Google Pixel Smartphones Will Reportedly Get Android 15 Update Next Month: Supported Models
Several Pixel smartphones, ranging from the latest Pixel 9 series to the Pixel 6 series, are expected to get the upgrade to Android 15.
Android 15 update will soon be available to download on Pixel 9 and older handsets
Highlights
- Google is reported to roll out Android 15 update for Pixel on October 15
- Supported handsets include Pixel 9 series, Pixel Tablet and older models
- The update was globally released and moved to AOSP last month
Google Pixel smartphones will receive the Android 15 update starting next month, according to a report. The latest operating system (OS) 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 Pixel 9 series still shipped with Android 14 out-of-the-box. Android 15 was globally released on September 4 and its source code was also made available at the Android Open Source Project (AOSP).
Android 15 Update on Google Pixel Smartphones
Last month, Google announced that Android 15 would be available in the coming weeks, starting with its in-house Google Pixel smartphones. According to a recent Android Headlines report, the Android 15 update for Pixel handsets could arrive in mid-October, with October 15 being the most likely release date for the update.
Although there is precedence for the Mountain View-based tech giant rolling its software updates and patches on a Monday, it could possibly be shifted to the next day due to Columbus Day in the US falling on October 14 (Monday). Thus, October 15 is speculated to be the most likely date.
