The second Android 15 developer preview is already out and all enthusiasts are eagerly exploring the new build. While some users simply experience the software, developers are digging into the code to uncover some features within the new OS update. The latest discovery is a toggle to disable the default frame rate for games. Curiously, this toggle disables the 60Hz limit and allows games to reach the peak frame rate performance. If your hardware is capable, gaming will break the 60fps limit.
