Unlike past InReach models like the Messenger Plus or Mini 2, the InReach Mini 3 Plus has a touch display that spreads across most of its body, in addition to the usual nav buttons. This will make menuing and sending messages on the device significantly easier, where before you had to tap through letters one at a time. The Mini 3 Plus packs in a mic and speaker, letting you send short voice messages or record voice memos via the device, then hear your loved ones' replies, all over satellite. It can also send photos, though you'll need your phone to capture and upload them to the Messenger app.
