Starlink has unveiled its second-generation portable satellite receiver, the Mini 2. Leaked images from July proved accurate, revealing several upgrades. A built-in, swapable battery offers up to 4.5 hours of connectivity on a single charge or USB-C power. The company stated this as one of the main selling points, as the first-generation model only came with a DC power cable.
With built-in Wi-Fi, users can get online in 60 seconds with a clear view of the sky. Preorders are now open for the US, priced at US$999, which includes the receiver, USB-C cable, quick-swap battery, and a full year of Starlink’s Roam Unlimited subscription. Specifications show the battery is housed in a rectangular compartment at the rear, complete with its own USB-C port and capacity indicator.
The Mini 2 is also thinner, measuring 21mm compared to 38.5mm, and weighs 1.6kg with the battery and kickstand, compared to 1.16kg for the first-generation model. The company claims the new model is more durable, featuring tougher materials and an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance. Availability beyond the US has not been confirmed.
