Android 15 Developer Preview Is Now Available. What to Know About the First Release

From CNET: Google's follow-up to Android 14 -- Android 15 -- is now available to download for early testers.

The latest major OS update, with a focus on beefing up privacy and security, also allows creators to take better advantage of camera hardware and gives developers more ways to manage heat and processing power for more efficient app performance.

This early version of Android 15 is intended mostly for developers, to help them build apps tuned for the next release of the Android OS and for Google to get valuable feedback as it rolls out updates throughout 2024.

But just because the preview is meant for developers doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't download Android 15 right now. As long as you understand the limitations of a developer preview (which can include bugs, missing features and app incompatibility) and how to install it with manual flash (adding the OS to your phone's flash memory storage), you can check out Android 15 right now.
