The Android world has just received a major update with the release of Android 15 Beta 4 from Google. This release introduces, among other new features, an innovative diagnostics menu. This feature promises to make users’ lives easier by providing detailed information about the device’s status and allowing tests to be performed on various hardware components.
This launch was first reported by Android Authority and Android Police, two of the most respected sources on Android. This new feature focuses on providing a complete view of the health of the cell phone, including a detailed analysis of the device’s battery and storage space.
What are the new features in Android 15?
The diagnostics menu consists of two main parts. The first, called Component Integrity, allows users to check the current battery capacity compared to the original, the number of cycles, the dates of manufacture and first use, as well as the remaining storage life. Additionally, manual tests can be performed to evaluate issues such as display color and touch sensitivity.
How will Android 15 beta mode work?
The second section of the menu is called Evaluation Mode, which makes it possible to evaluate a secondary device. To do this, the user generates a QR code, which must be scanned by the device under evaluation. After reading the code, the cell phone goes into component integrity testing mode and provides a detailed summary of the device’s status.
How will the assessment mode help with technical assistance?
While the exact purpose of the assessment mode is not yet entirely clear, it is expected that this feature will allow Android device owners to perform a detailed pre-assessment. This could revolutionize the maintenance process, enabling owners to get repair quotes without having to physically send the device to a technical support, thus optimizing the time and costs involved in this process.
Additional benefits and potential future developments
- Improve device maintenance, reduce operating costs.
- Improve the accuracy of technical assessments provided through assistance.
- Possibility of increasing the life of the device through continuous monitoring.
With these innovations, Google is not only enhancing the practical utility of Android, but also enhancing user autonomy in managing the safety of their devices. We look forward to more news and updates that will surely continue to expand the capabilities of this already very popular operating system.
