Google has pushed back the release date of Android 15 for Pixel devices. Instead of the expected September launch, the update will now be released in October. The company states that it is working on improving stability, which is likely the reason for the delay.
Release Date and Update Information
The exact release date remains unknown, but it could potentially be mid-month. This information was first revealed in the release notes for the Android Beta Exit update, which is being installed on devices that opted out of the Android beta testing program. The updated notes advise users waiting for the stable Android 15 update to “ignore the [downgrade] OTA until Android 15 is available in October.”
Given that such a message can only come from Google, this essentially confirms the company’s plans to release the Android 15 update for Pixel devices in October, notes NIXSolutions. We’ll keep you updated on any further developments regarding the specific release date as more information becomes available.
What to Expect
While the delay may be disappointing for some users eagerly anticipating the new Android version, it’s important to note that Google’s focus on improving stability could result in a more polished and reliable update. As we approach October, more details about the features and improvements in Android 15 may emerge.
Users currently participating in the beta program can continue to test pre-release versions of Android 15, while those who have opted out should follow the instructions provided in the Beta Exit update notes.
