Xiaomi will have a launch event next month to introduce their upcoming flagship phones. These devices will run Android 15 on top of HyperOS 2.0 outside the box. We expect older phones to get the update after the announcement next month, but as usual, Xiaomi will organize a beta test. The company has opened a recruitment portal for those who wish to test the upcoming Android 15-based HyperOS 2.0. Before a major update becomes available to the public, there are always beta tests. It takes months to conduct these tests. Take Android 15 beta testing that started in February and…

Samsung released an update early this month for the Galaxy S24 series. The update delivered the much-anticipated One UI 6.1.1 features but failed to bump the Android security patch level to the latest version. In what we believe to be intentional, a new Galaxy S24 update is now rolling out with a new patch. It’s the second OTA update for the Galaxy S24 series this month.

One UI 6.1.1 has introduced some Galaxy AI features, optimized performance, and resolved issues. However, some AI features that arrived for the Galaxy S24 might be missing on your Galaxy S22 after installing the update. You’d get some cool features like Live Translation for Apps, Listening Mode for the…

In a few weeks, Google will start rolling the stable Android 15 update, while Nokia is still rolling Android 14 to its eligible phones. Of course, it’s better late than never, and we recommend those using the Nokia XR20 to check for the new update that bumps their OS to Android 14.  Only a few eligible Android 14 phones are yet to get the upgrade, with Android 15 rolling out soon. HMD has now released the former to the Nokia XR20. We understand it’s a global release, but rolling out in batches, meaning the update might take days before hitting…
