Android 15 is a big deal ✨ 

Yeah.... Updates for the past couple of years have been pretty meh.

So most probably it will be a boring update

It is fun already.

It's boring since Android 10

Yea at this point xda may as well have sold out to google

😂😂😂 it's more than Ai but Ai is Google theme

Look through the AOSP commit logs if you want to see what ships in Android 15.

Lol I disabled them day 1

But some queries its really useful. There are different use case scenarios.

Honestly as a student I find that extremely useful. I don't have to scroll around websites for an answer. Its just there summarised for me. And 97 percent of the time it's right

AI search results are the best

​@@user-lz3zt8iq4ftotally agree. I realized that people are gonna hate, not for any logical reason but just because they can.

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.

I'd say maybe more stability but let's be real this is google. They're gonna fuck it up somehow. What I'd like to see is some more comprehensive OS level SD card support instead of leaving it to manufacturers 🤡it's external storage bro it's not that complicated. Or atleast it shouldn't be when you're making the worlds most popular OS.

@@kosztaz87 same here but I'm gonna get a new phone at some point I know it's inevitable... LG v60 user here

@@LindonSlaght V60?! I wasn't aware they made a lot more of these. I had a v20 for a while, it went to shit for various reasons but damn I loved that phone.

@@LindonSlaght I use a Sony Xperia, they still have headphone jack and SD card support even on their flagship devices. Check them out, I think they are the closest brand to what LG used to offer. Their pricing is insane though, you have to wait for Black Friday or some other deal, as out of the gate they are very overpriced.

In Oneplus and Xiaomi...you can remove internet acces from apps, even some system apps. I disabled internet access for google play services.

​@@arkvsi8142 Can you block wifi for all BBK and Xiaomi spywares? I guess not. Lol...

No company has done anything “special” including Samsung. Phones are meant for texting, calling, browsing the web and using apps and some other things in between, not sure what you or others expect. People want “ fun and interesting” then go to Samsung even though it’s full of bloatware and has settings for settings and has too much junk just to do certain things.

@@pattycarljackson You didn't get the comment. These are basic needs. I don't know why this comment has triggered you? There is nothing permanent except 'Change'. It's the reason people have witnessed journey from landlines to smartphones.

Whats that old meme? Google - we take and sell your data. Apple - we pretend to not take and sell your data. lol

@@Jack908r Both can be true. Tbh if google's gonna be shoving this AI crap down our throats I might be forced to degoogle cause I am SO not interested. However I do want a new phone. Thank god for adb and root.

​@@Jack908r aint even just data, im so salty about how they randomly kill products. so many of them had potential... + they had a huge team of geniuses prior to layoffs. how is it such a mess

​@@Jack908r a small correction, Google doesn't sell your data. They sell the fact that they have your data and can target specifically you for the needs/wants you have, because they have your data lol. What would be the point of selling the data?

Opera does that

More like Android 12.3

Indeed, Privace Space was inspired on Samsung's approach. It will be "universal" now

LG had the audio switched in notification shade before samsung but you don't hear people talking about that. Of course that's a small thing but there are more examples. All I'm tryna say is no one cares companies copy eachother all the time that's just business.

with the caveat that you have to be signed into your Samsung account to actually use it

my 7 year old lenovo k3 note had that, they are just reintroducing old stuff and saying as if they invented new shit.

Yeah, it's weird that the narrator is British and he's talking about things which aren't available in his country like they're available to everyone.

When GCHQ has its backdoor.

@@somethingelse1987 Weirdly enough, I summoned Assistant the other day and got a popup asking me to try Gemini. So now I have the app. It still doesn't appear in my Messages app though.

with Pixel 9 release, or week or two before.

I've been saying this for some time. Apple is becoming more -androidish- while droid is becoming more and more conservative. Still none of them are there but...

Use a different launcher

while google during android 15, ops we cant resolve it, lets see you in android 16, keep the shit we created to your self in the mean time

lol they will be unless google issues an OTA. Which they probably won't because like most sane companies google likes money lol.

Looks like a fairphone 5 but I could be wrong

It's the Honor magic 6 pro

Believe it or not, if you use non-spyware based OSes, ad-blockers, and sock accounts, the ads you'll see are mostly irrelevant. It's absolutely possible (even easy after you get used to it) to minimize surveillance. If you're too lazy to figure it out just say so instead of saying it "doesn't matter."

Brain-dead consumers, aka 90% of the population.

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.

They give you other gestures as well.

​@@sudhakar7889what other gestures u r talking about?

​@@ravitejakntscircle to search? I've been using the hell out that feature since it dropped. Super handy to translate text on the fly and other stuff

Which ugly and unnecessary navigation bar? I actually use the top bar every day and it’s very useful to me

@@zekiz774 i guess he is talking about the bottom bar that you use for navigation. Some apps are not optimised for that bar. So he might be complaining about it.

The on device ai is the best consumers can hope for and youre complaining? The only that changes is that phones will need chips for it and thats already happing and better chips will be in New phones without ai aswell lol

12 and 14, yes

Ok now you will teach Google what to call and not to call

@@aryanagrawal5329 LLMs are okay at pattern recognition with some statistical analysis, but they lack true understanding of the data they process. They can't reason logically, draw meaningful conclusions, or grasp the nuances of context and intent.

99% of the things that are marketed as AI are not really AI, but they are still components of it. ML is not AI, OCR and OMR are not, and the list goes on... But since they are techniques used for it, and are really the anablers of it, they are AI too. Marketing is and always will be for average customer, and average customer sees all of those terms as balck magic, heck even us (devs and IT people) see them as black magic too.

It's a big deal for google not so much for us

What's so funny?

​@@kosztaz87 how long have you been hip to xda

@@TheSkepticalHammer I barely know XDA, but I know people who have deeper technological knowledge and interest regarding smartphones tend to go there.

Set the video to play slower if your brain cant follow

@ArdaSReal at least I got through it. Your 🧠 probably fried a quarter of the way through! So stfu!
