Google’s Android 15 update also brings Gemini Live to past Pixel Buds and a host of additions to Pixel 6 phones or later.

Android 15 introduces a completely new design to the expanded Android volume panel on Pixels — with larger, more easily adjusted sliders for specific sorts of media volumes as well as a more prominent button to shift your phone’s audio output from the phone itself to any connected devices.

Google sold more phones in the third quarter of 2024 than in any other quarter before thanks to the Pixel 9 series, which debuted in August. Google isnt anywhere close to the top five brands when it comes to market share, which is led by Samsung and Apple.
