As Google gears up to unveil its new products and software at the Google I/O event from May 14-16, one of the anticipated highlights is the introduction of Android 15. With two beta versions already released, the official announcement of the operating system is imminent. Here are five significant features expected to come with Android 15, promising numerous innovations.
- Satellite Connectivity: Finally, Android users can expect the long-awaited satellite connectivity feature, akin to what Apple has offered for iPhone models. With Android 15, users will be able to send and receive messages using satellite connectivity even in areas with no cellular signal. Unlike Apple’s limited emergency-only use, Android 15’s satellite connectivity will be more versatile.
- Battery Health: Android 15 is anticipated to introduce an essential and beneficial feature – battery health monitoring. Initially spotted in Android 14 QPR2 Beta 2 but withheld due to insufficient support, this feature is expected to provide users with detailed insights into their battery’s health, displaying the full capacity.
- Partial Screen Sharing and Recording: Another user-friendly feature expected with the new update is partial screen sharing and recording. Android 15 will allow users to share and record the screen of a single app, prioritizing privacy. While initially available on Pixel devices with Android 14 QPR2, this feature is likely to expand to more devices with Android 15.
4.High-Quality Webcam Mode: Android 15 will bring a camera connection feature similar to Apple’s ecosystem, allowing users to utilize their phone’s camera as a high-quality webcam for their computers. No more reliance on third-party apps; users can seamlessly use their phone’s camera with high-resolution quality on their computers.
5.Secure Area Feature: Familiar to Samsung users as the “Secure Folder” feature, Android 15 will introduce a secure area feature available on all Android models. With this upcoming OS update, users can hide important apps and files behind a PIN or different password, enhancing privacy and security.
