Android 15 Beta 4.2

Are you a Samsung Galaxy or any other Android device user? And you are also eagerly awaiting the new volume panel UI of Android 15? Well, you don’t have to wait any longer as the Precise Volume app is here to elevate your experience with Android 15 volume panel UI. This third-party app provides a glimpse into the future of volume control on Android devices.

The new volume panel interface set to debut in Android 15 uses a fresh design with thicker pill-shaped sliders, collapsible, and animations to adjust volume levels. While Google has not officially released this major update yet, the Precise Volume app has brought this experience to users ahead of time.

Precise Volume app’s latest update adds an “Android 15 Preview” popup style as part of its Volume Button Override feature. This allows users to replace the stock volume panel UI with a new one closely similar to the upcoming Android 15 interface.

How to bring the Android 15 volume panel?

To experience the Android 15 volume panel UI, users must download the Precise Volume app from the Google Play Store and ensure that they have version 2.0.0-beta-8. Upgrading to the Pro version for $5.99 unlocks the Volume Button Override feature, which is a way to many other functionalities the app offers.

Firstly you need to enable the Volume Button Override feature through Settings. After granting necessary permissions, including “Display Over Other Apps” and enabling the app’s Accessibility service, users can enjoy the new volume slider.

By tapping on the three-dot button at the bottom of the slider, the new Android 15 volume panel appears in its collapsed form, which can be expanded for full functionality.

The new Android 15 volume panel may not have the media output switcher of the real one, but it adds two nifty buttons for adjusting volume and equalizer presets. In addition, the app offers precise control over volume adjustment, allowing up to 1,000 volume steps.

If you want to try the Android 15 Volume Panel on your Samsung Galaxy or other Android device, follow the above steps after downloading the Precise Volume app, thanks to Mishaal Rahman (Android Authority). This app is ideal for non-Samsung devices as Galaxy users already have the Good Lock app for customizations.
