    Limiting charging to 80% is something I've been waiting for on Pixel for years and one of the main reasons I just barely switched to an S24. Of course the feature arrives now, of all times.

      ​@@sandeepnath1609 The reason Google is doing it this way is to build an OS with a clear design language and minimalist feel without it feeling cluttered. They only add features when they can implement them in a way that makes sense with this language. Unfortunately this comes at the expense of power users who are missing features that are standard on most other phones, but this way Android could get past its reputation of being for geeks and actually start competing with Apple. Apple has been doing this ever since the start of iOS which is why it's pretty far ahead of Android at this point (imo).

    the best feature of android 15 so far is something no one has talked about, something i've asked for, for a while. Now, it could be one of those "server side switches" that are slow to get to everyone but as soon as I upgraded to android 15 i noticed the circle to select now has a "Share" option. this shares just the bit of the screen you selected, basically taking a screenshot and sharing that. Basically it circumvents the need to take a screenshot, crop it then save it just to share once. This is SO GREAT, i end up taking screenshots of so many things on my screen to share on social media or to my friends and i always hate how i have to take a screenshot and save it first, because it means my phone gets flooded with random screenshots i only used that one time. maybe it's just me, but this is smthg i've been asking for, for a WHILE. The only thing that'd make it better is a "copy" button right next to the share.

    Every brand using Android is getting widely different from each other. It feels like there isn't anymore collective teamwork between android makers.
    Android 15 is the android 12 with more features. Since the version 12, everything looks and feels the same as the 13, 14 and probably 15.
    Google is going to close the acces on some APK, roms, etc. Why it is deciding to be so restrictive while Apple is opening more doors ? I'm not an apple user and i'm more excited for their keynotes and releases.

I always end up disconnecting both WiFi and data because the slider is so small, it usually always takes me 2 or 3 tries.

    With private space it would have made sense that when hidden you can use a custom name to search for it to appear. Far more secure that using a generic name that some in the know will be aware of.

    I'm updating as I type this. Most excited for the charge limiter to 80%. Now I can slow charge and stop at 80% over the night and not worry about sitting at 100%. Plus the 5W charging will further keep battery health tip-top.

      It's good that it's a standalone feature now. However, I've always been using the adaptive charging feature wherein it locks charging at 80% and completes full charge by the set alarm.

      I used my phone with 66w charging with battery health being around 84% after the 3 year period. And I'm a pretty heavy user as well. Charging with a 5w charger won't make much difference other than wasting time. And I'm pretty sure newer phones, at least the mid to upper range detect your usage pattern and charge the battery accordingly, for example if I leave my phone charging throughout the night, it stops charging at 80% and tops up the rest when I'm about to wake up.

    It’s a tough choice because I want the best possible performance in both photos and videos on a smartphone. However, everywhere I turn, people keep telling me that the iPhone is the king of video, while the Pixel is the king of photography. It’s frustrating.
    Why isn’t there a device that excels at both, outperforming everyone else? It feels like each brand is perfecting only one area, leaving consumers like me having to compromise when what we really want is an all-in-one solution.

    4:15 Xiaomi had this solved years ago with a different UI. You get a floating button that isn't recorded when you record your screen. When you want to stop you just tap the button and that's it, no need to pull down the notifications. You can also pause the recording and resume later. IMHO Xiaomi's UI is by far the best I've used so far
