Android 15 Beta Here, But When Can We Expect One UI 7.0 Beta?
Google started working on Android 15 a long time ago and has already rolled out two developer previews on Android 15. With the latest development, it has also rolled out the first beta update of the latest Android OS iteration for the Pixel devices. Now, here we are waiting for the One UI 7 based on Android 15, but it will be available in the next few months.
Android 15 Have many new features
With the last two developer previews, Google has already hinted about several new functionalities that will be available under Android 15. Now, with its first beta update, the company has showcased several new functionalities. Such a Samsung Dex-like desktop UI makes the application compatible with the full-screen mode. It has added more options for cellular and Wi-Fi networks to increase security. It also added more settings for note-taking, wallet apps, and more. Let’s explore them all.
Full-screen apps
Google has made its default app compatible with full-screen mode, and it has applied a full desktop-type feel. Applications will get a status bar at the top and the navigation bar at the bottom float over the Apple with the translucency effects.
Taking notes directly from the lock screen
Samsung smartphones with the S Pen already come with the feature of taking notes from the lock screen, but the stock version of Android didn’t support this feature. Now Google has finally installed this feature.
The company has proposed an API that app developers and OEMs can use to make apps that can become default note-taking apps on a phone or tablet.
Default wallet app settings
As of now, the stock version of Android has the option to set an app as the phone’s default, and now, with Android 15, it will also start supporting setting the wallet application to use as the default.
More Wi-Fi security options
In the Wi-Fi network menu, there will be a new toggle added,’send’device name’. When the user enables this feature, it will hide the device name from the Wi-Fi access point or router.
Cellular network security
To enhance cellular network security, there is a new feature called ‘Cellular network security’. It will provide information about the cellular network and notify you if the cellular network you are connected to lacks data encryption or if it records the phone’s IMEI or IMSI.
If all these features arrive on One UI 7.0
As Google prepares these features for Android devices, it is possible for the Galaxy device to arrive by default. But Samsung has the authority to represent these features with its One UI 7.0 skin, and it is also possible that it may hold some features and give them with the next One UI 7.1 update.
