Android 15 "Vanilla Ice Cream" will require Linux kernel 4.19, dropping support for Linux 4.14.
This is expected as with each release, the oldest supported Linux kernel version is bumped. eg. Android 14 required Linux 4.14+ while Android 13 required Linux 4.9+.

"T needed 4.9, U needs 4.14, V goes up another year and thus requires 4.19."
I don’t think it’s going to mean much for normal users. Some super old devices might no longer be able to run to run the kernel (and therefore unable to be on android 15), but aside from that I think that not much is changing. This generally gets bumped every iteration anyway.
