The ability to exchange data with communication satellites is still available only on some smartphone models and is largely determined by the ability of developers to negotiate with providers of relevant services. As noted, in the second preview of Google Android 15 for developers, the function of supporting satellite roaming for smartphones was noticed.

This is evidenced by the displayed message “automatic connection via satellite”, which involves switching the smartphone between satellite networks of different providers to maintain communication anywhere in the world. Some smartphones so far only support the sending of emergency text messages over the satellite network, while others already allow the exchange of more complex data at a certain speed.

Accordingly, now users will be able to switch to satellite networks that communicate with the best parameters in a certain region when updating Android to version 15. Perhaps this will lead to additional costs, but this type of communication is often used in emergency situations, when material costs are of secondary importance.

Secondly, Android 15 should expand the functions of working with documents in PDF format. Search, selection of text fragments and annotation, which are already familiar to users of desktop versions of applications for working with this format, will be available in Android 15. Among other innovations, it is worth noting the appearance of support for external screen protectors for smartphones. A foldable screen whose exterior is memorable to the user. A special area can be provided here to display the most important messages.
