Introducing Android 15’s “Landroid” Screensaver for Google Pixel Devices

Google’s latest operating system, Android 15, is here to take users on an out-of-this-world journey with its space-themed easter egg and the delightful “Landroid” screensaver available on Google Pixel phones and tablets.

Building upon the success of previous playful elements in OS releases, Google has incorporated a space theme into Android 15. This year’s easter egg features the iconic Bugdroid mascot embarking on a cosmic adventure, culminating in landing on Earth and planting a flag.

What makes this easter egg truly special is its transformation into a dynamic screensaver once viewed for the first time. Known as “Landroid,” this screensaver comes with the tagline “AUTOPILOT ENGAGED,” offering users a visually captivating experience. Users can enjoy watching Bugdroid’s exploration and flag-planting mission on repeat automatically.

Accessing the Landroid screensaver is straightforward for Pixel Tablet or Pixel Tablet 2 users. Simply navigate to the Settings menu, locate Hub Mode and Screen Saver, and activate it to see Landroid grace the screen when your device is locked or docked.

But wait, there’s more! Pixel phone users can also enjoy the Landroid screensaver experience. After discovering the easter egg, head to Settings, then Display & Touch, and finally Screen Saver to enable it on your device.

To unlock this fun feature on Android 15 Beta 4, go to Settings, then About Phone, and tap “Android Version” three times. This action will unveil the Android 15 logo, which can be long-pressed to launch an engaging space-themed game.

Although it may seem like a small addition, the Landroid screensaver showcases Google’s dedication to infusing its products with charm and enjoyment. These little touches enhance the user experience by adding elements of delight beyond mere functionality.

Experience the magic of Landroid on your Google Pixel device today and let Bugdroid take you on a journey through space right from your screen!
