• The latest Android 15 QPR2 Beta 1 is said to increase the haptic intensity on Pixel devices.
• Many users love the change, but many others hate it.

Android 15 QPR2 Beta 1 is here, allowing Pixel users to try out the QPR2 release before it reaches the stable branch (expected in December). The new beta brings several key changes, such as the new customizable “Modes” that take over Do Not Disturb duties and the new Linux Terminal app. A smaller change that has flown under the radar is the stronger haptics, and it seems opinion is really divided on just how good it is.

Enthusiasts who have installed the new beta on their devices have been surprised by the new haptic feedback.*This Reddit discussion shows*that many users love them and hope Google keeps them in for the final stable release. Some users who used a bulky case on their Pixels can now feel the haptics coming through the case.
