Google will roll out a new Linux kernel update to all Tensor-powered Pixel devices with the Android 15 QPR2 Beta 1 release

With the upcoming Android 15 QPR2 release, the VPN by Google service will likely be available for the Pixel Tablet. VPN by Google is the replacement to Google One’s VPN service and is available exclusively for free on the Pixel 7 and later.

For Android 15 QPR2 Beta 1, Google has made this first build available to the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel Fold, Pixel Tablet, Pixel 8 and 8 Pro, Pixel 8a, Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

Google is preparing to release the Android 15 QPR2 beta soon. This comes as the Android 15 QPR1 beta program nears its end, with a stable release expected in December. The Android team announced on the Android_Beta subreddit that the Android 15 March Quarterly Platform Release (QPR2) beta program will begin shortly.

VPN by Google is currently available on Pixel 7 and newer phones, but not the Pixel Tablet. With Android 15 QPR2, Google appears to be adding support for the Pixel Tablet. Multiple reports indicate that Pixel Tablet users can now connect to VPN by Google, including on the stable Android 15 build.

When VPN by Google rolled out to older Pixel phones in June, the Pixel Tablet was excluded, though that might be changing.
