It has been rumored that the Google Pixel phones will receive the Android 15 upgrade on the 15th of next month. The upgrade, which is expected to be the final OS update for Pixel 6 phones, will launch the day following Columbus Day in the United States.
While other phone makers can currently utilize Android 15, the Pixel series is expected to carry on the tradition of using “stock Android.” For the Google Pixel 9, which debuted with Android 14, this is the first OS upgrade. The Pixel 9 is guaranteed seven years of service, and updates will be coming out until Android 21.
Although the Pixel 6 phones will still receive security upgrades for the next two years, Android 15 is probably the last version for them. You really should upgrade if your Pixel 5 or below. Google concurs as the Pixel 5 and previous Pixel phones will not receive the Android 15 update.
Ironically, the Pixel 5 would have received upgrades for an additional three years if it had also received seven years of support. Google has been promoting its newest phones for something else, even if Android 15 is huge news. You guessed it: artificial intelligence.
Going back to the subject at hand, though, Android 15 will include a ton of new features. Allowing developers to use larger page file sizes is another really nice development coming from Google. To put it another way, Android is going to see a major speed increase.
Hopefully, Android 15’s release will go more smoothly than whatever Apple has been doing this year. Following the release of visionOS 2 without some functionality and iOS 18 without Apple Intelligence, Apple was forced to stop updating the software since iPadOS 18 was bricking M4 iPad units. Not a nice appearance at all, in fact.
Next year’s Galaxy S25 phones should be much better after Android 15 is released. We will also have some of the greatest phones available for both main operating systems if Apple fixes its issue.
In addition, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold recently received a high repairability test score, so clearly Google is doing something right.
