The first developer preview is available starting today, with public betas arriving early this spring as Google works toward platform stability in June. A handful of the updates relate to Android’s Dynamic Performance Framework that helps manage how power-intensive apps interact with the phone’s power system. These tweaks aim to help the device better respond to demands on its GPU, CPU, and thermal systems, and help apps with long-running background tasks operate with power efficiency. Not exactly exciting stuff but important to overall performance.
Other updates center on privacy, including stronger protections against malware sneaking into app files. Android 15 also includes the latest version of the Privacy Sandbox — that’s an ongoing initiative to find ways for apps to leverage targeted ads that maintain some semblance of user privacy in a post-cookiepocalyptic world.
It’s not all privacy and performance optimization, though. There’s support for the partial screen recording feature introduced in one of Android 14’s quarterly platform release betas, allowing you to record just the content of an app rather than your whole screen. Android 15 also improves the camera experience in third-party apps, something Samsung has been working on recently, too. Low-light image previews will benefit from some additional processing so they appear brighter — more like what you’ll see after you push the shutter button. App developers will also be able to access flash controls to adjust the intensity.
