Outdoors of the bizarre launch that was Android 12, Google tends to replace its Pixel line to the most recent model of Android on the identical day that it drops supply code. They did this for Android 14 and 13 and 11 and 10 and so forth. For Android 15, they could go the route of Android 12 moderately than all the others.
In line with a brand new rumor, Google is planning to launch Android 15 supply code subsequent week when September arrives, however could not launch Android 15 to the Pixel line till October, probably as late as mid-October. The reported reasoning is to permit the Android group time to enhance stability earlier than letting it go steady.
If we have a look at a calendar, this timeline would imply Android 15 supply code dropping in the beginning of September, but no Pixel system seeing the replace to it for at the very least a month.
Is that this one thing to be involved about? Effectively, no. Look, if Google wants time in order that it doesn’t launch a buggy mess to all of its Pixel telephones, together with the brand new Pixel 9 line, we shouldn’t freak out. If something, it’s simply…bizarre. We’re so accustomed to Google giving us the products instantly that we simply could be in a state of confusion till the replace hits. At the least now we have the Pixel 9 to play with, proper?
Android 15 is a reasonably massive replace, whereas additionally not being a large revamp to Android. There are a number of new options to sit up for, however nothing I might take into account sport altering.
On a associated be aware, Google is already letting us take a look at Android 15 QPR1 in beta, which is a construct newer than what’s going to land on telephones when Android 15 goes steady. That’s in all probability making this complete state of affairs extra awkward, however that is how Google works now in the case of Android 15 and betas. They not solely allow us to take a look at new model of Android, additionally they provides us entry to quarterly builds a number of months earlier than they go steady.
We’ll let early subsequent week what the story is.
