This is apparently the last developer preview of the next version Androidu. He should open a beta program for her in April, which should last at least until July. The sharp version is then expected sometime in the fall (according to some unofficial information, it will be released at the beginning of October). Apple brought satellite SOS communication as early as iPhone 14, i.e. in September 2022. Because it is expected that the sharp version Androidu 15 will be released in the fall of this year, so Google has a two-year grace period with it.
