Google Pixel 9 series will feature an ultrasonic under-display fingerprint scanner.

The Pixel 6 was the first Google device where the company started using Goodix's under-display optical fingerprint scanners. However, at release, users reported issues with both unlock speed and scanning reliability. Though things have improved somewhat in subsequent updates and in the next Pixel generations, the fingerprint scanner performance in current Pixel devices still leaves a lot to be desired.

According to Android Authority, Google will finally switch to an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner in the Pixel 9 series devices (except Fold with FP in power button), namely Qualcomm's 3D Sonic Gen 2 (QFS4008) — the exact same model found in the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Ultra sonic scanners tend to work better and faster than optical scanners, so this change in the new devices will improve the user experience when unlocking a smartphone.

Forwarded from Mishaal's Android News Feed

The Adaptive Timeout feature that I discovered back in April is here in Android 15 Beta 3, at least on my Pixel 8 Pro! It doesn't seem to work for me, though.

Adaptive Timeout "automatically turns off your screen if you're not using your device."

UPDATE: Okay, I think I figured out how Adaptive Timeout works: It checks your proximity sensor to see if anything is in front of it (like the inside of your pocket). If so, it shortens the screen timeout and turns the screen off early.

This'll be useful for people who like to have longer screen timeouts but who forget to turn the screen off manually.

Android 15 Beta 3: New smart home control screensaver.

Android has long offered screensaver functionality that can turn on when the screen fades on a charger or dock. In the third beta, Google has built in the Dreams app to Pixel devices, which previously served as the source of screensavers for the Pixel Tablet.

Along with this change, there's a new "Home Control" option under Settings / Screen / Screensaver. When you activate it, when you put your phone on charge and wait for the screen to dim itself, a screensaver will appear on the screen with control of your favorite smart home devices from Google Home.

🤖 Android 15's Beta 3 has been released.

This build is the first in the platform's stability phase, which means that internal and external APIs and app behaviors have reached the final version. Google notes the following new features in Beta 3:

• Integrate Credential Manager with autofill
• Integrate single tap sign-up and sign-in with biometric prompts
• WebSQL deprecated in Android WebView

List of fixed issues:

• Issue where disabling polling using the setDiscoveryTechnology method didn't disable polling.
• Issue that prevented the system sharesheet from loading in some cases.
• Issue that caused the system Settings app to crash when accessing screen saver options.
• Issue that sometimes caused the screen unlock icon to be displayed when notifications were on screen.
• Issue that prevented mobile network security settings from being changed.
• Issue with the Android Emulator that caused Simpleperf to crash when running a CPU profile.

Bluetooth resolved issues
• Resolved an issue where Bluetooth LE scans could persist in the system after an app crash.
• Fixed a bug in Bluetooth LE legacy advertising, where AdvertisingSet.setScanResponseData did not return ADVERTISE_FAILED_DATA_TOO_LARGE when scan response data exceeded the 31-byte limit.
• Fixed a bug that caused LE connection failures on the GATT server by passing the address type from BluetoothGattServer.connect to native.

Build: AP31.240426.023 → AP31.240517.022

Google Pixel Watch 3 and 3 XL renders have been leaked online.

OnLeaks has shared images of the next generation of Google Pixel Watches, which will now get an XL model with a larger screen size:

Google Pixel Watch 3 (black):
• Display diagonal: 1.2 inches (same as PW2);
• Dimensions: 40.79 x 40.73 x 14 mm (vs. 41 x 41 x 12.3 mm for the PW2);
• Estimated battery capacity: 307 mAh. (vs. 304 mAh in the PW2);

Google Pixel Watch 3 XL (white):
• Display diagonal: 1.45 in
• Dimensions: 45 x 45 x 13.89 mm.

Judging by the dimensions and diagonal, the base variant of the Pixel Watch 3 will offer thinner display bezels. And the larger dimensions of the Pixel Watch 3 XL will surely imply a larger battery.

Also, the stock straps could get an updated clasp. Furthermore, due to the size of the 3 XL, the band attachment system for this model will not be compatible with the band attachment system of Pixel Watch 1, 2, and 3.
