Google’s Brian Rakowski announced today that the new Pixel 9 lineup will be the first Android phones to feature Satellite SOS. The Verge reports: The feature launches first in the US “regardless of your carrier plan,” Rakowski said, though it won’t be available in Hawaii and Alaska, per a support page. According to fine print shown during Google’s livestream, the service will be included “at no additional charge for the first two years after activation of devices.” A blog post by Rakowski qualifies that further, saying that it will be free for those first two years “on Pixel.” And it’s unclear when the feature might arrive for other Android phones.
