Motorola launches the Defy Satellite Link
Turns any smartphone into a satellite phone
In the world of smartphones, last year’s most impressive development was the launch of satellite connectivity. The new feature allowed users to communicate with emergency authorities in low-coverage areas. Though the feature is a boon for those who explore or live in far-flung areas, it also holds a lot of potential for general communication. Now, Motorola is making sure that everyone can enjoy the technology without a compatible smartphone.
While users can certainly get a dedicated satellite phone, the world only has a handful of major smartphones with the capability to communicate through satellites. The iPhone 14 kickstarted the trend last year. The Pixel 7 series followed soon after. If you don’t have either of these smartphones, enjoying satellite connectivity isn’t as readily available.
Today, Motorola launched the Defy Satellite Link. It’s a compact accessory you can pair with an Android and iOS smartphone. When paired, the accessory will allow smartphones to connect and communicate with satellites using the Bullitt satellite service. It uses the MediaTek chipset announced during MWC 2023.
It will let users communicate with one another from device to device. However, the recipient will be asked to download the Bullitt app if they don’t already have it. Further, using the two-way service will cost at least US$ 4.99 per month for the sender.
Additionally, users can also avail themselves of the SOS Assist function — a year of which comes free with the device — which allows users to call Bullitt’s emergency authorities 24/7/365. Even without a connected smartphone, it will have a check-in button to alert others of where you are.
The device will come with an IP68 rating for water resistance. It will also have a 600mAh battery capable of powering the device for days.
With the free on-year subscription, the Motorola Defy Satellite Link will cost US$ 149. After the free year expires, subsequent subscriptions to Bullitt’s service will cost US$ 4.99 per month.

While smartphone manufacturers have been equipping devices with larger batteries over the past few years, power banks still remain an essential carry.
That’s especially for heavy smartphone users who have to push their device’s power to the limit — be it for gaming, content creation, and similar demanding tasks.
Or, you know, if you just suddenly ran into an unexpected long day and have to spend extra hours outdoors.
Whatever the case may be, that’s where the VOLTME MagPak 5K comes in. This small, 5,000mAh capacity magnetic power bank easily recharges your phone’s battery wirelessly.
The VOLTME MagPak 5K is chiefly meant for the iPhone 12 to 14 models, but can still pretty much refuel more modern devices, so long as they have magnetic charging capability.
It uses V-Dynamic technology and is MagSafe and 7.5W Qi compatible. With a 9N Magnetic Alignment Force, it has a stronger attachment so users can focus on the titles they play or the scenes they shoot.
Or, if you want to slow it down while recharging your handset, the power bank comes with a kickstand to help you place your device either horizontally or vertically.
Beyond the magnetic charging capability, the MagPak 5K also supports USB-C to USB-C charging to another device.
You can even simultaneously charge two devices at once, or just opt for the wired charging if that’s what your phone is using.
At just 134 grams, it’s an easy carry, and something that fits seamlessly into your pocket. There are also five colors to choose from.
For days where you feel you’ll have extended device usage, it’s best to keep a portable gadget to keep you going.
Who knows, that extra power can spell the difference between going out of battery or being able to transfer money, purchase something at a convenience store with cashless payment, or booking a trip home.
No need to worry about battery drain. Just focus on what you’re doing with your daily life.
