Google is engaged on Put on OS 5.1 based mostly on Android 15….or is it Put on OS 6?

That the brand new Put on OS 5.1 model is predicated on what would be the newest Android construct is kind of an achievement for Google. Historically, the latest iteration of Put on OS was based mostly on a model of Android that was launched as a lot as two years earlier than the launch of the brand new Put on OS software program. For instance, Put on OS 3 based mostly on Android 11 was launched eight months after Android 11 was launched. Primarily based on Android 13, Put on OS 4 dropped two years after Android 13. And Put on OS 5, based mostly on Android 14, got here out this yr whereas Android 14 was launched in 2023. The primary watch to make use of Put on OS 5 is the not too long ago launched Galaxy Watch 7.

What is not clear is whether or not the software program being examined will really be Put on OS 5.1 or if it should become Put on OS 6. Mishaal Rahman, writing for Android Authority, notes that Google appears to be on an annual launch schedule for Put on OS which might point out that Put on OS 6 is being examined. He additionally says that Google’s final level replace for Put on OS was model 3.5 in 2022. There have been no such updates for Put on OS 4 which went straight to Put on OS 5. Nonetheless, with Google testing Put on OS 5.1 on the Pixel Watch 2, it appears extra probably that we’re going to see the return to level updates.

Nonetheless, as Rahman notes, Google might determine to exchange the Put on OS 5.1 identify with Put on OS 6.0 earlier than the software program is launched. He says that the reality will likely be decided by whether or not Google will likely be together with any new APIs or app-facing system behaviors with the brand new construct it’s testing. If that’s the case, that might be the clue that the construct of Put on OS Google is engaged on internally will ultimately be launched as Put on OS 6 and may not be launched till subsequent yr. At the moment, Android 15 will likely be almost a yr outdated and Google can have apparently returned to its outdated schedule.

We might see the Pixel Watch 3 launched on August thirteenth in the course of the upcoming Made by Google occasion that features the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Professional, Pixel 9 Professional XL, Pixel 9 Professional Fold, the Pixel Watch 3, and maybe the Pixel Pill 2.
