Many companies didnt even released Android 14 for their devices and Google is already working on Android 15 😮

Let us see some of the Android 15 features and what new can we expect 👀

Google is currentl giving chance to pixel users to experience Developer Preview of Android 15 who own Pixel 6, 7 or 8 series.

Let's see what's with the First Developer Preview of Android 15 got.

Android 15 continues our work to build a platform that helps improve your productivity while giving you new capabilities to produce superior media experiences, minimize battery impact, maximize smooth app performance, and protect user privacy and security all on the most diverse lineup of devices out there.

Dynamic Performance

Android 15 provides a set of APIs that allow games and performance-intensive apps to interact more directly with power and thermal systems of Android devices. On supported devices, Android 15 will add new ADPF(Android Dynamic Performace Framework) capabilities:

• A power-efficiency mode for hint sessions to indicate that their associated threads should prefer power saving over performance, great for long-running background workloads.
• GPU and CPU work durations can both be reported in hint sessions, allowing the system to adjust CPU and GPU frequencies together to best meet workload demands.
• Thermal headroom thresholds to interpret possible thermal throttling status based on headroom prediction.

In-app Camera Controls

Android 15 adds new extensions for more control over the camera hardware and its algorithms on supported devices:

• Low light enhancements that give developers control to boost the brightnes of the camera preview.
• Advanced flash strength adjustments enable precise control of flash intensity in both SINGLE and TORCH modes while capturing images.

Health Connect

Android 15 integrates Android 14 extensions 10 around Health Connect by Android, a secure and centralized platform to manage and share app-collected health and fitness data. This update adds support for new data types across fitness, nutrition, and more.

Privacy Sandbox on Android

Android 15 brings Android AD Services up to extension level 10, incorporating the latest version of the Privacy Sandbox on Android, part of our work to develop new technologies that improve user privacy and enable effective, personalized advertising experiences for mobile apps.

Partial screen sharing

Android 15 supports partial screen sharing so users can share or record just an app window rather than the entire device screen.

Now let's see what's with the Second Developer Preview of Android 15 got.

Satellite support

Android 15 continues to extend platform support for satellite connectivity and includes some UI elements to ensure a consistent user experience across the satellite connectivity landscape.

Smoother NFC experiences

Android 15 is working to make the tap to pay experience more seamless and reliable while continuing to support Android's robust NFC app ecosystem.

Automatic language switching refinements

Android 14 added on-device multi-language audio recognition with automatic switching between languages, but this can cause words to get dropped, especially when languages switch with less of a pause between the two utterances. Android 15 has added additional controls to allow apps to help tune this switching for their use case.

HDR Headroom Control

Android 15 chooses HDR headroom that is appropriate for the underlying device capabilities and bit-depth of the panel; for pages that have lots of SDR content such as a messaging app displaying a single HDR thumbnail, this can end up adversely influencing the perceived brightness of the SDR content.

Loudness Control

Android 15 introduces support for the CTA-2075 loudness standard to help you avoid audio loudness inconsistencies and ensure users don't have to constantly adjust volume when switching between content. The system leverages known characteristics of the output devices (headphones, speaker) along with loudness metadata available in AAC audio content to intelligently adjust the audio loudness and dynamic range compression levels.

These are the upcoming features of Android 15. We may expect google to release stable version of Android 15 by Q3 2024.

Waiting for iQOO to release Android 15 for their devices as soon the Google releases it. 🌝

And that's it for this thread guys. Hope you will like it.
