Android 15 review: Smooth operator

Android 15 Easter egg on Pixel 9 Pro XL, Pixel 9, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

Last year's Android update was tame by any standard; outside of a few customization options, tweaks to the Material You aesthetic, and the usual security updates, we didn't get many new features in Android 14. That's why I was excited when I installed the Android 15 beta earlier in the year; Google introduced over a dozen new features, including notification cooldown, battery charging limit, and so much more.  

There's just one problem: most of these features are missing in the stable release. Some features — like the ability to limit battery charging to 80% — have been pushed to the QPR1 released that's slated to arrive in December, and others are likely coming in next year's Android 16 release.
