Garmin Fenix 8 Pro announced with LTE and satellite messaging, version with microLED too

Smartphone makers had started to encroach on Garmin’s satellite messaging devices by adding satellite capabilities to high end smartphones.

Meet the Garmin Fenix 8 Pro.

The Pro has LTE, allowing it to do voice calls and texts independently of a smartphone. Additionally, the LiveTrack location sharing feature can work over LTE and can deliver weather forecasts – again, all without a phone.
