+1Google's next foldable device could be called 'Pixel 9 Pro Fold'.
A couple of months ago, renders of the 'Pixel Fold 2' were leaked online. However, thanks to a source at Google, Android Authority has learned that this device could be called 'Pixel 9 Pro Fold', thus we can expect 4 models of the main lineup at once this fall:
β’ Pixel 9 - codename 'Tokay'
β’ Pixel 9 Pro - codename 'Caiman'.
β’ Pixel 9 Pro XL - codename 'Komodo'.
β’ Pixel 9 Pro Fold - codename 'Comet'.
Plus, it was previously revealed that Google's next foldable device will be powered by the Tensor G4 CPU, and the body design is more similar to the 9's lineup of devices.
Until recently, Google referred to the device codenamed 'Comet' as the 'Pixel Fold 2'. So, it's possible that the name 'Pixel 9 Pro Fold' isn't finalized either.

Here's a first look at the Android Satellite Pointing UI.
While texting with emergency services via satellite, you will need to keep your phone pointed at the satellite. And Google has prepared a special UI for this purpose.
To connect via satellite, you need to "move your phone to center the satellite in the circle". This interface can be minimized into a floating window, which can be useful to stay connected while you texting with emergency services.
The pointing process is accompanied by animations, an example of which was previously shown by Kamila Wojciechowska. During setup, you will see a special notification from Satellite SOS that asks you to "get a clear view of sky by avoiding buildings, trees and mountains".
This interface is part of the Adaptive Connectivity Services app and is currently not available to users.

+1Pixel 9 series will get an updated modem with emergency satellite connectivity support.
As reported by Kamila Wojciechowska (via Android Authority), the Tensor G4 coming to the Pixel 9 series will come with a new Samsung Modem 5400. This modem has support for the 3GPP Release 17 standard, which provides support for "non-terrestrial 5G networks," or in other words, satellite communications.
The modem will appear in all Tensor G4-based devices with cellular support, including the Pixel 9 series and the next-generation Pixel Fold. Google is also reportedly in the early stages of developing a 5G tablet codenamed "clementine" with the same modem.
The satellite connection will allow text messaging, but not calling. In addition, communication with emergency services will be done through a special "Satellite Gateway" app. But for this you will need to point your phone at the satellite, for which Google has prepared a special animation.

βοΈ Google One's VPN service will shut down later this year.
In an email sent out to Google One subscription members, the company outlined some changes, including the shutdown of Google One's VPN service.
...we're discontinuing free shipping for select print orders from Google Photos (in Canada, the UK, US, and EU) starting on May 15 and VPN by Google One later this year. As a Pixel user, you'll continue to enjoy being able to access VPN from Google through Pixel settings if you have Pixel 7 or newer models.That is, Pixel devices will stop using the Google One app and switch to the built-in service, which means no constant notifications. In a comment to 9to5Google, the company told the "[they] found people simply werenβt using it". The company said that dropping the feature will allow the team to "refocus" and "support more in-demand features on Google One." Recall that this service only provided a secure connection and did not give access to resources blocked in the country. The service existed since October 2020 and will be closed later this year. π Google News | En

Android 15 Beta 1 revamps the system animation for in-app (predictive back) navigation. Here's a look at the updated animation.
The back-to-home animation is unchanged and predictive back gestures are still disabled by default, though.

Repost from Mishaal's Android News Feed
Earlier this year, I broke the news that Google is bringing back lock screen widget support in Android 15.
I now have more information: This feature is aimed at tablets, like the Pixel Tablet, and not phones.
Full details plus screenshots can be found in my latest article for Android Authority.

Android 15 Beta 1 adds a new "cellular network security" settings page under Settings > Security & privacy > More security & privacy with toggles for "security notifications" and "require encryption."
This page controls Android 15's new anti-stingray protection features I first reported on for Android Authority.

Repost from Mishaal's Android News Feed
Android 15 Beta 1 adds a new "allow WEP networks" toggle under Settings > Network & Internet > Internet > Network preferences that lets you disable connections to Wi-Fi networks secured by WEP.
"WEP is an older security protocol that's less secure", the setting warns.

+2π€ Android 15 will get an updated design for the status bar icons.
The current design of the status bar icons hasn't changed much since Android 5.0 Lollipop, except that Android 10 introduced options to customize them, which was cut out in Android 12.
As Mishaal Rahman ( via Android Authority) has learned, Google may introduce an updated segmented icon design in the upcoming Android 15 update. Also, in the new icons variant, the battery percentage is now displayed inside the battery icon.
In addition to the new icons, Android 15 may add a slight tactile feedback when long-pressing the quick settings tile, as well as when dragging the volume slider that appears when the volume buttons are pressed (similar feedback to the brightness slider)
