With many smartphone manufacturers pushing ever-longer update policies, it's becoming increasingly important to consider factors like the availability of replacement parts and the ease of DIY repair when buying a new phone. After all, even if the manufacturer of your phone promises seven years of software support, will its hardware last that long? You can maximize battery life with simple steps, but there's not much you can do to extend the life of a memory chip, for example. In fact, there's no way to know how much life it has left. However, that could happen with the arrival Androidu 15 to change.

Since late last year, Google has been working on making useful information about your phone's hardware available. It begun informaceme about the condition of the battery, such as date of manufacture, number of cycles and health, which are all useful factors to help you know when it's time to replace the battery.

Now the website Android Authority found that Google twhich he plans to publish informace about storage status. These informace to be available in Androidu 15 in a new application called Device Diagnostics (device diagnostics). That prý will use a new storage lifetime API that "shows the remaining lifetime of the internal storage device as an integer." For example, if the API shows a number of 90, it means that the storage has a lifetime of 90 %. The website added that it will show the system for Google's own devices storage lifetime s by resolution into units of percent, while for others it will be ten percent. This means that this app will not be equally useful on all devices.

Google recently opened a pro Android 15 beta program, being the first beta version released last week (the website "extracted" the data about the new application from it). It is expected to release at least three more betas (the last one should be released in July or August). Sharp version of the next version Androidu could then arrive sometime in the fall (according to some unofficial information, it will be the beginning of October).
