Android 15’s first beta was limited to just select Google Pixel smartphones. At the ongoing I/O 2024 developers conference, Google released the second beta, now available for select Pixel smartphones and devices from OEM partners such as OnePlus, Nothing, Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi, and more.

The key features of Android 15 Beta 2 include lower app-launch time, reduced power draw during app launch, faster camera launch, and faster system boot time. With Beta 2, Google is also improving how various services can access the GPU. The company also standardised OpenGL implementation to improve compatibility and performance in some cases.
