The highly-anticipated Android 15 is finally rolling out to Google smartphones beyond the Pixel 9 series. This means it’s only a matter of time before Samsung users get to enjoy it too.
New Security Features
One of the standout features of Android 15 is the AI-powered Theft Detection Lock, which automatically locks a smartphone if it’s snatched out of your hands. This prevents thieves from accessing your bank accounts while the phone is unlocked. This feature is particularly welcome as phone snatching cases rise in the UK, with more than 200 handsets stolen every day, or about 78,000 a year.
Another security feature is malicious app blocking, which acts as an extra line of defense against scammers who use overlays on app icons to disguise them as legitimate applications.
Camera Upgrades
For photography enthusiasts, Android 15 brings a low light boost and improved in-app camera controls that work better in low-light conditions. Third-party apps will also have more camera control, including more precise flash control.

Samsung Charging Tips
To get the most out of your smartphone’s battery, charge it properly. Most smartphones have lithium-ion batteries that last longer when charged regularly. Unlike older nickel batteries, lithium-ion batteries perform best when kept above a 50 percent charge. Repeatedly allowing the battery to drain fully may shorten its life and decrease its overall capacity. Leaving the phone connected to the charger while using it may also lower battery life if done repeatedly.
