Android 15 could add new settings to manage your external display
  • Android 15 QPR1 Beta 1 hints at a new External Display settings page.
  • On this page, you’ll be able to adjust the display resolution and rotation of external displays.
  • This page isn’t available yet in Beta 1, but we managed to activate it manually.

Ahead of the stable release of Android 15 later this year, Google has just pushed out the first beta of Android 15’s first quarterly platform release. Android 15 QPR1 Beta 1 is rolling out today for supported Google Pixel phones, and while it doesn’t have a lot of user-facing changes, there are, as usual, some interesting tidbits buried under the hood. For instance, we spotted evidence of a new page in the Settings app called External Display that’ll let you configure some settings of your external display.

After decoding the Settings app in the new Android 15 QPR1 Beta 1 release, we spotted the following strings pertaining to the External Display page. These strings describe the settings that you’ll be able to tweak on this new page, which currently include the display resolution and the rotation.
