Google, in addition to the launch of Samsung’s Galaxy S25 phones, announced support for Android users with visual or hearing impairments, including improvements to the screen reader and hearing aid connectivity.
Thanks to support for LE Audio Technology in Android 15, there will now be lower latency in connection with GN hearing and Oticon intent hearing aids.
The update also makes it possible to make hands-free calls and adjust personal audio settings.
The new audio features are available now on Android 15 for the Galaxy S25 phones and in the beta version of Android 16 for the Pixel 9 phones, but will roll out to the Galaxy S24 and other Android 15 phones in the coming weeks.
For those with visual impairments, the Galaxy S25 phones will now launch improved support for connecting to Braille displays via Bluetooth, with the feature rolling out to other Android 15 devices in the coming weeks.
Additionally, the Galaxy S25 phones’ screen readers will now be better at describing images.
