Android 15 beta: keeping me on the Android camp.

After reading that the current beta of Android 15  has no major bugs, and is quite stable, and could be used on for a daily driver I decided to install it on my Google Pixel 7a . So far, it has been working really well. The main difference I see, is on the setting page. Which I like better than the one on Android 14 .
