Android 15 has been out for a while now, but we’re still discovering new features – such as a screensaver that allows you to control your smart home without even unlocking your phone.
The Home Controls feature turns your phone into a smart-home dashboard when the phone is docked – and it’s not just exclusive to Google’s platforms, either.
Those concerned about battery health when leaving their phone connected to a charger for a prolonged period will be happy to hear that Android 15 offers an 80% charging cap on Pixel phones – we hope to see this feature come to other platforms, too.
For now, though, we’re glad to see these useful smart home options rolling out to all Android 15 users.
When will my phone get Android 15?
When your particular Android phone will get Android 15 features depends on the plans of the phone’s manufacturer.
Phone makers that use Android tend to add a cosmetic skin with some exclusive features, known as a 'wrapper', sometimes styled as an operating system unto itself.
As mentioned, Pixel phones will get Android 15 later this month, and other manufacturers like Motorola and Nothing have either announced rollout plans or begun beta testing.
For the latest updates on when Android 15 will come to your phone, be sure to keep up with our Android coverage.
