Private Space seems to be an Android-level implementation of Samsung's Secure Folder.

Same thing with the volume sliders

[@pu239]

It's just the work profile feature accessible in a different way. You can do (almost) exactly the same thing by apps like Insular(FOSS)/Shelter/Island. Work profile has been in android since a long time, typically meant to be used by companies, but with these apps (and with the Private Space mode) can be used on a personal level.

[@deepakbisht4957]

Well android skins are always ahead of vanilla OS as they have to sell phones with features but android is made by Google and when they have to implement vanilla OS they try to make things simple and effective and easy to override for other OEMs so they need time. So it's the story of every year that vanilla android OS is coming woth things that are already present in Samsung l, MI, Oneplus and other mobile manufacturer's skin..

4:52 Partial screen recording is a game changer. To be able to record an IG live and be able to do other things on your phone while it's recording is what's needed on all phones rn.

[@sadbravesfan]

Are you sure that's how it works? It looks like it paused recording when you leave the app. Also if you're trying to record an IG Live you'll probably need to keep the app windowed if you wanna do other things as an IG video won't keep playing if the app isn't present on the screen.

[@Tascioni49]

@@sadbravesfan Mmm for what I understand, it keeps recording the app in the background. So, theoretically, it should keep recording an IG video.

[@BollywoodBabuOfficial]

@@Tascioni49 @sadbravefan, It will be recording the video but the video itself will be paused once you exit Instagram, so technically, the recording we will get will be a paused screen from the IG live until we get back to the app.

[@TigTex]

With AMOLED displays it would be extremely easy to reimplement a "led notification" by illuminating a couple of pixels or even just displaying a small icon of the app and save more battery vs an always on screen with a clock, notifications, battery status, etc. Take notes google...

[@prospekt1909]

In the end, that's what they were there for. Almost all of my phones notifications can be ignored, however as long as I don't know what it is, it could potentially be something that can not be ignored.

Still hoping this will become the default setting some day. Dings/vibros on everything was cool when messaging was a brand new thing, but now it's just obsolete. Everybody knows "call = urgent, message = take your time".

[@jet_aviation]

This is legit a nice useful tip

[@jogabonito8989]

Yeah same here. I find that most of us (me included) check our phones multiple times a day it's highly unlikely to miss something unless we're truly busy, which means the notifications can wait. If there's something urgent someone will call and that's the only time the phone will sound and vibrate :)

[@RurouTube]

@@Laura1006craft Samsung has it since Android 10. It is a Samsung feature that use Bluetooth and not inherently a Bluetooth feature. They way that they did if I'm not mistaken is basically they are sending 2 streams of audio, each one for each headphone. This Bluetooth LE Audio is much improved in that aspect. Bluetooth LE Audio allows independent audio streams to be streamed directly to different headphones (so basically similar-ish to the Samsung implementation but with more freedom) and it can also do broadcast which basically you can connect like unlimited amount of Bluetooth headphone/speaker/etc (the first method is obviously limited mainly because of the bandwidth requirement) and have those devices play the stream. Obviously the broadcast method doesn't allow unique stream for each devices, but most people just want to share audio and this method is perfect for it.

I don't know if there are other maps with different numbers, but I assume so. The names and characteristics are all generated from lists of words too, so it's different most of the time

[@jalpaca]

The number of bodies changes every day! Every day, there is a new universe to explore!

[@pilover1007]

Just about to say it's randomised each time as well. Sometimes I've had 3, I think I've had sometimes 6 bodies when running it. My guess is it just picks some names and picks some planets/orbits for you to find. It's pretty cool to play around with when I have some spare time.

[@jpara_dise]

are the red lines surrounding the star the orbits of the planets?

[@pilover1007]

@@jpara_dise Those are where it's modeling the gravitational pull around the star. The orbits of the planets are white. The planets also have the red circles where you can land on them

That partial screen recording is nice

[@Praveen-cj2iz]

Just noticed there are 15 Android figures in the background, nice little touch to the video !!

[@spoilerkiller]

The screen record feature to pick an app you want to record is already there in Android 14.

[@hafihiafafggresgersgesgesg1293]

same with the secret minigame

[@CatIsBack25]

Also your mom

[@sr_vrd]

To add on this one. When I started using the magnifier button (because old) I found out the screenshot button that comes as you swipe up is this nice feature of "only app screenshot" too, if you want to hide the notifications or time or whatever from your screenshot.

[@thecsciworker291]

It is already there but the recording is cancelled and saved if you switch from that app. What he demo'd is the improved version where it continues to record.

[@ninjanerdstudent6937]

I appreciate so much how Android has had up to four user accounts. I always quickly switch users when letting somebody else use it.

[@oviniandrade]

talking about colored LED notification lights made me remember my Sony Xperia SP that had a transparent light bar at the bottom of the phone, it was really sick

[@kaptainkool101]

FINALLY! I've been waiting for #3 for AGES. As someone who turns their volume up and down on those sliders on a regular basis, having to hit the tiny dot and slide it around (and god forbid you miss and it goes to the next menu deep) is such a hassle. Whoo who!

This has been a feature on Samsung, and it's great

I put 2 volume buttons up and down right on the navigation bar. No hassle to push the volume button and then slide the volume slider, just tap on the volume down or up button, work spontaneusly. Samsung with Good Lock.

Adaptive vibration is actually super useful 🤩

​@@Ryan-093knox is honestly one of samsung's best features

[@johnvehikite4023]

I love when Marques teaches the young folks about old tech like notification lights. Sounds like me telling my kids about pay phones or walkmans.

[@tejaskaushikofficial]

A little correction at 3:33 , this feature is called predictive back and it's not for animation but if you try to go back you can see to which page will you go back. So its helpful in situation where after going through multiple sections, we know now where it will go back

[@StoicPhilosophyyyy]

Man it only works in system apps

[@DarioColetto]

If the app is implemented following guidelines then it's available, else nope

[@HaimPeretz]

The "new" back gesture already exist in Android 14🤷🏻

[@epender]

​@@HaimPeretz I have it but I'm pretty sure I had to enable it in developer settings and it only works in a few apps, now it's enabled by default.

[@aqua-bery]

​@@StoicPhilosophyyyy yeah each Dev has to do some work to support it

Good to see you MKPHD!

Marques has been ignoring his Twitter notifications since 2016 😂

[@markmcwilliams366]

I've watched you from the very beginning and you've turned into a huge channel and with the new android 15 I feel like it's really matured into a good os I remember when I had to root my phone and install another ROM but there's no need for that anymore in my opinion

[@krisvaras7801]

feels good to see a classic MKBHD video again

[@LonelyFox777]

I’m here because the LED notification explanation had me legit nodding and I lolled a little 9:06

[@Spo8]

I love the shout out to the old days of RGB LED notifications. Man I loved customizing it so I knew exactly what had rolled in.

[@Nimosomething]

Close apps running in the background is the feature we really need, i can't sue the play store apps over privacy but i can do that with Google 🎉

[@shmulikgoldstein4557]

Thank you very much for the videos! I think that "Number 2" was already in Android 14 at the "Easter egg" BODIES = celestial bodies, you can find 10 stars and it's was in android 14 too.

[@StefanM22]

8:48 and i can ignore it......and i can ignore it.....and i can....ignore it. 🤣

[@Hyperchicken]

“and…I can ignore it” made me genuinely laugh out loud

[@okolemalunayo]

There was an "Easter egg" last one on the custom vibrations. Hilarious. I've been watching these videos probably since his first & I think this is my first comment. Possibly because I wasted time setting them just to ignore them as well. Thanks for the laugh.

[@CrownedGaming]

I still use a Note 9 so I had no idea new phones don't have the option to display blinking coloured LEDs anymore. I love this feature, will miss it dearly when I upgrade!

[@timwatson251]

I would immediately give up the always on display to be able to get the notification light back. Such a cool and subtle feature that I sorely miss.

[@420blackdragon69]

an OLED panel can emulate an LED notification, it''s literally the same thing

[@Noki0100]

Red Magic 9 Pro, just got one, all rounder decent device.

[@Bluem00n7]

Agree 100 percent

[@savnac]

i couldn't disagree more, I love always on. Anywho, isn't there apps that can simulate a notification led? close enough honestly.

[@bosstowndynamics5488]

​@@420blackdragon69Not entirely, aesthetics aside the notification light can be on the back of the phone so you don't need to make sure the screen is visible to see the notifications. Kind of an edge case since a lot of notification lights were on the screen side anyway, but it is a potential advantage

[@soberhippie]

1:49 "And then private space is near the bottom" - Indeed it is

[@turtlerochi]

i have the p8p on android 14 and i have a lot of these already. Rich widgets, bluetooth auto on (it also works with wifi), volume sliders overlay, partial screen recordings, adaptive vibrations are all features im currently using

[@jkabu_]

Same here

[@anakinskyguy6582]

Maybe they are part of the pixel ui but google will make them available to everyone else with android 15

[@HyBlock]

who asked

[@Paco_Gaepedores]

Very Interesting ❤ Can't wait woohoo !!! ❤

[@gloves94]

For the multicolour app notifications, Holey Light is awesome for holepunch cameras. Literally does a single pixel coloured circle around your camera cutout in the different colours of each app. (It also does a little fancy animation)

[@dan-nutu]

That sounds like a really nice app, too bad I can't find it on the play store. The one that I found and it looked ok from a permissions point of view ("LED Me Know") is only for Samsung phones. All the other ones I checked require dubious permissions, so no go for me.

[@vishnurajs8749]

Not the same it seems. Folder doesn't let you put apps in afaik?

This feature is available on Samsung devices as Secure Folder. This new Private space in Android 15, already there on Samsung devices and it's work very well... I used this feature in my Samsung Galaxy J7 pro and A53 5G too.... The conclusion is, Android 15 (google) borrowed this feature from Samsung 😂.... Proud to be a Samsung User ❤

Android notifications are just great. I detest how iOS handles it. Great overview.

[@WhatTheHekstra]

The LG G4 (or G6?) had custom vibrations per app. I had it set for each type of messaging app. It was great to know what you were receiving without getting your phone out of your pocket.

[@lilgregore]

The G5 had this as well and it's a shame that it didn't take in the mainstream

[@PepsT]

Custom Android ROMs back in Android 2.0 used to have something similar to Notification Cooldown. They had a setting where you only got one app notification every X seconds. I loved it. After a certain version of Android, I could never find a custom ROM with that functionality any more.

[@mike_reves]

The one feature in notifications still missing is making specific app notification priorities. The ones you want to always want to see at the top of the list rather than scrolling through all of the other notifications you have.

[@glublu1211]

Pixel is just starting to nail it ❤️

[@josephm.6453]

The rgb notification light was so great. I had it in my S3.

[@MrMozkoZrout]

Sony phones still have it

[@akyhne]

I use NotifyBuddy for screen notifications (Pixel 7). It can show different colors for different apps, you can edit and customize the icon for each app, the size, the position or random position etc. But i set it to use the actual app icon, but in a small size. The icons will blink for half an hour, then stop to prevent burn-in. But you can adjust this as well. You can also choose which apps to get screen notifications from. Only downside to this app, is that KZbin sends notifications, even when there are none. For example whenever I start a new video on KZbin on my TV, the app will sometimes flash the YT icon on my phone.
