thanks for keeping these short and to the point. you're goated

[taymourkiwan]

These kind of updates used to be 9.0.1. now it's a whole new android version from 15 to 16!

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.

I feel like Incremental updates should be like a smaller update not using a whole major update example
Android 12.1 12.3 etc

Status bar icons still the same as in 2012...

[soulwounder]

Sound and volume sounds louder and clearer on my pixel 9 fold with this new beta

[shepherdkamumvuri]

And Samsung is yet to release Android 15...this is just criminal by samsung

[Robin-ymjy]

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.

[Sharky_bs]

Theres also a slight change in the appearing and disappearing animation of the sound bar

[riyadbakhshiyev]

There were times when new android release version meant new redesign, now new button is added and they are releasing it as new version

[ad.n]

U can get linux from developer options in android 16, thats what i love about it :)

[alejandrocastro]

This is literally Android 12.4 😭😭😭😭👎🏽👎🏽

[TimothyReeves]

All I need to know, delivered quickly. I won't be going from QPR2 to this. Thanks.

[Terry.McNally]

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.

[saithoaimog]

Please Google ringtone sync vibration bring back this feature..why remove in android 15?

[aselahemantha]

Nice wallpapers ❤ Proud user of wallpaper app

[papajohn_yt]

Works fine on my pixel 8a. The first bug you mentioned didn't appear on my side plus battery is also okay.

[juaanviceente]

I have a Pixel 9 Pro and the feature of the charging cycles was already since its launch.

[Marcin.Szydlo]

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.
