The next version of Android is a long time coming. It usually launches around the same time as the new Pixels, and this time around, the 15th iteration of the operating system won’t arrive until October.
Google is changing its habits. By introducing the Pixel 9 in mid-August, the search giant has de-synced the release schedule of its new phones with new versions of Android. As a result, the phones are being released without Android 15, which won’t arrive for a few long weeks.

As rumors have already suggested, the final version of the new Android will be released next October. Information comes to us fromRobot body Which was confirmed thanks to a message sent by Google to those currently testing the beta version of the system. On the screen Revert to an older version (Which allows you to revert back to the stable version from beta), the search giant actually notes that “ If you are waiting for the stable version of Android 15“It will come from here”October“
For all pixels since 2021
Unless Google provides a more precise release window, this message will at least serve as an official communication. Until now, the final version of Android 15 has been a well-kept secret, even if new major versions of Google's system are often released in these waters. Technically, this version of Android should first arrive on Pixel phones, and more precisely on all models since the Pixel 6 of 2021.
It is worth noting that the source code for Android 15 will arrive before long as it is scheduled to be fully published on September 3 (Always according toRobot body). But publishing the source code does not mean that the operating system will arrive immediately, as the latter often requires modifications before it is officially available. This will simply allow developers of all kinds to get a complete overview of the system.

This is undoubtedly why Google has prioritized informing users about the beta version of the system. Those who have been struggling with system bugs since the first beta version was released last April will no doubt be happy to know that the more stable image will be arriving very soon. The development teams will be able to improve their code before the final release.
