Google wants to hear your thoughts on Android 15 QPR2 Beta

  • Google released Android 15 QPR2 Beta 1, which collects users’ systematic feedback to improve the latest version.

  • The feedback form focuses on satisfaction and questions to improve user experience and platform performance.

  • The survey aims to improve resource management, software quality and overall user satisfaction.

Google may have lost the rigidity of a release calendar for Android betas, but we’re still seeing launches within a week of the usual dates, and a noticeable improvement in platform stability. Critical bugs that would block devices are a little less frequent now, with beta versions, but Google isn’t taking it easy. The company just shared a rather extensive feedback form to gather users’ thoughts on the latest build in a systematic way.

Google released Android 15 QPR2 Beta 1 earlier this week as an OTA update for Pixel users. This beta update will be released in the stable channel sometime around March next year as Google’s first feature release for 2025. The shape starts by asking you to confirm the operating system version number and your device model followed by carrier and country information. All popular operators for each country are listed (via 9to5Google).

On the next page of the form, you get to rate your satisfaction with various OS parameters on a five-point scale. Parameters include system stability, performance, battery life, call quality, authentication, charging and update experience. Smaller bits like unit temperature have also been included.

Google’s feedback form continues to ask users if they would recommend users in their current state to friends and family. You can also answer the likelihood of this on a three-point scale. The next question is for your overall satisfaction with Android 15 followed by how it feels compared to the previous version that was on your device.

The form then looks up specific pain points you had with the build and asks if the issues are serious enough to force you to exit the beta program. The following pages only ask follow-up questions to understand your problem and depend on which problem you choose as the most annoying. Yes, you can rate your irritation on an eight-point scale. The final page has three sections where you can write feedback for the team and again share your overall satisfaction.

This detailed investigation is aimed at gathering a comprehensive picture of the completeness of this update, but from a user’s point of view. So we suggest you spend some time using your device with the QPR beta installed before completing this, so that the results are not accidentally skewed. That said, this form is specific to beta testers and has no bearing on the user experience of the stable version found on the best android phones.
