The biggest disappointment of the Pixel 9 series was that it launched without Android 15; while it has been a long-standing tradition to launch a new Pixel with the latest version of Android, Android 15 did not seem ready for prime time However, almost a month after the Pixel 9 launch event, we may finally know when the update will be available

According to Android Headlines, Android 15 could begin rolling out to Pixel phones on October 15, about two months after the Pixel 9 launch The site does not reveal where it obtained this date, so we cannot comment on its validity, but it is consistent with what we have heard so far about Android 15

It is difficult to gauge when Google will release a new version of Android Historically, new software arrived at the end of summer, late August or early September In recent years, however, they have sometimes been pushed back to October, as with Android 12 and Android 14

Google confirmed earlier this month that Android 15 has been completed and sent to the Android Open Source Project This usually coincides with a general release to Pixels, but this year Google said Pixels would get the software “in the coming weeks”; an October rollout would be consistent with that promise and with rumors that an October launch is on the horizon

More importantly, October 15 is when we expected the Pixel 9 to launch, before Google moved the launch date up two months If Google had not done this, the Pixel 9 and Android 15 would have launched at the same time as before

Google has yet to confirm anything, but those eagerly awaiting the launch of Android 15 will have to be patient for a few more weeks; as for those without Pixel phones, your guess as to when Android 15 will arrive is as good as ours You are about as correct as we are

Android 15 will include new private spaces to protect sensitive apps, satellite connectivity for compatible phones, high quality webcam support, new in-app camera controls, new ways to protect sensitive notifications, and many other small but Many new features will be included, including important, quality-of-life changes
