The second beta of Android 15 is now available with more performance and autonomy

After the launch of the first beta version of Android 15 in February of this year, Google has taken advantage of its great event for developers (where we were already able to see some news about AI and also about Wear OS 5), the Google I/O 24, To trow the second beta of its next version of the operating system for smartphones and all types of devices.

In this second beta of Android 15the company has integrated new optimizations to improve speed, quality and also autonomy of Android mobile devices. Services running in the background will now have another management system that makes them background services cannot be active for more than 6 hours, If they reach that number, the system will stop considering them background services and will automatically stop them if they do not stop on their own.

Support has also been added for 16K page size, four times higher than standard 4K. In this way, lower application startup times are achieved during those times when a lot of memory is used. I alson Consumption is reduced by 4.56% on average during the launch of apps.

For example, with Android 15 Beta 2, Opening the camera app will take 6.6% less time on a cold start (without the app being previously suspended, if opened from a suspension, the improvement will be 4.48% on average).

Android 15 has also improved the system’s access to GPU hardware. The ANGLE layer has been added optionally to run OpenGL ES on Vulkanin this way the implementation of OpenGL ES will be done in a standard way, increasing performance in some cases and improving compatibility.

New functions have also been added to the Android Canvas graphics system, with support for 4×4 matrices for manipulating the “canvas” in 3D environments, or intersecting clips with specific shaders. Along with these improvements, support for the dav1d decoder on Android has also been added with the aim to improve the decoding performance of the AV1 format by up to 3 times.

Other aspects such as security have also been reinforced in order to achieve greater data privacy, for example, with the creation of “Private Space”, to have applications stored in a separate area.
