Android 15 vs Android 14 - Disappointing Update!

[@Samar.A]

this update is the reason why phone manufacturers are able to promise up to 7 years of updates for flagships & mid-rangers are now getting 2-3 years of android updates. google will make subtle changes from now on.

[@mihirshetye4624]

True,its better for Google to make subtle but crucial changes(like security related ones) while leaving more minute and visual changes largely to the OEMs and their respective custom skins,after all the main strength of Android as a OS is its versatility and openness. Perhaps the updates themselves may be delayed a bit as a result,but its better than getting than getting buggy updates from OEMs. Finally,as monthly security patches are similar for all Android devices,perhaps Google can itself release them on Google Play Store going forward for quicker and more routine roll outs.

[@lloydpbabu]

@@Samar.A truly people don't understand how important this update is. They have modularised a lot of the system components so that it can be updated separately and supported for longer.

[@oogwaythesussyturtle]

there is actually a massive change under the hood that most people don't talk about. this change is probably the single biggest upgrade android has seen in years. and that upgrade is that android 15 finally drops opengl es completely in favor of vulcan. this could mean huge performance improvement and graphics quality in games.

[@goldnovaelite]

Vulkan*

[@oogwaythesussyturtle]

@@goldnovaelite yeah my thick thumb can't type anything right...😭😭

[@oogwaythesussyturtle]

@@yeff3606 nope. vulkan improves performance as it allows the application to access cpu and gpu more freely. vulkan improves cpu to gpu communication and it also allows for easier cache memory access. vulkan not only performs better than opengl, it's also more efficient. opengl is an ancient api at this point.

[@doofoos]

these dumb youtubers dont know anything except visual changes

[@kindofanmol]

I'm an Android loyalist but have to admit that iOS has become so much more dynamic over the past decade. There's great attention to UI/UX detailing & cohesion, and there are lively creative animations and design elements sprinkled throughout the OS. Android feels stale and stiff in comparison. Google needs to wake up from their complacence and hire better UI/UX designers and engineers.

[@debrajsom]

yes because for the last 7-8 years it was the same

[@TechTalk0069]

@@kindofanmol because they didn't changed for last more than 5 years

[@NamanArusia]

I'm pretty sure if you ask anybody who daily drive BOTH android and ios, they will tell you the same thing has been true since long back. The only problem is the restrictions imposed by Apple in ios for the most absurd and nonsensical things, on which Apple has made HUGE strides but still some significant key aspects its still lacking. However, judging how Google has been clamping down the opposite way on Android in certain areas (bootloader, custom FW, rooting, permissions etc) both might reach a singularity point soon enough

[@redrush-hp9li]

Because iOS didn't change shit the last 6 years

[@okay6343]

​@@redrush-hp9liHate to break your bubble but phone reach its peak 5/6 years ago. The new add on features that they make is just a gimmick and it's not a must have type of features anymore. iOS is way more optimize due to their own software being hardwired to work well with any apps. Longer support. Some Android do last long but 90% of them just doesn't last 4-5 years because of their short ass support system so it eventually slow down even if the phone is still running. Again, some Android do last long but talking about the avg maintenance of Android phone is not on the level of iPhone. If u are the type of guy who upgrade phone every 2/3 years, than Android is definitely better. And I think Android should focus more on their support system rather than this more bigger, faster (faster we mean 1 secs faster than last year type of thing). Heat issue in the long run because of their hardware.

Yup lol it feels like they are evolving backwards, i mean i really am fascinated about buttonless phones 5 years back, but they keep on adding buttons every year as a feature.

[@aluimmumitat]

Actually the action button is very good. I run a Siri Shortcut on it that change the function base on where I am and what I do. When I am at work it opens a specific app for my work. At the train station it shows me the ticket. In my car it navigates me to a location based on my calendar. When the Sun set and I am at home it toggles the flashlight. When I am on vacation (based on calendar) it picks a random food style and navigates me to a restaurant nearby.

I don't think android needs a major visual overhaul. The QS panel,settings, everything is good for a minimal stock experience. Maybe somewhere around A 17 or A 18, changes might be needed.

[@alb-bos]

Stock android is ugly compared to ios18, and I have both right now. Its amazing how far android has fallen behind iPhone with things like having more widget options on AOD display. Android widgets on AOD are limited to system apps only. Also being able to see detailed notifications on iPhone's AOD, which android still doesn't have. Yes, io18 still has countless limitations, but that gap is gradually shrinking, and if complacent Google doesn't put an effort, Android phones will be left for the community to update.

Very disappointing. Everything is same in stock android since android 12. Just minor changes, no visual changes. Adding 1-2 new features every year and labeling it as OS update.
