Android 15 vs. 14: A boring update, but part of Google's bigger picture

Pixel owners are getting the best of Android 15, but that doesn't mean the rest of us get nothing.

It's the seemingly smallest update we've seen from the Android team yet, sporting a handful of new features with only a few that could be categorized as "headliners." Case in point, new Android 15 features like Private Space, the upgraded Bluetooth quick tile, a high-quality webcam for computers, multitasking enhancements for foldables, and true full-screen mode are all things found on the best Android phones from Samsung, OnePlus, Motorola, and others. While news of having to wait months used to be a huge problem, users of all of these phones can feel content in the knowledge that most of the best Android 15 features are already on their phones thanks to feature-rich skins like Samsung's One UI, OnePlus's Oxygen OS, and Motorola's Hello UI.
