Google has accelerated its efforts for Android 15. Last week, the company released the first beta of the new operating system, and now it’s actively working on satellite connectivity. The interface for satellite connectivity, to be introduced with Android 15, has been revealed.
How will satellite connectivity be set up in Android 15?
Google plans to bring satellite connectivity to Android devices. The latest pieces of code found by Android developers shed light on how the interface will look.
With Android 15, Google aims to enable phones to connect to satellites in low Earth orbit. This will allow users to send texts or files and make calls in areas without cellular coverage.
The code in the Google Adaptive Connectivity Services app reveals how to establish a connection with a satellite. The interface prompts users to clearly see the sky and locate a satellite in their area.
A large circle on the screen will help align the phone with the satellite for optimal signal strength. As the phone moves closer to the center of the satellite circle, the connection strength will increase. After connecting, SMS, MMS, or RCS chat will be possible from the screen.
This feature is expected to be introduced with Android 15 towards the end of this year. However, it’s still in the development stage, and it’s important to note that the interface may change.
Several phones already support satellite connectivity. Apart from the iPhone 15 series, models like the Huawei Mate 60 series, Defy 2, and CAT S75 support this feature. Considering the above information, we can say that Google now aims to make this a standard feature.
