One UI 7 has many new great features that stock Android will get after years or never and cool animations, so i don't mind waiting for a couple of months. Stock Android looks like Android 12.6.
One UI is the issue! When you have all those customization settings and then they try to update the phone they run into way more bugs than Google does! Samsung has gotten better with updates but all the people that used to say Samsung updates their phones faster than Google does that has never been true! You don't buy Samsung to get timely updates you by Samsung for the features! If you want timely updates get an iPhone or a pixel!
Great video as usual. Just a little feedback about the wallpaper app, 1. wallpapers are not aligned in the center after being applied. This is predominantly visible with the new sun/mountain based wallpapers. 2. Applying the blur option to the wallpapers introduces visible dots like patterns in the wallpaper. Especially if you maximise the blur option. It would be great if the above mentioned are fixed. Thanks.
Dude the release has been out merely a few hours and you're saying battery drain is an issue 😂 it takes time to adjust. Another thing the bugs you have on yours are not on mine. I'm running A16 Beta 1 on my pixel 9 pro which I clean installed.
Do you want to make a video about your Pixels (what models do you have) and how do you work with the systems? When I'm watching your videos about changes in Android I think that you have to reinstall the system at least once a week on all your Pixels to show us changes in Android 15, Android 16, then again Android 15 because of for example feature drop for Pixels, then once again Android 16 because of new beta/more discovered features/anything else. HOW?! How can you manage this and meanwhile you still can tell us how's the battery after a week or two of using the specific version of the system? (Of course aforementioned Android versions are just an example)
Your phone probably needs a factory reset because on my pixel 8 pro, the beta is totally stable. I updated from QPR beta to Android 16 and I almost forget at times that I am on A16 beta, due to the stability and buglessness. Good review anyhow.
Please give an option to change the wallpaper through other apps in your app. I applied the same wallpaper as you have in this video but it's not aligned in the center as you have it.
You did get the Live Notifications feature in this beta lol.... just no app has implemented it yet since it literally just released which is why you aren't seeing anything...
In which android version Google include double tap to screen off, one slide for brightness, smooth animation between different camera lens in video etc.
I honestly hope Android AOSP eventually removes this tired 3 button layout & brings back the old swipe up for home/(hold)recent with back-button layout from Android 10 as the 2nd option to pure gestures. The 2-button layout was more aesthetically pleasing than the 3 button layout & intuitive.
Stock android has gotten so much optimization and I love it but its just too stale right now Following in the footsteps of iOS is welcome, if they at least get it up to par with iOS in efficiency
@Galaxykid. Well for me I am not much of a heavy gamer but it sure goes well .. but I'll advise that you don't try it out now maybe later due to some bugs ... I am not a very heavy user that's why I can tolerate some bugs around the update .. still stick to the android 15 still until beta 2 or 3 of the android 16
Minor update for users, major pain for developers. Android continues to remove developer freedom so that every app looks the same. They just would like everyone to make apps that look identical. They never consider minority use cases when they make decisions. Ex. Remove the ability to lock screen rotation seems like a good idea for large screens but any app that uses a compass has to deal with a degraded user experience. Annoyed with another release that will add more unnecessary work.
You make me notice that not having haptics for this one helps my brain differentiate the gesture from the currently open apps gesture. How do you know that the gesture is the one you wanted to do, if your brain has no feedback to differentiate? It helps a lot in learning gestures. Ergonomically I think it's a bad idea to remove that difference between gestures.
@@klevkaisetsu4883 Samsung has haptics for all control gestures. And it works well. If all gestures have haptics except only one, i can only guess that they forgot about it or just ignore it because they're busy making ai features.
3:20 cybersecurity assitant here! There's no need to hide your IP, thats a local IP, its just for your devices in local network. (btw nobody can do nothing with the public ip also)
"Finally here"? Are you serious? It's way ahead of its actual release date. Don't make it sound like we were waiting for it. Appreciate that they released a little earlier than usual.
Google:" Back gestures and boot up animation... Welcome to Android 16" ... It seems to me they are running out of ideas. They could have at least the bare MINIMUM allow me to remove the google search bar and at a glance. Maybe some customization like icon packs, fingerprint animations etc. Google wake up
They removed vibration intensity slider in gboard and still no ability to hide useless navigation pill. 50mp only for latest pro models. And much more👎👎👎
Hello Mr. Emad Hussein, I have Google Pixels, especially the Pixel 9 Pro. I am in Ivory Coast. Can you help me how to buy Pixel 9 Pro from Ivory Coast? Thank you very much.
Send Google this feedback: YT Music on Lock screen (double tap on the right side of it to move forward on the song and left side of it to back on the song) it's already like this in UA-cam and Yotube music. But it would be nice to be able to use it on the lock screen itself.
We don't even have android 15 and ui 7 fully rolled out yet I have s24 ultra and I live in Canada we aren't under the beta country thing so I'm still waiting on the update but yet ur trying to run Android 16 of course it's gonna run like crap it's still to early to try and run it but what do i know
my question is why google phone anymore.samsung has best impressive ai features like in google and more than that.if both are at same price even gemini looks good in new samsung with bixbi integration.so why google.google must give google only features.other wise i dont need it anymore
These kind of updates used to be 9.0.1. now it's a whole new android version from 15 to 16!
really
They're doing a dick measuring contest with apple
thanks for keeping these short and to the point. you're goated
And Samsung is yet to release Android 15...this is just criminal by samsung
Samsung just released S25 lineups with A15. Also A16 for Pixel looks like A14.2
Facts
I prefer a stable system I don’t mind to have the very last version of Android

Noted
There were times when new android release version meant new redesign, now new button is added and they are releasing it as new version
This is literally Android 12.4 😭😭😭😭👎🏽👎🏽
I can't believe iPhone lock screen basically shit all over the pixel lock screen. They didn't care to improve it
Android already has everything that it needs, is not like Apple that needs to catch up with a lot of shit that's why they release more things
no wonder they're promising 7 years of updates if the updates look like this 😂😂
It has new animations and more features than before
They are the same on material u but they aren't the same
They just playing the catch up game 😂
Sound and volume sounds louder and clearer on my pixel 9 fold with this new beta
Theres also a slight change in the appearing and disappearing animation of the sound bar
exciting!
@@TheJunky228 🤣
It would be nice to have a complete overview of all new features. So including those from the DPs. Maybe when Beta 2 or 3 comes out.
Status bar icons still the same as in 2012...
Please Google ringtone sync vibration bring back this feature..why remove in android 15?

Lol So true. Gonna take a good week to really know.
Same Design just the number change 💀😂

Another Android 12 minor update.
What's wrong with it? I don't need every time UI change just for the sake of change.
@SomeUnremarkableGuy at least give us useful and meaningful features
cope @@AIejandroide
@@AIejandroide what would be useful
@@AIejandroide useful and meaningful features like what? can you name a few?
U can get linux from developer options in android 16, thats what i love about it :)
Gracias Crack por casi llego actualizar a Androi 16.
Puse pausa en la actualización , espero dure esa pausa hasta que salga una mejor actualización
I'm still saying that Google could bring us more lock screen clocks or at least let us install new ones from the Play Store. This is so sad...
Your phone probably needs a factory reset because on my pixel 8 pro, the beta is totally stable. I updated from QPR beta to Android 16 and I almost forget at times that I am on A16 beta, due to the stability and buglessness.
Good review anyhow.
I hope they'll give us the option to have a regular brightness lock screen and home screen even on power saving mode.
Works fine on my pixel 8a. The first bug you mentioned didn't appear on my side plus battery is also okay.
what is your phone case type， where do you get？
"And so without further ado, let's jump in"; proceeds to talk about further ado.
U forgot to talk about Linux in Android 16, u can enable it from developer options.
Thanks for the overview!
themed icons are now back in beta
Thanks to Adding performance and smoothness part,
My dude! You are on it!
All I need to know, delivered quickly. I won't be going from QPR2 to this. Thanks.
Google's should Make the fingerprint icon and lockscreen icon transparent because it ruins the lock screen wallpaper and doesn't look good at all .
Nice wallpapers ❤ Proud user of wallpaper app
The fact that android 15 hasn't been released fully. 😂😂😂
I have a Pixel 9 Pro and the feature of the charging cycles was already since its launch.
4:15 I don't think it's a bug it's a feature i guess 😅 . which helps you to differentiate what's on the quick settings and not
Please give an option to change the wallpaper through other apps in your app. I applied the same wallpaper as you have in this video but it's not aligned in the center as you have it.

Interesting, I do not have one of the bugs you showed
But my device language is german, so maybe that changes the issue of the Date/time issue
Battery count is even here in the non beta version of android 15 habibi.
In which android version Google include double tap to screen off, one slide for brightness, smooth animation between different camera lens in video etc.
great video as always! Btw can you share source of your wallpaper?
It's his own wallpaper app. There's a link in the videos description

Are banking apps working with this beta 1?
android update has been lackluster every year now, nothing new and always google cramming AI crap wherever unnecessary
I don't see the bugs on notification, pixel 7 here
There's a new option to unlock using fingerprint with the screen turned off. But only on Pixel 9 series.
Not new to this build, I mentioned this before
Android 16,17 & 18 was already launch in the year of 1989, in Dragon Ball Z Kai
Stock android has gotten so much optimization and I love it but its just too stale right now
Following in the footsteps of iOS is welcome, if they at least get it up to par with iOS in efficiency
it runs as smooth as peanut butter on my pixel 9
I am currently installing the android 16
What are the new features in terms of gaming?
@Galaxykid. Well for me I am not much of a heavy gamer but it sure goes well .. but I'll advise that you don't try it out now maybe later due to some bugs ... I am not a very heavy user that's why I can tolerate some bugs around the update .. still stick to the android 15 still until beta 2 or 3 of the android 16
No desktop mode improvement?
It took me about 1 minute to install moving from 15 QPR2 latest Beta from 2 days ago.
I had no issues when I updated my pixel 8 with Android 16 beta one and no battery drain

Just updated to A16 and got sos satellite in the UK
Is linux environment availble in this build?
Does it have Annoying notification feature?
there no battery information section on my pixel 7 so i guess thats an pixel 9 exclusive
I hope this Android doesnt gets killed by Cell
Did they add haptic for swipe up to go to homescreen gesture? All gestures have haptics except this one.
No they didn't
Also Gboard for some reason doesn't have haptics when you press the backspace key. It's pretty odd.

How do you know that the gesture is the one you wanted to do, if your brain has no feedback to differentiate? It helps a lot in learning gestures.

I thought Android 16 would have a different notification center 😢
The files app can't open documents in Beta 1.
"Finally here"? Are you serious? It's way ahead of its actual release date. Don't make it sound like we were waiting for it. Appreciate that they released a little earlier than usual.
Finally here because it's at the end of the month which is not common, usually comes on the 15th
Looks exactly the same as previously versions of android , after android nougat every android update as been minor.
That because Android already is mature and has everything unlike IOS still playing catch up
3:30 I can see the battery cycle on my pixel 9 pro XL running android 15.
Google:" Back gestures and boot up animation... Welcome to Android 16" ... It seems to me they are running out of ideas. They could have at least the bare MINIMUM allow me to remove the google search bar and at a glance. Maybe some customization like icon packs, fingerprint animations etc. Google wake up
You can do all that by installing another launcher.
It's out already? I just got Android 15 stable like 10 days ago on my Nothing Phone 1 💀
Things are even worse on phones from other OEMs lol.
How to get this wallpaper link 🔗 please
They removed vibration intensity slider in gboard and still no ability to hide useless navigation pill. 50mp only for latest pro models. And much more👎👎👎
Now this android UI is so annoying. They need to switch to good looking UI design.
I’ll wait for beta 2 or 3 to download
Sensible...

The App Drawer makes the phone look generic and boring. It deserves a redesign.
All the bugs you mentioned I don't have them
no dragon ball reference:(
I don't have the clock bug on pixel 9
I still didn't get the 15 and 16 beta is already out!!! 😒
Nothing has changed 15 to 16
Bro... Gemini ai also changed
The google home app is crashing for me. I'm using pixel 9
Imagine getting android 16 before Samsung release Android 15 😀 What a shame Samsung! 😀
Come si può scaricare?
I have tried installing it in my P7P and now is not turning ON lmao
Seriously!
Great vid!
Battery information not showing up on Pixel 6a.
Whats new in terms of gaming in this new beta on the pixel 6?
@Galaxykid. I don't know. I don't do games. 😁 Sorry.
I also have a Pixel 6a should i update from Android 15 to 16?
@SaadTuber You should wait until the stable version is released. My 6a is a secondary phone. That's why I've got 16 beta on it.
Themed icons are still marked as beta?... Omg it's like a joke already...
All your bugs are not there for me
Did you clean flash bud? I don't have any of them either
Same
@@Terry.McNally No, just installed via OTA, was debating on clean flashing but decided not to. Still no issues
I don't even have Android 15 yet 😭
I like how you've made this video, but it was absolutely unnecessary. There's nothing very significant
Keep it up sir
Samsung is so behind dude, and yet one ui 7 released at unfinished state on s25 lol
Here I decided not to go with android 16 now may be can start use from April
And i still don't have one ui 7
3:55 i dont have these problems on my p9pro
