Google is currently seeding eligible Pixel series smartphones and tablets with an Android 15-based stable update, including the company’s current flagship Pixel 9 series. This update brings several new features to Pixel smartphones.
Google is usually the first brand to push the latest Android OS updates to smartphones, but this time it joined in a little late. Brands like vivo and iQOO have already updated some of their devices with the latest Android 15-based FunTouchOS 15.
Currently, 13 Pixel devices are eligible for the Android 15 update, including the Pixel Tablet and Pixel Fold.
What’s new in the Android 15 update for Google Pixel?
Google Pixel’s Android 15 update adds several privacy and security features, including new anti-theft features. However, visually there is not much difference between Android 14 and Android 15.

AI-powered theft detection lock is a new feature available to users. This feature automatically locks your smartphone if someone tries to snatch it and run away.
When someone removes the SIM card from a Pixel smartphone running Android 15, the device requires authentication to access the device, and if authentication fails, the device is automatically locked and unusable.
The Android 15 update for the Pixel series also introduces new ways to manage apps, including Private Spaces, a feature that’s been available in custom skins like OneUI for a while. This allows users to hide certain apps from the app drawer and only access them after authenticating.
For foldable devices ––Pixel Fold and Pixel 9 Pro Fold (review)––Android 15 adds the ability to pin apps to the taskbar. This can be one app or two paired apps. This enhances the multitasking capabilities of the foldable device.
Android 15 adds new camera features across the Pixel lineup, including low-light boost and in-app camera controls, network improvements including satellite connectivity for messaging on eligible models, and one-tap app login with passkey. I am.
If you purchased a Pixel smartphone within the past few years, your device is likely eligible for the Android 15 update.
