Google’s 2024 Android release; it brought platform changes such as private space, 16 KB memory page support and a new update mechanism.
According to the AOSP release notes Android 15 added “private space”, where sensitive apps can be hidden from other users of the device, mobile network security alerts when connecting to an insecure network, and Low Light Boost, which brightens the camera preview in low light.
On the platform side it added support for building with a 16 KB memory page size and the Virtual A/B v3 OTA mechanism, aimed at smaller and faster updates. Manufacturers ship Android 15 with their own interfaces (such as Samsung One UI 7), so feature availability varies by device.
