What to Expect in the Android 15 BetaÂ
Both OxygenOS 15 Beta and ColorOS 15 Beta will be based on the Android 15 Beta versions. They are rumored to introduce several innovative features. Among them are:
- Separate Control Center: A new, distinct control center that enhances user customization and ease of access.
- Redesigned Floating Windows: Improved multitasking capabilities with redesigned floating windows.
- Custom Lock Screen: Greater personalization options with a custom lock screen.
- GPU Interpolation Technology: Fancy GPU tweaks aimed at optimizing the visual performance.
- Improved System Animations: Smoother and more refined animations throughout the system.
ColorOS 15 is also expected to bring:
- Live Photos Feature: Similar to Apple’s Live Photos, it will capture 1.5 seconds before and after a picture is taken.
- AirDrop-Like Feature: This will facilitate seamless file transfers between Android and Apple devices, although iOS users will need a specific app to enable this feature.
- Dynamic Island-Like Feature: Oppo may introduce a feature akin to Apple’s Dynamic Island, with enhanced customization and a centralized design, potentially integrated with the camera module.
With these beta programs now live, users of the OnePlus 12 and Oppo Find X7 Ultra can be among the first to experience the new features of Android 15 through their respective custom OS versions. Though, this is a “Closed” Beta, hence a select number of people will be selected. If you’re an experienced tester or just eager to try out the latest software, then don’t delay signing up for the beta test. The public beta testing should also start in the coming months. However, it is advised to wait for a stable version for a better experience and to avoid major bugs/glitches.
