What’s New in Android 15 for Pixel? Features You Didn’t Know

If you own a Google Pixel, your phone just got better. With Android 15 rolling out, there are features that fly under the radar—things that boost security, make everyday tasks smoother, and add hidden value you might not even realize.
In this blog we’ll dig into what’s new in Android 15 for Pixel devices—so you get more than just a case that looks good: you have a phone experience worth protecting.

Stronger Security & Privacy

  • Android 15 introduces a Theft Detection Lock that uses on-device AI to detect if the phone is being snatched (bike, car, or foot) and locks the device automatically. 
  • There’s a new Private Space feature — a hidden part of your device for sensitive apps (banking, social, etc.) that won’t show in recent apps or notifications unless unlocked.
  • Authentication requirements for key settings (SIM removal, factory reset) are tighter — making stolen phones less useful. 
    Why this matters for your case store: When people invest in a premium Pixel and protect it with a quality case, they’re also safeguarding a device that now has deeper built-in value. Your protection narrative isn’t just about drops — it’s about preserving a richer smartphone experience.

 Smarter Multitasking & Large-Screen Optimisations

  • On foldables and tablets (and to some extent in large phones), Android 15 adds ability to pin/unpin the taskbar, and create app-pairs (two apps you frequently use together) to launch as one icon. 
  • Improvements to camera and messaging apps: e.g., low-light boost, better third-party camera control, satellite messaging support in some cases. 
    Why this matters for your case store: A phone doing more means users carry it more places, use more modes, open more angles. Having a protective case that doesn’t interfere with the experience is even more important. Your cases should support the device’s full potential—not limit it.

Hidden UI & Interaction Tweaks

  • A redesigned volume panel on Pixels: larger sliders, clearer layout, smoother transition of audio output devices. 
  • “Adaptive Vibration” – the phone adjusts its haptics based on environment (softer when on a table, stronger when in hand) for better feel. 
  • Expanded accessibility and contrast controls: improved readability and easier use for more users. 
    Why this matters for your case store: These subtle quality-of-life features can be diminished by low-quality accessories—cases that press on edges, block vents, or sit poorly can interfere with tactile good-feel. Your pitch: choosing the right case complements the refined experience built into Android 15.

 How Your Accessories Should Align with Android 15 Features

  • Precision fit and unobstructed sensors: With more background intelligence (like theft detection and private space), you don’t want a bulky case interfering with proximity, motion, or camera sensors.
  • Durable but refined materials: The device now has more software value—so protect it physically in a way that doesn’t compromise feel (slim profiles, quality cut-outs).
  • Future-proof design: With multitasking and foldable support improving, cases should allow for full range of motion (hinges, flex points) and interactions (drag & drop, app pairing).
  • Easy maintenance & access: As users dig into these new features, they’ll open more settings, explore more apps—cases with good tactile buttons, port access, and clean design support that.

Android 15 for Pixel is more than just an update—it’s a meaningful upgrade in security, multitasking, and user experience. And when you’ve invested in the hardware and software, the right accessory becomes part of that ecosystem—not a compromise.
