As always happens, Google promises productivity improvements, greater privacy and security, as well as smoother performance and some other new features for folding devices with larger screens.
After having fallen into my hands, although I have not had time to examine it in depth to discover all the secrets it hides (which are not few), I have already been able to try some of its new functions, and the truth is that there are 4 that I like. they have won.
The best of Android 15
From inside the whole string with more than 50 news that will reach all mobile phones compatible with the Google operating systemWithout a doubt, I’ll stick with these:
Private space
Yes, we are talking about a tool that could already be found in some of the customization layers based on Android, but in the latest version of Google’s operating system, the way to save secret or confidential things that you do not want others to see seems very convenient to me and intuitive.
If someone uses your phone with (or without) permission, Private Space requires you to enter an additional PIN to unlock it. It is in this place where you can store applications, notes, files and more items that you want to keep out of the reach of prying eyes. In fact, When Private Space is locked, your apps won’t even appear in the “Recent” tabยป and notifications from the corresponding applications will not appear on your screen. They won’t appear in the settings either, so you’ll have to unlock it completely to modify anything.
Peer Applications
One of the more practical features of Android 15 is the ability to create pairs of pre-established apps that They open together in a split screen, ready to use with just a touch on the home screen.
It is an idea collected from other third-party apps and is quite useful on a daily basis. For example, imagine that with one click you open an Excel document and the calculator at the same time. Or Netflix and WhatsApp to share impressions of your favorite series. Quite a shortcut.
New volume panel
The latest version of Google operating system It seems like the answer to the criticism from users who complain that controlling different media in Android 14 was not the most intuitive thing in the world.
That’s why now Android 15 adds an improved volume panel to the operating system, with larger, easier-to-adjust sliders for specific types of media volumes, as well as a more noticeable button for switching audio output from the phone itself to any connected device.
Making it difficult for thieves
If you like protect your mobile from lovers of other people’s things, The revamped theft detection lock also uses Gemini to protect your device: AI can detect if a thief approaches you, steals your phone, and runs off with it. If Gemini detects that your phone is suddenly moving at high speed, it will automatically lock it.
Not only that, but the automatic lock It will also activate if your phone records too many failed login attempts or if it is off the network for a certain period of time, preventing the thief from resetting your device to factory settings to access it without knowing your password. or your Google account credentials.
