DIY testing could be coming to Android 15
Android 15 could bring in a new feature that allows users to perform device diagnostics on their phone without needing the aid of a repair center.
Through digging around in the Android 15 Beta 3, Android Authority’s Mishaal Rahman discovered a new Device Diagnostics option in the Settings app on one of his Pixel phones. Exploring further, Rahaman found that the feature has two options: “Component health” that lets you “run manual tests and view battery and storage health” and “Evaluation mode” that enables users to “use one device to assess another device.”
Now Android devices already offer information such as battery health, but this Device Diagnostics option looks like it digs a bit deeper and can serve up manual tests to check the display and touch screen response. Component tests look centered around diagnosing the battery status and analyzing storage – likely checking at how robust the onboard storage is rather than serve up how much is being used.
