Google Confirms Pixel’s Android 15 Will Roll Out in October

Last month, Samsung did not announce any concrete plans for when we will be able to get Android 15. It was delayed indefinitely. According to the release notes for the Android 14 downgrade, OTA confirms that the Pixel will release the Android 15 update in October.

Google is planning to release Pixel 9 early this year; however, Google won’t roll out Android 15 to Pixel devices next month as they’re working to improve its stability. This could potentially account for why it has taken this time to come out.

Android expert Mishaal Rahman for Android Authority reported that Google has updated the release notes for the Android Beta Exit OTA that will downgrade your Pixel to Android 14. It now explicitly says that Android 15 will be released in October.

Samsung is planning to introduce new AI features that are somehow inspired by Apple’s iOS. We might see an update with the appearance of stock app icons in one UI 7. 

Apps such as Camera, Dialer, and Contacts will be impacted. Moreover, their icons will have a more 3D look, making them resemble Apple iOS 18. It might have a two-page notification panel, a notification cooldown, satellite connectivity, more reliable NFC, and accessible Bluetooth control.

Google has yet to provide an official date for the Android 15 release, however, users can anticipate that the stable version will be made available starting in October, commencing with Pixel devices and subsequently expanding to smartphones from other brands.
