Other models, apart from Samsung, will receive the update shortly.
Android 15 comes with many new features that allow you to do more with your phone. Here are five of the most important.
1. Theft protection
If your phone is taken out of your hand, it should now lock automatically. With the help of AI, the mobile phone can detect if it has been stolen. It can also lock itself when someone turns off the internet in your phone.
You can unlock your phone as usual if you happen to trigger anti-theft.

2. Private apps and folders
Now you can lock specific apps with a code, making them unable to be opened by anyone using your phone except you.
In addition, you will be able to hide folders of apps from being seen on your phone. It can be good to do with, for example, your banking apps.
In order to access the private folder, you must verify that it is you through a password or fingerprint recognition.
3. Record only one app
With Android 15, you can record the screen of just one app, so that nothing else appears in the recording.
The function means that you don’t have to edit as much in your recording and reduces the risk that you accidentally receive sensitive information.

4. Better PDF documents
Do you read PDF documents on your phone? The new update makes the experience better.
Soon you will be able to search for specific words in documents, add comments and lock PDF files.
5. Better camera
The camera is also improved in Android 15. The preview should now be much clearer when you try to take a picture in the dark.
In addition, you can now more precisely adjust how strong the flash will be before filming or taking photos.
