[CNMO Technology News] As the release of Android 15 approaches, there have been many revelations about the new features that will be introduced in this latest mobile operating system. However, one of the important potential new features may be Pixel's satellite communication.

When foreign media disassembled the APK of Android 15 Beta 4, they found that Google may be preparing a satellite communication service. This service allows users to contact emergency services through the Google Messages app without a ground network connection. This sounds very good, but at what cost?

Another piece of code indicates that the feature will be free for "{2}" years. However, a survey showed that only nearly 30% of the respondents were willing to pay for the service. Most people seemed unimpressed by the paid feature, which is very similar to the situation in China.

Importantly, it's unclear how much this service will cost. Additionally, not all Pixel devices will be compatible with this feature, as it requires dedicated hardware support. It's also important to note that the "{2}" in the code may just be a placeholder - Google may change this free usage period to be longer or shorter. Still, a two-year free period would bring Google's free duration in line with Apple's.

The media expects that Android 15 will be released together with the Google Pixel 9 series, which will be unveiled on August 13.
