During the recent Google Pixel smartphone launch event, Android users were surprised to find that Android 15’s source code had been released on the Android Open Source Project website, a departure from the usual announcement tradition. Despite its absence from the event, Android 15 promises exciting new features such as smart volume adjustment and dynamic range compression, particularly for devices from various manufacturers like Samsung, OnePlus, and Xiaomi that will soon receive the update. Additionally, the developers are launching a new series called Spotlight Weeks to delve into technical details about Android 15 and its advancements, marking a shift from the dessert-themed naming conventions of previous Android versions. While the move towards more conventional branding and frequent updates may signal a more mature operating system, some users still long for the days of whimsical dessert names for each new Android release.
