Android 15 DP2: 'Audio sharing' to multiple headphones at the same time.
There's a new 'Audio Transfer' option in the Connected devices settings. The description of the settings page reads, 'Let others listen to your media along with you using their own compatible headphones'.
On the page, there is a 'Share audio' switch on the page, which doesn't seem to be working yet, because when you return to this page it's off again. There is also a Stream settings section, which is currently empty.
From previous news about this feature, the connection will be done via QR codes

Android 15 DP2: App archiving
There is a new "Archive" option with a cloud icon on the "App info" page. This feature frees up to 60% of the memory space occupied by an app by "deleting part of the app rather than uninstalling it completely". Previously, archiving was done automatically by Play Store, but in Android 15, users will be able to archive apps themselves.
Once sent to the archive, the app will be labeled with the appropriate icon, and to restore it back, all you have to do is tap on it in the apps menu.
As you may have noticed, with the addition of this button, Google has moved the "open" button to the upper-right corner. (The "three dots" menu will appear next to it).

Android 15 DP2 adds the "change media output" permission page that I previously reported. The "MEDIA_ROUTING_CONTROL" permission "allows an application to control the routing of media apps." However, it is "only for use by role COMPANION_DEVICE_WATCH."

Android 15 DP2: Other changes
• New option in the developer section "Disable default frame rate for games". This option will "disable limiting the maximum frame rate for games at 60 Hz".
• Changing USB connection mode now asks for biometric authentication (or lockscreen key)

Google has announced that they will indeed bring Gemini Nano support to the regular Pixel 8!
For reference, earlier this month, a Googler during #TheAndroidShow said that Gemini Nano wouldn't be coming to the Pixel 8 because of "some hardware limitations." The limitation in question is memory: the Pixel 8 has 8GB of RAM while the 8 Pro has 12GB.
Gemini Nano is the mobile optimized version of the Gemini LLM that's currently available on the Pixel 8 Pro and Galaxy S24 series. Gemini Nano powers the summarization feature in the Pixel Recorder app as well as Smart Reply in Gboard when using messaging apps likes WhatsApp.
Google says that Gemini Nano will roll out to Pixel 8 users as a "developer preview" in the "next Pixel Feature Drop", ie. the June 2024 Pixel Feature Drop which will also bring Android 14 QPR3. Gemini Nano on the Pixel 8 might not perform as well as it does on the Pixel 8 Pro due to differences in memory specs, which is likely why it's being offered as a developer preview.

The current design of the status bar icons hasn't changed much since Android 5.0 Lollipop, except that Android 10 introduced options to customize them, which was cut out in Android 12.
As Mishaal Rahman ( via Android Authority) has learned, Google may introduce an updated segmented icon design in the upcoming Android 15 update. Also, in the new icons variant, the battery percentage is now displayed inside the battery icon.
In addition to the new icons, Android 15 may add a slight tactile feedback when long-pressing the quick settings tile, as well as when dragging the volume slider that appears when the volume buttons are pressed (similar feedback to the brightness slider)
