Google released the second beta of Android 15 a few hours ago. It offers several new features and UI improvements, one of which appears to be inspired by the volume control menu in One UI 6. However, on top of what Samsung offers in One UI, Android 15 adds features related to media playback.
Android 15’s volume control menu can toggle media output
As revealed in 9To5Google reportGoogle has improved the volume control UI with Android 15. Its design is similar to One UI 6.0, which displays a full menu when the volume control slider is expanded. From the full expanded menu, it lets you change the volume of alerts, call alerts, call volume, media playback, and notifications.
It also includes a separate slider to control the volume for media playback on a Google Cast device (such as Google Home or Google TV). One feature that is not available in One UI but is present in Android 15 is the ability to change media playback from one Google Cast device to another. Furthermore, this complete list contains Material You colors.
You can see the UI design of One UI 6.0 in the in-depth video below.
This complete menu also contains a button to activate or deactivate Live Caption. This feature is already present in the full volume control menu in One UI 6.0. This new design appeared last month but was not final, and has now appeared in Android 15 Beta 2. The Google Cast media output switcher could appear in One UI 7.0, which could debut on Galaxy phones and tablets later this year. .
