The Android 15 DP2 version introduced a newly designed volume adjustment panel and brought about a major UI change.
Google has rolled out two developer previews of Android 15 so far, giving us a glimpse of what’s coming to the stable version this fall.
According to new changes discovered by Android information digger Mishaal Rahman, Android 15 will bring a newly designed volume panel, with the adjustment slider changing from a thin strip to a thick strip, and supporting one-click muting.

Rahman noted that the panel will only display the media slider when there is content playing on the device, and will display all five controls when there is no media playing. There is a dot at the end of each slider that indicates the maximum volume for each option.
Additionally, he found evidence of properties like Noise Control and Spatial Audio in the redesigned volume panel, but they can’t currently be activated.
In terms of detail, the text on the volume slider subtly adjusts as the user increases or decreases the volume, ensuring that the name of the slider is always visible. Attached is an animated demonstration diagram:
