Physics degree, Caltech, then over thirty years designing airborne radars, including five years designing satellite radar & satellite communications networks (i.e., X- and Ku bands). At those wavelengths, signals transmitted by your phone (a critical part of all this) are not going more than 10-20-ish centimeters deep in the best conditions. So, from the perspective of mountains, RF signals are “line of sight” in that mountains are opaque to RF signals.
This is different from wireless signals getting through house or apartment walls, because they’re basically made of air. (And signals are aided by reflections from a myriad other surfaces around typical homes).

Also manual sync for calendar and email. I don't have a Samsung but my old LG used to have a sync when charging option that I wish I had that on my Motorola.
Otherwise it would sync if I opened the app.

4k 120 is literally a Walmart special lol
This is an actual high quality TV, not a surveillance tool disguised as a TV.

That was Qualcomm, the company that makes the processors for almost every Android phone, including Samsung's. https://www.qualcomm.com/news/releases/2023/01/qualcomm-introduces-snapdragon-satellite--the-world-s-first-sate

At CES i forget the company but they were showing off their new processor which included satellite sms capabilities. I assume it’ll cost a “small fee”

I mean, everyone's preferences are different, but IMO bigger isn't always better with displays; if you have the same resolution of display but in two different sizes the smaller of the two will appear brighter and of higher contrast to the eye, and will generally offer a better experience in bright conditions.
Plus, you can just adjust sitting distance to the size of display, so I'm not entirely convinced that displays should be judged that heavily by size, IMO.

I can’t help but lol at the “you’re saying there no cell service 1 hr from LA.” If they think that’s shocking then I guess Seattle will probably throw them for a loop 😅 easily no signal within even a half hour drive
