Google finally released Android 15 for Pixel devices after a long period of beta testing starting with the Pixel 9 series. This brings in several key security upgrades along with exciting features in an effort to make life more convenient for users and more private for them too.
Important Features in Android 15 for Pixel Devices
Apparently, the most important new feature of Android 15 uses AI technology to determine whether, indeed, your device has been stolen, it proceeds to locking it up making it in inaccessible. One can even lock their phone from a distance so that no one interferes with sensitive information present in it. For added security, Google now requires the user to input a PIN before pulling out the SIM card or deactivating the “Find My Device” feature on Pixel phones.
Another prominent feature is the Private Space. Out of sight, the feature makes it possible for people to hide their applications and even sensitive information. Once enabled, all the applications have been removed from the application list, notifications, and recent activity, giving a whole new level of privacy.
Android 15 provides extended support for foldable devices and tablets. It can pin or unpin the taskbar for custom layouts and save split-screen app pairs for multitasking.
Satellite Connectivity & New Photography Features
Android 15 makes satellite connectivity possible on Pixel devices; the new feature lets carrier messaging applications send texts using only a satellite connection, without a cellular or a Wi-Fi link. In a remote area, this feature can prove to be extraordinary!
Photography enthusiasts would love the new Gemini on Pixel Screenshots feature, utilizing AI to speedily help users find particular screenshots. Underwater Imaging Mode now detects whether the phone is submerged and switches to a special mode optimized for underwater photography. Astrophotography gets improved enhancements including an all-new “Night Sight” with a new slider for achieving better starry night shoots.
In addition, Night Sight is also available in Instagram and helps users capture dramatic low-light shots right within the application.
Expanding Features to Older Models
While some features are exclusive to the Pixel 9 series, older models like the Pixel 8 Pro are getting some of the latest functionalities, including Audio Magic Eraser and a thermometer viewfinder.
The Android 15 update represents Google’s ongoing commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology and improving the Pixel user experience with every update.
