Android 15 Beta 4: Final test run before launch
Key Points:
- Google releases the final Android 15 beta for Pixel phones.
- New features are locked in, app developers can finalize their apps.
- Stable Android 15 arrives on August 13th.
Google has just unveiled the fourth and final beta version of Android 15, its upcoming mobile operating system. This test run is open to owners of Pixel smartphones and tablets. The official launch of Android 15 is scheduled for August 13th, coinciding with the unveiling of the new Pixel phones.
Earlier beta versions of Android 15 introduced exciting features like Private Spaces for extra privacy and improved video playback. With beta 3, the core functions of the new system were solidified, allowing app developers to polish their apps for compatibility. Beta 4 is primarily focused on ironing out any remaining issues.
One notable change in this beta is the removal of older emoji images. Android has been using modern, scalable emojis for a few years now, and this update ensures that all apps use the same style.
If you’re eager to try out the latest Android features, you can download beta 4 on your eligible Pixel device. However, keep in mind that it’s still a test version and might have some bugs. For most users, it’s probably best to wait for the official release in August.
Other smartphone manufacturers are also gearing up for the Android 15 launch. Companies like Samsung, OnePlus, and Honor are already testing their custom versions of the operating system.
