Android 15 is a bigger deal than you think. It's launching first on Google Pixel phones later this summer. And it has a bunch of new features to make your phone more useful, secure and private. Don't worry, we'll get to all of those in the course of this video. But just as important is the one big new marquee feature in Android 15 -- Google Gemini.

It's sad and worrying to see that AOSP is getting less and less of these features. More and more, these new "Android features" are "Pixel" features. I don't care about AI features, I don't, if I get a phone with them, the first thing I'll do is immediatly turn off as much of that stuff off. Once you take all of the AI and Pixel exclusive stuff off of the table, what's left? Not much. It's a basic release, with very few things added to Android and/or AOSP as a whole. As was Android 14. As was Android 13.

@kosztaz87 Ай бұрын

I think it's just a sign how mature Android is now. I honestly can't think any major missing feature on it. And I am totally with you on "AI", I will disable that feature as soon as it will start infecting my phone. Luckily my phone shouldn't get Android 15 update, so I think I will be fine.

Google hasn't done anything special for years. Except Material UI & Introducing some privacy settings in installments. Android OS still lacks some basic features & improvements. e.g 1) It doesn't need hardware resources like Desktop PC but OS Optimisation. 2) We have to install third party Apps or plugins for basic tasks e.g. Backing up & restoring all data in new Phone, view Real Time Network Speed, Shortcuts etc. There are some stocks app (like media player) they are not very useful even lacks basic features & settings. 3) We can't restrict third party apps to using network. This makes Privacy Permissions powerless.

The most basic feature color saturation and color correction are still not on android. So if you get a bad amoled screen with no vibrance your out of luck in countries that don't allow replacements. Or you root and loose warranty. No gaming features, built in controller mapping, no streamer mode to stream with your front cam on. No video input requirements so you basically dump your old tablet after a year or 2 and have no use for it unless you use a latency riddled capture card to use it as a monitor. Its not a big deal its the same deal.

AI is useless so really no difference. I'm more excited for what hardware manufacturers do. For example remains to be seen but the Xperia 1 VI might have just dethroned the 15 Pro Max as having the best battery life. Or if it didn't, it's very close. I'm super pumped about that because most of what stops me from using my phone for photography other than photo quality (which the Xperia fixes, DUH) is battery life and the fact I can't just swap in a new one. If the phone genuinely has 10 hours screen on time with heavy usage then I'm saved. I care about battery swapping right up to the point where it lasts all day no matter what I do/takes literally half an hour to charge. Batteries are easy enough to replace. Just not so easy to wait 2 hours for them to charge in the case of my phone.
