Leak shows Starlink Mini 2 with built-in battery, smaller size; upload speed may fall
Leaked information suggests Starlink Mini 2 has entered the production stage. The new model is expected to be slightly smaller and may include a built-in battery, simplifying power use and improving portability. Engineer Oleg Kutkov shared specifications on X, including a claimed drop in duty cycle from 75 percent to 11 percent, which could reduce uplink speeds. Launch timing and pricing have not been confirmed, and no specific speed figures were provided.
