Android 15 development is in full swing, with multiple developer previews and beta releases already out for the testers. These early builds have revealed many exciting features of the new OS, such as satellite connectivity, Find My Device network, and App Archiving (more on this later). We might see more new features in Android 15 as Google releases more and more beta builds.
Android 15 seems a pretty exciting upgrade, much more than the last two iterations – Android 13 and Android 14. It’s still in the development and testing phase, which will last for a few more months before Google announces the stable build. While you wait for the public release, it’s important to ensure that your Realme smartphone is ready for the next major OS upgrade.

This is not the final list by any means as the brand hasn’t yet announced the list of Android 15 supported devices. However, we already know the software update policy for most Realme phones. We have factored in the company’s past update rollouts in preparing this list.
If your device is not on the list, worry not. Wait for the official list before you consider upgrading to a new smartphone to enjoy the latest Android features.
Realme UI 5.0: When Will It Start Rolling Out?
Android 15 is currently through the beta phase, which will last until June 2024, as per the official timeline. Once the platform stability phase kicks in, Google stops adding new features and rather focuses on resolving bugs and making final adjustments for the final release.
While Google hasn’t yet announced a release date for Android 15, everyone is expecting it to arrive around the same time as last year, that means in October.
After the stable release arrives, smartphone companies take a little more time to refine their custom skins (Realme UI in the case of Realme) which can take a few weeks.
If you get lucky, you may get an early taste of Android 15 months before the official release by participating in the beta program. Last year, the Chinese brand announced the Android 14 beta for the GT 2 Pro in May. Around the same time, we can see the Android 15 beta announcement for select premium Realme phones. While the stable Android 14 update started rolling out around December.
What’s New in Android 15?
These are the biggest changes that have been discovered in Android 15 so far:
Find My Phone Network
Find My Phone is getting a pretty significant update in the new OS. All Android 15 phones can ping each other via Bluetooth and contribute to the network to help someone find their lost device. The nearby Android device part of Find My network can pick up Bluetooth signals from the broadcasting device and upload the encrypted location details to Google’s servers, which can be decrypted by the broadcasting device owner.
Satellite Connectivity Support
Android 15 adds support for satellite connectivity. This means you’ll be able to send texts to your friends even if you don’t have cell towers nearby, as long as you have access to the open sky. The new OS supports satellite connectivity for SMS apps and preinstalled RCS apps. In other words, this feature on Android 15 will not be limited to emergency uses only.
App Archiving
The app archiving feature lets you uninstall apps while keeping the user data around. So, the next time you reinstall the app, you can continue where you left off.
Google already has the app archiving feature through the Google Play Store. This means you can archive and restore apps only through the Play Store. But Android 15 removes this restriction by allowing any apps to be archived, including those installed outside the Play Store.
Battery Health
Android 15 could bring the “Battery Health” feature, which users have been requesting for a very long time. This feature tells the remaining battery capacity – an important metric that can help users replace the battery at the right time.
Although Google hasn’t confirmed Battery Health as an upcoming feature in Android 15, we might see it in one of the upcoming beta releases.
Notification Cooldown
Android 15 introduces the “Notification Cooldown” feature to stop people from getting overwhelmed by too many notifications from the same app. This feature lowers the volume of successive notifications from the same app.
Partial Screen Sharing
Partial screen sharing is a useful and privacy-focused addition to Android 15 that allows users to share and record a single app rather than the entire screen. So, you don’t have to worry even if you mistakenly open a secret app while sharing your screen.
