Years ago, Google made fun of Microsoft saying they changed the UI and released it as a new version of windows. Basically what Google is doing now. They are under pressure to release and how many new features can you add anyway
And then people wonder why companies don't polish their products and instead make everything "AI", "HD" and "Ultra"? You demand it and you don't even know what. You just want "something new".

When the Android 15 beta program transitions to full public release, will you be able to seamlessly transition over to public release or do you stay on continous beta and need to wipe your phone in order to move over away from beta?
Hi Emad, my first comment to any video 😅 I hope you recognised your "secret friend" here ❤ Actually wanna mention one thing, esim transfer is now allowed in pixel for other pixel/android. If needed then please mention this in the upcoming video.
I saw a video thumbnail last month that the quick option tiles in the notification panel had white background with colored tiles resembling the style of the volume slider. Is it really a thing on Android 15 or it was just an edited picture? Would be nice if it was like that in light mode.
can you confirm if there's a screen stuttering issue when scrolling through apps like Twitter, Spotify on 120Hz? famous issue in android 13, 14 which they said they'll fix in android 15
I have pixel 6a..i think it's on the list!! I am not sure if i should opt in at the beta version!!!i heard on reddit there’s chance of data wipe out..should i just wait for the public release??
Hi Emad, my pixel's bluetooth connectivity is stopping intermittently, tried everything to solve it but nothing is happening. Should I wait for Android 15 or just send it in to the service centre
I doubt android 15 will fix it unless you're on the beta already... Sounds like a hardware issue. Id reset and if it still happens try safe mode .... If still happens it's definitely a hardware issues and need replacement or fix.
Scaling is horrible on pixel pixel phones. Can’t get right balance between screen zoom and font size. Either too small or everything gets truncated and ugly.
Can we get rid of the swipe gesture back button bubbles... I mean cmon it makes the phone look old and outdated, if you dont know how to us swipe gestures you need to stick to the 3 buttons

Thanks!
I have my phone set up like this too. The time in the top left corner doesn't show seconds. It's handy to have a second display on the home screen for numerous reasons. If however, I could get the top left clock to display seconds, it would make the clock widget redundant. Cheers!

I don't mind having a giant clock on the home page, even with seconds active lol.
As someone from Zambia, I understand that for people living in developed countries, it might be hard to dislike the Google Pixel. But for those of us in Africa, and many other parts of the world, it's all too easy. Google just doesn’t seem to care about markets like ours. They don’t sell here, and it's clear we’re not a priority. Sure, they cater to India, but that's only because of the country’s wealthy elite-a small group that gets overlooked due to the glaring inequality. But even then, Google doesn’t have an official presence there. They just ship the parts, and the local manufacturers handle the rest. For those living in places where the Pixel ecosystem is sold, it’s easy to love it. But for us, where it isn’t even available, we’re better off importing a Chinese phone or sticking with Samsung or Apple. The frustration of being overlooked by these big companies is real.
@@sjn_ I think the themed icons from Lawnchair are better, most apps work. What keeps me stuck in the Pixel Launcher is the possibility of copying stuff or using Google Lens from the recent apps.
