Editorial report

Thuraya One technical sheet

The Thuraya One is for people seeking satellite connectivity in an Android 14 phone; its main trade-off is a battery capacity among the weakest of phones from its time.

Its 6.67-inch AMOLED display has a resolution of 1080 × 2400 px. The 90 Hz refresh rate and 700-nit peak brightness are both lower than those of most phones launched around the same time. The body has IP67 protection, but at 230 g and 11.6 mm thick, it is heavier and thicker than most phones of its time.

The Qualcomm QCM4490 and 6 GB of RAM put its hardware in typical territory; its 6 GB of RAM and expandable 128 GB storage are below what most phones of its time offer. The 50 MP rear camera has a smaller sensor than most, and an 8 MP ultrawide camera is also included. Overall, the camera is typical for its time. The 3500 mAh battery capacity is among the weakest, while 18 W charging is slower than on most phones launched around the same time. With a NeoScore of 5.0, the Thuraya One is best suited to people who prioritize satellite connectivity.
