SHENZHEN, China, May 14, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- vivo today announced the release of the Android 15
Beta Program for X100 and iQOO 12 smartphones in selected countries and regions. Starting from
May 15, 2024, vivo developers will
get early access to test and adapt their applications for the next
Android version. Android 15 introduces a range of changes and
features for a smoother overall experience, enhanced privacy and
security protection, and optimized battery life.
Enhanced application performance and smoother
experiences
Android 15 introduces several new features and improvements that
enhance application performance, including advanced PDF rendering
capabilities, a new way to process media files, and optimized
database operations.
The PdfRenderer API in Android 15 boasts significant
improvements, allowing developers to incorporate advanced features
such as rendering password-protected files, annotations, form
editing, search, and selection with copy. The update also supports
linear PDF optimization, which speeds up the viewing of native PDFs
and reduces resource usage. These enhancements will enable
developers to create applications that offer seamless and efficient
PDF viewing, editing, and searching.
Furthermore, Android 15 introduces a new foreground service type
called mediaProcessing, specifically designed for operations like
transcoding media files. Developers can use a mediaProcessing
foreground service to ensure that the conversion continues even
while the app is in the background. For instance, a media
application may download an audio file that requires conversion to
an alternative format for playback. This service can ensure an
uninterrupted conversion process even when the app is not in use,
providing a seamless user experience.
Android 15 also introduces new SQLite APIs that provide advanced
features to address specific performance issues that may manifest
in applications. These high-performance APIs will help developers
maintain optimal performance as the app data grows, with options to
troubleshoot performance problems.
Robust security and privacy protection
Android 15 prioritizes user privacy and security by introducing
new APIs aimed at safeguarding files from tampering and corruption,
strengthening overall system security.
With Android 15, the FileIntegrityManager brings new APIs that
leverage the fs-verity feature in the Linux kernel. This allows
developers to protect files with custom cryptographic signatures.
By preventing potential malware or unauthorized file modifications,
the system enhances application functionality and data integrity.
These security measures provide users with peace of mind, knowing
that their data and applications are well-protected against
potential threats.
Optimized battery life and performance
Android 15 introduces new features and improvements in the way
apps interact with the device's power and thermal systems,
resulting in an improved battery life and performance for games and
performance-intensive apps.
Android 15 continues to enhance the Android Dynamic Performance
Framework (ADPF), a set of APIs that facilitate direct interaction
between games and performance-intensive apps with the devices'
power and thermal systems. On X100 and iQOO 12, Android 15 will
introduce new ADPF features, including a power-efficiency mode that
prioritizes energy efficiency over performance, ideal for
long-running background tasks. The update also allows for reporting
GPU and CPU runtimes in a prompt session, enabling the system to
adjust CPU and GPU frequencies simultaneously to effectively meet
workload needs. This optimization ensures that the device delivers
the necessary performance while conserving energy whenever
possible.
Furthermore, thermal headroom thresholds are added to Android 15
to interpret possible thermal throttling status based on headroom
prediction. This helps the application anticipate and manage
thermal constraints, ensuring a consistent user experience even
under demanding conditions.
Partnering to deliver superior user experience
vivo continues to work with and support developers to ensure a
smooth transition to Android 15 and an uninterrupted experience for
vivo users. Starting from May 15,
2024, the Android 15 Beta Program will be available on vivo
X100 in countries and regions including
India, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong
Kong, and Kazakhstan, and
on iQOO 12 in Thailand,
Indonesia, Malaysia, and India.
