It was previously reported that Google may release a major update to Android 15 in October. Although the exact release date is unknown at this time, we previously mentioned that this update will be rolling out to Pixel users in the middle of this month. Based on previous reports, Google is likely to release the Android 15 update for all compatible Pixel devices later today.
If past reports are true, Android 15 could be released today, but the company may delay the release to fix additional bugs and issues.
Google typically releases software updates around the same time, so based on past reports, the company could release the Android 15 update later today. Comparing past update releases, Google was supposed to release Android 15 on Monday, October 14th. However, Monday is Columbus Day, which is technically a public holiday in the United States. This means the company could release Android 15 the next day, today.
Google has already pushed Android 15 to AOSP, with the final update expected to arrive sometime in October. The reported release date has already arrived, but it remains to be seen whether the company will take that step. It all depends on whether the software boots without bugs or problems. If the company needs more time, the release could be pushed back by several days or weeks.
Android 15 will be available on all devices from Pixel 6 to the latest Pixel 9 series. This year, Google decided to release Pixel 9 with Android 14 early. This is very different from previous releases as new devices are always launched with the latest software. The new devices are currently running last year’s software update and are still fairly capable, but awaiting new additions including various AI features exclusive to the Pixel 9 lineup.
The update should be available around 10 a.m. Pacific time, the same time Apple releases software updates, but there may also be some delays as the company chooses to experiment with timing. It is expected. Take this news with a grain of salt, as it only confirms previous reports that the release could happen on October 15th. We’ll cover this update in detail, so be sure to stay tuned.
