OnePlus announced the Android 15 Beta Program for the OnePlus 12 and Open foldable phone. The official announcement came yesterday when Google kickstarted its I/O 2024 keynote.

As always, the recent OnePlus flagships are getting the opportunity to install Android 15 Beta prior to the official release. Many other Chinese vendors are also participating in Android’s Beta activity alongside Google.

The company highlighted that Android 15 Beta 1 is tailored for developers and advanced users. The early access enables app developers and early adopters in the community to begin crafting enhanced software experiences.

The Chinese phone maker also advises against flashing ROM manually if you have limited software development experience, intend to use the device as your primary driver, or lack experience with custom ROM installations.

Precautions:

• You should understand there is a risk of BRICKING your phone, read the instructions carefully, and be 100% sure of what you are doing.
• Always backup your important data before flashing.
• OnePlus 12: Versions above 14.0.0.610 cannot be upgraded to Android 15 Beta.
• OnePlus Open: Versions above 14.0.0.702 cannot be upgraded to Android 15 Beta.

Google Wallet has revised the minimum OS requirement for Android and Wear OS. The company mentioned that security updates won’t be provided, rendering tap-to-pay transactions insecure.

The revised document reveals that Google Wallet will require at least Android 9 or higher on smartphones and Wear OS 2.x or higher on smartwatches starting June 10, 2024.

This means users with Android Nougat devices (2016: 7.0, 7.1) and Oreo (2017: 8.0, 8.1) will be affected. Notably, the Android 9 Pie (as of October 2023) has a cumulative distribution of 86.4%.

To help keep Wallet features such as tap to pay transactions more secure, we must be able to send security updates to your device.

Google is continuously upgrading its Wallet platform with support for more bank cards. The company is also expanding the availability of the Wallet experience to more countries, with the latest entry marked in India.

Google appears to have started releasing Android’s new Find My Device outside the US and Canada. AndroidAuthority’s MishaalRahman spotted that Android’s new Find My Device feature starting to expand to more countries outside the US and Canada.

Consumers in Japan and the UK posted on X that their devices are getting the offline finding feature. Beyond Pixel, Google is also bringing it to other eligible Android devices such as the Moto Razr Plus. The initial rollout started last month, with expansion starting to take place now.

The new Find My Device network feature is useful for rediscovering lost devices including phones and accessories. Google also revealed that a user’s device location is encrypted using their screen lock and can only be seen by the owner.

Users will also have a few options for finding offline devices. In its settings, users will see “off,” “without network,” “high-traffic areas only,” and “network in all areas.” By default, the high-traffic area option is selected, which works in places like airports or “busy footpaths.”
