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.
9to5 is the first to notify that your update has come and indeed it has arrived on my pixel 7 pro. As I am typing, in the background it is getting downloaded. Thanks 9to5
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.
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.
@@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 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.
@@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.
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.
12:21 on my Pixel 8 Pro I do not have this setting, although I just upgraded it to Android 15. There is also no charging limit setting unter Setting --> Battery -->Adaptive Charge
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".
Just installed it on my Pixel 7 Pro. I was really surprised to see Darwin Nunez in my wallpaper gallery. Yes, 6 Liverpool and 6 Arsenal Wallpapers are available in Android 15, lol
They've always been there. I was so disappointed to see that, considering Chelsea FC is my club hahah. But awesome to see football content in general 😊
@@thejackrhythm no, they haven't. They've now added these Liverpool and arsenal wallpapers. I also found a couple of new textures , community , art wallpapers thrown in there. Check them out
Question to people with clean Android on Pixels - is there a built-iin equaliser in the sound settings?I am planning to buy a new Pixel moving away from my old OnePlus, but I am so used to having an equaliser there.
I just checked my settings and I couldn't find an equaliser in the volume settings. I moved from a OnePlus 10 pro as it got stolen and to be honest I've not missed that much of the OnePlus software (apart from the alert slider).
Depends on the country and carrier really. Supposedly the rollout was from 10 a.m. EST today but a lot have gotten nothing yet, so based on last year I'd assume it'll come much later, possibly at the nighttime...
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.
Interesting, I'm missing adaptive screen timeout on my Pixel 8 Pro. And the weather app too! Edit: And device diagnostics. Edit 2: Through research it seems that those will be in the October feature drop at some point this month.
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.
9:45 Stock Android still FAILS to add a quick settings TILE TO TURN ON NFC without going into settings. My motorola devices have that by default but google never implements it. This has been happening since android 13
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.
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.
Hit the software update button first, it showed me already upto date. Hit it again and it takes some time until it tells you new OS is available. Try it.
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
Most of these features aren't even available on Pixel 7 Pro. This doesn't look like new Android version at all. Everything is same for me even the wallpaper app lol
Upgraded to Android 15 on Google Pixel 9 Pro XL and today found the first bug with Google Pay. NFC stops working after a while so nothing happens when I'm near the card reader it only starts working again after I restart the phone, It happened twice today
Has anybody else have had a bug where your Bluetooth earbuds revert back to AAC? It happens to both my earbuds, didn't happen before on Android 14 only 15
Just came from the Iphone! I'm on a pixel 9 pro now. I have to say I've been missing out on the connectivity of Android for years. It works so much better with devices other than apples.
I have noticed that WIFI is slow on my Pixel 9PRO XL compared to my PIXEL 8 Pro.. and older Huawei phone... Hopefully this isn't a hardware issue and can be fixed with a patch update...
Some of these features ain't on my Pixel 9 Pro XL, after I just installed Android 15, The device diagnostics setting is not available on my device, some of these region related? 15 (AP3A.241005.015) is my build
That phone looks too bright lol. Im considering getting a google pixel 5 this week. Would be interesting to see your channel produce a lineageOS video for old androids. And comparing that experience with other handhelds... for example how does a 4a 5g phone with lineageOS support compare to a iphoneSE, samsung, nothing, etc ($400) budget phones?
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.

Is it just me or is the camera focused more on his hands than the screen?
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.
@@DarcMagikian Does locking the focus on Phone if it is in flat surface works even when he use his hand to do some actions ? Just asking
yeah it's superrr annoying and kinda strains my eyes too
@@fabulousdoge3513I thought it was my eyes 😂
It's also brighter which worsen your eye strain

FYI on Pixel 9, there is no "Device diagnostics" on Android 15. Mine just has repair mode, then reset options. It's missing. Weird.
Me too on pixel 8a
Same here pixel 8a
Where are the lock screen widgets? Wasn't Google supposed to be reintroducing them after their removal way back in the Android 4 era?
12:22 haven't received device diagnostic on my pixel 6a
same on my P7 Pro :(
Same with my 6a
Was wondering about the security update and boom full OS and feature drop, lets go! It will probably take the usual 921849218409209 hours to update
I left my 8a alone for 2 hours lol
Am I the only one who didn't receive the device diagnostics in the update?!
Nope
I didn't either. Nor the new weather app.
Haha, nope I got none of these features. Looks exactly the same as android 14
No your not I didn't also get the other features
@@abdel-rahmanashraf6610 many of the "new features" people didn't receive just the update Android 15. Which is really weird

I didn't even know what my pixel 9pro fold updated. I can't tell a difference with anything
Great, Android 15 with all the new features ready and the end of the beta. I hope to receive it on my devices soon.
Good video.❤
Why is the suggested apps row on the top of the app drawer? Should be on the bottom since phone screens are so big
My pixel 8 doesn't have new weather app or device diagnostic what the hell
Same on 7 pro
most likely these features are only on the pixel 9...
Same here
I think they will appear later like previous features
I'm pretty sure those are exclusive to the pixel 9 and beyond
Checked my pixel 8 it isnt there!
Update : it is there !!!!!
Also not for my 8a too..
It's just appeared on my 7. check it again!
Out for pixel 9 pro xl here
I'm in the US and my girlfriend and my pixel 8 pro is being updated now!
It's rolling out
Still can't change app icons, swap the back and app-switcher buttons, or remove the At A Glance widget from the home screen?
Checked my Ericsson A1018s.... Not here!
You need coca cola version 😎
Device diagnostics is not available. You sure this is the OFFICIAL Android 15 update?
Can't find device diagnostics on my pixel 9pro XL does it depend on which country one lives ?? Just like a lot of other features 😅
I don’t see it either

Love your videos bro ❤
Welcome back to your home
Thank you so much for this wonderful video!
I was really hoping that themed Icons will be uniform with this update
I love stock Android OS.
If only phone manufacturers used stock Android instead of skinned one then that would less lag and stutter on animations
Updated on my P8P!

Same here...seems Verizon devices will not have this feature...I may be wrong though.
Same here on pixle 7, even the whole settings page makeover is still the old one where google account is displaying at the top.
Thanks for the heads up I had no clue it was out, downloading it now 🎉🎉🎉
App lock feature highly needed 🙏
yep I'm using 3rd party and its insanely buggy
IOS wins
Look for private space in the settings
What is the background music track? Much love from Colorado
Just finished downloading and the Adaptive Timeout isn't on my P9PXL
I wish Dbrand would ship their screen protectors.
So im guessing Pixel 6 won't even recieve the December feature drop? Ive been waiting for the battery limit thing but i guess not...
No but the 6a will
Great Videos always enjoy and click asap.Appreciate all the Awesome updates. 💯✌️
No Device diagnostics on my Pixel 9 Pro(US) after the android 15 upgrade. Anyone else?

Any improvements to the camera app IE putting exposure value numbers on the EV slider ( like Apple has)
