Google Pixel smartphones will receive the Android 15 update starting in October 2024, as per a report. Android 15 update for Android devices usually arrives with the launch of the new Google Pixel handsets every year, but that was not the case this time as the Google Pixel 9 series still comes with Android 14 out-of-the-box.
Android 15 was globally release on 4th September 2024 and its source code was also made available at the Android Open Source Project (AOSP).
In August 2024, Google announce that Android 15 would be available in the coming weeks, starting with Google Pixel smartphones.
As per report, the Android 15 update for Pixel handsets could arrive in mid-October, with 15th October 2024 being the most likely release date for the update.
As there is precedence for the Google rolling its software updates and patches on a Monday, it could possibly be shift to the next day due to Columbus Day in the US falling on 14th October 2024.
So, 15th October 2024 is speculate to be the most likely date.
Following its availability at the AOSP last month, developers can now create custom variants of the Android 15 operating system (OS) which cater to their devices and port it.
As AOSP is a source code repository that contains the core of the Android OS.
