It was recently reported that Google is delaying the release of Android 15 for Pixel phones We initially thought it might be released in September, when the Pixel 9 devices would be available, but this report indicated that would not be the case

Now Android Authority has found the Android 15 Beta Exit downgrade release notes and confirmed that Android 15 will be released in October, not September as everyone had hoped According to the report, users waiting for a stable update of Android 15 should “ignore the OTA until Android 15 is available in October Barring some miraculous turnaround (or catastrophic problem) by Google, this would almost guarantee an October release

According to a previous report from Android Authority, Android 15's stability is not where it needs to be, forcing Google to hold off a bit longer After all, while it is unfortunate that Pixel owners will have to wait to get the latest version of the OS, I would rather the company hold off on it and make sure the OS is where it needs to be before launching

Interestingly, Google refused to confirm initial reports from Android Authority that Android 15 has been delayed, confirming only through the release notes Perhaps the company did not intend to include a date in the note or simply wanted to control the message In any case, Pixel owners and those who plan to buy the Pixel 9 on launch day should be prepared to use Android 14 for a little while longer

Here's the full list of devices that will eventually launch with Android 15:

The release notes say October for the launch date, so we don't know the exact date An earlier report said that Google would have an update ready in mid-October, but we will have to wait for Google to put the final touches on it and release it
