I really don’t get why you beed those multiple sound sliders. It’s just so complex. One global control is completely enough.
@enadegheeghaghe6369

Sometimes you want to set up different volume levels for notifications, music apps, videos and keyboard tap sounds. It’s a useful feature

This is what happens when you run faster than your shadow. Android 15 doesn’t have any new features 😂😂😂😂😂 while iOS 18 is coming with some spices update, while creating room for next year ios 19
Up every time everyday

Private space so that it can be easier for people to cheat in a relationship and hide it easier. Kinda sad. Technology has ruined relationships and I’m sure most people will agree if they think about it 😞

Ummm so NO major changes AT ALL?! Or is it just me? The only big change for me is the volume UI?! ☠

Seems like the features from google are features that you can get on samsung.
So the 15 theme is google copying what Samsung has already done.
Sounds like google is taking the apple approach to phones. lol.

It’s not just Google making contributions to android project, Samsung does too and other aswell. Google then maintains its own custom version of android on its pixel devices, in fact the pixel stock os has proprietary features that are exclusive to pixels and not back ported to aosp project.

When new technologies arise, they are first incorporated in custom android versions made by companies, and after years when a technology has become more standard then it’s incorporated in base android

I am a big android fan but almost all of those features are already on Samsung phones.
Secure folder, Good lock, … plus all the AI features that Google doesn’t have or you have to pay for it , seriously , your are behind the time dears!

I like how you called those volume bars “Big Chunky Bars” and not just gave it random name like “Hotdog bar” or something like that.

Where’s lock screen widgets ? I refuse to believe this is it… the only think I could think is that google engineers are really tied up with ai right now and android 15 is kind of a second thought, backend expansion ):
@kujas

Samsung user are laughing at this
@sonny_wiess

Oh, so the restructuring did effect how android is developed. Damn. I’m kinda already sick of AI And I feel like only investors care at this point.

In all honesty, some features that Samsung has added on their phones are way underrated and praises needs to be given to them, They are far in innovation than other phone companies

I wish we could customize the notifs panel more in our pixel.
@VOIDMW

Some of these features should have been implemented within apps like Google files.

The “Private Space” feature allows for some interesting functionality… 0:46
– if you want, you can have multiple accounts for the same App
– paired with the “Archive” feature you can have one essentially disabled version in addition to the Private Space version (which I like, aesthetically)
A couple things I’d like to see added are:
– a Quick Settings toggle so that we can hide it from the App Drawer & trigger it more conveniently than manually going through the settings each time
– the ability to drag the Private Space Apps to my Homescreen and have them appear/disappear based on lock state

I like the UI changes but it’s getting worst from a UX point, adding tap to tap
@rob.36
May 19, 2024 at 6:15 pm
Almost all of these features are already available on my S24U with Android 14. Even app pairs, although you said it is only available for the galaxy fold and tab models. The only new features are preditive back, the screenrecording feature and the design update for the volume bar..

Literally just Samsung features but now part of native android
