Crazy to think I'm running this beta on my Pixel 6 after thinking 15 would be the last update.

Hey friends... Skip to 2:07 if you don't need a refresher on the beta timelines. Otherwise, I hope you all are having a great week 👍🏿

Good job on the video, the only thing I'd ask for future version comparisons, it'll be easier to follow if the separate devices are in the same position throughout the video.
E.g. Sometimes the Android 16 device is in your left hand, while 15 is in your right, and other times it's switched. A little difficult to follow

Who wasn't a fan of more customization I want the quick settings redesign

[peterphoenyx]

The quick settings background should also go light mode when changed instead of staying dark in both light mode and dark mode

[denislenut]

Wish we had more UI changes such as the quick settings redesign and lockscreen widgets aswell as fixing the damn extended screenshots which many times do pretty weird things and make unusable screenshots

[BLACKSAMARII]

That quick settings redesign looks good. It would be nice to see it.

[dhawalmalot]

I'm not facing that grayed out problem at the notification panel and other places.

[mrcandycanemcc]

We barely even got our hands on Android 15, yet they're already making Android 16.

[AngelMartinez-mgok]

Meanwhile Samsung is still stuck with android 14..

[Khushwindxr]

Really really need the quick settings redesign. The current one takes a lot of space for displaying a too little information. Hope they make it into a pixel-esque panel with practicality kept in mind

[JackMaslovLive]

Ir's nice that Google tries to bring the new progressive live notifications and provide a more complete animation package so early this year. Wether that's worth calling it Android 16 though, I don't know, but they'll surely have more stuff to add until they finish the development.

[sanjunyk]

I personally want a quick setting redesign.

[MOSMASTERING]

"Animations are slightly smoother than the last release"

They literally say that EVERY single time.

Its so smooth now that it must feel like sliding your finger through warm butter. 120hz wasnt enough? What is this next release pushing scrolling speeds up to now? 500hz?

[MD-nzmy]

Love your videos. However, the sound of your microphone is heavily distorted, and it feels like you’re constantly shouting into it. I’d really appreciate it if you could fix that.

google pixel : beta for android 16
samsung : still waiting android 15

[burhanudinr]

hi, how to show estimated battery instead of the percentage notification bar (5:43 )

[botyikadam]

So sick! I'm still waiting to download 15 on my Samsung S24.

[lliddle]

I would actually really like the notification shade redesign. I felt like functionally, Android 12 made the quick settings look nice, but you can't fit as many on one page, so it was less useful. The combination of material you design, with the old style that provided more buttons would be perfect

[LifeOnee]

I'm not sure why people don't like that quick settings panel, it has so much more personality then the current one
