In what constitutes a significant vote of confidence in the security architecture of Google Pixel lineup, the smartphones have now been approved for use within US federal agencies, including the re-named Department of War.
Google: The Move "Underscores Our Commitment To Providing Federal Agencies With Secure, Cutting-Edge Technology."
Google has announced in a new blog post that its Pixel smartphones have now been included in the Approved Products List (APL) compiled by the Department of Defense Information Network (DoDIN). This step allows federal employees to purchase a Google Pixel smartphone and conduct communications that do not require designated secure channels, as per the established protocol.
According to Google, this measure "establishes a crucial foundation of trust and enables government agencies to confidently procure Google Pixel phones, knowing they adhere to the highest security standards required," and "underscores our commitment to providing federal agencies with secure, cutting-edge technology."
On a more granular level, the following Google Pixel devices have been approved for the Android 15 version:
- Pixel 9 Pro XL
- Pixel 9 Pro
- Pixel 9
- Pixel 9 Pro Fold
- Pixel 9a
- Pixel 8 Pro
- Pixel 8
- Pixel 8a
- Pixel Fold
- Pixel Tablet
- Pixel 7 Pro
- Pixel 7
- Pixel 7a
- Pixel 6 Pro
- Pixel 6
- Pixel 6a
Interestingly, the APL does not include the latest Google Pixel variants - the Pixel 10 lineup. Of course, the APL process is quite exhaustive and time-consuming. It is almost guaranteed that the Pixel 10 series will be included eventually in this list of approved devices.
Meanwhile, as we noted recently, the Pixel 10 Pro fails to handle Genshin Impact smoothly, highlighting the Tensor G5 chip’s gaming shortcomings.
