Android 15 Beta 2 - Finally Serious Changes 

Finally, the review i was waiting for 🙏🏽🙏🏽 thanks for ur efforts man

I just want them to force devs to make apps edge-to-edge by default. The black bars on the top and bottom are so hideous.

These are genuinely such great features for advanced users, I am really surprised and can't wait to get this on my phone!

I love how they find all sorts of uses for the haptics, i really love the Pixel haptics 😂

Been waiting for your video. Thank you.

Great updates in this build. Great detail in your video.

YAY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR VIDEO 😁 btw pixel 6 user here !

I was waiting for your video, finally something to talk about

Thanks for the video bro, I've been waiting for it 🙂 much love

I found this channel recently and i watch your videos religiously now.

Thank you so much for posting this great review. You are the first I turn to when I hear of something new! I appreciate the mammoth effort you put into your posts, they are very helpful. Blessings!

App pairs are really cool. Im gonna be using that a lottt. Especially when opening group chats from 2 different apps trying to catch up with everyone quickly.

Thanks for the update as usual. Good to see Google is picking up their pace, excited to see more.😊

Great Video, Thank You.

I love you really talking in-depth

Thanks for the detailed review! You are the best android in reviews

The review I was waiting for😂 Nice work bro. The only feature I wish google should bring to android 15 is the pop up window like Samsung

Installed on pixel fold everything is working smooth so far 😁

Your way of explanation is 👌

The only blogger who makes helpful and understandable videos, thanks buddy 🙌🏻

Waiting for this fab update. 🤩

Interesting!

Nice! 🔥👍

Amazing bro 👍

I'm enjoying beta 2. Loving the visual tweaka

Excellent

2. widgets 2:38 spilt screen shortcut 4:00 vol controls 5:18 private space samsung has them since long back

I'm hitting the like button simply because of the new intro music that's much better than the previous one

private space is very useful . In samsung phones, it is called secure folder . I have been using it for a long time .

I've always been an iPhone user but I've had a pixel for the last year. There are a lot of features on here I wished the iPhone had. From the Grammarly floating button when I'm typing to catch errors (iPhone you would have to switch keyboards) to the call screening (my face). I'm excited to see all the AI changes and how Apple responds.

Dont forget new Status bar icon for usb debugging and new Android 15 logo when tapping the android version. Great video though 👌🏻

How would the notifications work for the apps in the private space? Also, in case we use the same Google account, can we still separate pictures, or it doesn't work? If you can compare it to Samsung private space, that will be amazing. Thanks

Yeahhh😊

The way you're making reviews makes me choose Pixel and use it with Galaxy (what I use). HUGE THANKS for this post. It was so perfect 👌. Another HUGE THANKS to Google for fixing the annoying bugs and adding features that we didn't even expect them to come! Dear Emad, your effort is always an effort ❤.

Nice features. Still waiting for things like lock screen customization, icon packs, change fonts, remove icon labels, remove at a glance, remove search bar, create folders within the app drawer, change color palette freely, OLED black dark mode version (i hate the grey), compact tiles in quick settings (i hate those big buttons). I love the pixel experience, but there's so much native customazation options messing.

I love how every tech video is becoming an MKBHD video, down to the intro music and graphics

Can you please tell me what visor protector you're using?

No status bar icon changes in this build? Earlier it showed different status bar icons for android 15. It looked awesome.

Your work is so essential bro. Thank you for all your efforts 🙏🏾. Can i install this on my Pixel 7. I'm on Android 14 stable currently

BETA 2, first impressions so far is good!

The private space is similar to Secure Folder from Samsung. But I feel more comfortable using Secure Folder.

Where can I find your selection of wallpapers?

This is a must install build it’s been so smooth! This is one of the reason i bought a pixel in the 1st place, so why not?

The enhanced prediction return gesture that beta2 enabled by default does not seem to be mentioned

thanks for changing the intro music. it doesnt sound like porn anymore

80 percent of these changes are not even features. These are just slight tweaks or minor improvements. But android is in such a position from last few years that pulling one toggle from one menu to another also counts as a feature.

Great video as always! I have one question - can you share files between your main profile and the private space?

THANKS ! For all the work you put in.

Save split screen pairs! I love it! Hope google keeps adding more split screen features!

-finally the bell, I was so impatient. 😂

Bluetooth (and other connections) should have had more options than just "turn on again tomorrow". It should be 5 minutes, 10m, 20m, 30m, 45m, 1h, 2h, tomorrow, or custom where you set the designated period. The same for app pausing, I want to pause certain apps when I am on holidays for a week. Currently, you can only pause for a day.

Lock screen clock and weekdays widgets is any app or android 15?

App pairs are definitely useful on Pixel Fold. Was waiting for it to happen in Android 15. I hope the dock also got improvements. Anyone tried beta on Pixel Fold?

Is display output enabled on these versions for Pixel 8 ?

Private space is cool n all but what I really want is a way to hide apps from the drawer entirely - only able to open if searched.

Beta 2 feels good man. Using it on Pixel 7

Can you try please if the DJI Fly app works with this beta? 🙏🏼

He had some level of concussion. All the symptoms are there. Unfortunately scans don’t ever show a concussion but hopefully the scans were used to rule out further damage and bleeding.

Is there kernel 6.1 and baseband version updates?

Love that Google finally implemented private space into Android. Samsung's implementation is a bit better. Your private space is an app which you can customize to blend in with your other apps, rather than a space within your app drawer.

You missed the new vibration mode that uses the microphone to adjust to your vibration depending on where it at.

With this update I lost all my home screens. The widgets stayed. All my apps are back in the app drawer. I've had the same setup for years. Is there a way of getting it back besides trying to remember what app went where on 7 pages? I used to have a second phone set up exactly the same to use as a reference. But it was stolen.🥺 I guess this motivates me to buy another pixel to sync up to this phone's profile and hopefully the app positions will reappear.😅

There isn't any app lock option in stock android 😢

For the private space, can we install 2 same apps? like whatsapp or telegram or IG?

they need to fix dpi scaling or whatever when I force my phone UI to be smaller in dev options usually everything scales right but the news app when swiping right on home screen doesn't scale right and leaves black bars on the side

What pixel are you using?

Correct me if I'm wrong but Private Space sounds like Google's iteration of Secure Folder

What we want is more Security features. Privacy among apps. Private Space is a good step towards that but much more is required.

how much does it do on geekbench?

Why not bring back the ability to customize icon shape which they randomly decided to remove, and utilize the "AI" capabilities of the tensor to override all apps to look like themed icons, you know, like in lawnchair.

How is private space different from the secure folder on Samsung??

Does having Beta version cause any major issues? I'm a normal phone user- basic tasks. Should I Opt in Beta or not? I have Pixel 8. What do you suggest? PS- I like having early access to new features

Is double-tap to turn off not really a thing with Pixels? Not really a fan of using third party app to do this.

I downloaded this but don't see the same features, did you have to enable anything?

That contrast customisation should have been implemented in Android 12

"Private space" is something that any samsung has since almost ten years.. Well done google, finally.

I was wishing for a way to finally be able to remove the google search bar at the bottom and the "at a glance" fixed widget... I guess it will never happen.

Where can I find "Routines" in Gemini?

4:57 Google finally has the feature that other OEMs have had since forever

I'm glad the private space has finally been added, it is long overdue.

Google has not brought down the brightness slider down yet from the drop down quick panel yet? All android smartphones do that.

:The issue I have after I update my pixel 6 pro beta 2 I cant hear any income calls. the speak not louder like before

Why I dont have this adaptive vibration in settings? Pixel 6 android 15 beta 2

private space is like secure folder from samsung?

I can't remove the clock icon on the lock screen. What is this?

When it comes to Android 15, I still have a Moto G 30 with Android 12.

Updated my Pixel 7 to Android 15 - Selecting 'Sound & Vibration' in 'System Settings' crashes 'System Settings'

Had Google sooved the issue with hotspot? It's still not working on their pixel phones

Damn, Pixel devices are really behind in terms of software features when you compare them with Samsung One UI devices.. Everything shown here was already on Samsung for years now. Also "Good Lock" is a godsend for customizing everything about the device.

What your device??

There's a bug on quick shared. Force close . Can't send files 😅

I really hate the new (taller) volume slider - using the phone one handed just got worse...

I can't find the adaptive vibration seriously but when I search it appears

Private space is same as Samsung's Secure Folder.

A curious question: Are there people over eighty years of age who are very elderly people who own modern smart phones???!!

One thing, that i hate is the apps page, it's not necessary 😂😂 Android should think in put the apps in other place, or make this apps page more comfortable. 😅😅

Ios 18 features! Please 🙏

Combine the telephoto lens in Brother 4k video Pixel 6 Pro
