Android 15 Official update: EVERY new function and feature!

[@9to5Google]

PSA: Some features such as Charging Limits, the updated Screen recorder, Notification cooldown, and more are NOT in Android 15...yet. They will arrive with QPR1 in December 2024. This video ONLY contains the functions that are PRESENT in Android 15 upon release.

Yes, it would've been better if they just placed the device on a flat surface instead of moving it around which made it a bit harder to see.

Where are the lock screen widgets? Wasn't Google supposed to be reintroducing them after their removal way back in the Android 4 era?

[@MichaelBTech]

Aside from the Pixel Feature Drops, Android has seen smaller things changing each Android OS update. Separating Google app updates from Android OS updates makes Android OS updates feel small, but when you put it all together it seems pretty big.

[@TheOriginalGregToo]

Android in general has some killer features. I wish they'd spend less time adding new features and instead focus on squashing bugs, which seems to have gotten wildly more prevalent in Android 14. The other major requests I have is that they overhaul the share menu, and figure out the whole media/file selection menu that pops up when you're trying to attach a file from within an app. It is absolutely bonkers to me how broken, janky, and limiting these two core features are. What's worse is they've literally made both of them worse over the years.

[@odemata87]

@@MichaelBTech wasn't much of a feature drop this time around since many of what's in the video , people don't have since it wasn't included in their updated Android 15

[@slashtab]

tbh Android updates should be more focused on Android AOSP itself. Google shouldn't try to slowly diminish the openess of it.

[@MichaelBTech]

@@slashtab I agree, but should Google just give out free resources or should the entire community contribute to Android? I think that's the argument DOJ is having with making Android a separate company.

[@slashtab]

@@MichaelBTech Community does contribute to AOSP. There are many individual who contributes to to ASP. It's mega corporation which doesn't, like Samsung and other, at least not as much as they should. Google has a lot a capability. If they want to profit off it and close it, then they should close it and not the angel character. AOSP apps are bare minimum, which encourages users to use google apps which isn't fune.

[@flexor212000]

FYI on Pixel 9, there is no "Device diagnostics" on Android 15. Mine just has repair mode, then reset options. It's missing. Weird.

Don't get me wrong everything seemingly functions as before which is a good thing. This feels like the smallest Android version we've ever gotten. I don't know that I would even be able to tell the difference if someone showed me a device running one of each.

[@ThomasTheTankEngine22]

[@immaculatesausage938]

I do not have the Cellular and Network Security settings options... anyone else?

[@shaggytoph]

9:15 for those unaware, this option comes in hand with those "smart tag" trackers / "apple airtags" / "tiles". These trackers help you find lost items by sending a Bluetooth signal that nearby phones pick up & report anonymously. The trackers work offline, but only if enough people have Bluetooth turned on. In areas / countries where few people use Bluetooth, the trackers might not work as well, so yeah they need to make something to keep Bluetooth enabled in everyone's devices. This is atrocious for battery life tho, even if the name is "Low Energy Bluetooth".

Predictive back animation is a joke. If you try to back on any of these pages: Google settings(include system update, backup, etc), Android system intelligence, permission controller. You will find that there is no animation. And because app list pages(All apps, app notifications, etc) are written in Flutter, the animation is different from other back animations.

[@jevonsims900]

Google will do just about anything to entice iPhone users to switch to Pixel even if what they've copied from iOS is half baked.

Where is function of blocking charge at 80% battery level? I remember this function was in beta version?

[@maritube123]

Nice Information. Android 15 for pixel phones depends on where it was bought. Like , Google store, Best buy, Amazon , carrier like T mobile, At & T . Google store gets the first update and later on batch wise from where it was bought. Last year my 8 pro got an update after 3 weeks as it was from Best Buy. This year for the 9 pro XL I got today itself as it was from the Google store.

[@dingofgc]

The device diagnostics option inside the system settings is not available on my Pixel 8 pro! Is that a regional feature?

[@shaggytoph]

17:33 There should be an option to not show that screenshot thumbnail at the bottom, or at least reduce how long it stays on screen. Right now, it takes 9 whole seconds to disappear, which is way too long and takes up a lot of screen space. I'd be fine with 3 seconds.

Had it for a couple hours on my P8, and... Underwhelming. Theft protection was opted by default, and I don't really have a need for the locked apps. Why the Files app's Locked Folder, the Photos app's Hidden Photos, and the system's Hide Apps aren't merged into 1 spot with unified controls and settings is confusing, though.

[@LooNeYlv]

You can see and feel that googles focus is on the next years 'next gen' Pixel 10(most probably- Pixel X, just because it sounds ''cooler'' as everybody has done it) and Android 16. 😉 As this android update is so low key(most probably deliberately so Android 16 will stand out more.) It is more like standard quarterly update which has some minor bits and tweaks here and there. Update file size 1gb also shows it that no big changes, usually 'new' android was 2-3gb in update size. That's why google was so uninformative about this years android version as there is really nothing to show off.. Release it quietly as it is mandatory duty and move on to the next years more important project.

I got the prism 1.0 dbrand screen protector for my p8p and i cant recommend it. It only covers the display area and not the entire screen. It seems like its a fraction too small. So what you get is when the screen is too bright you will get refraction on the edge of the glass creating a rainbow effect. So not only do you have to be incredibly precise when putting it on, it still has issues when you do have it perfect

If you want to have a good point and shoot camera bundled with a phone, you can go for the 5, run lineage on it, it will be fine provided you don't run it like a jetski. Otherwise, for example Samsung A Series, the Nothing Phones, can do just as well.
