one at a time, but satellite communication might eventually be added to international devices. However, the breakthrough belongs to the people of Hong Kong at the moment.
