Highlights The official rollout of Android 15 is delayed until October. Google reportedly completed testing Android 15 with Beta 4.2 two weeks ago. The report claims Google is aiming to improve system stability. It’s been two weeks since Google completed the testing of Android 15 with the release of Beta 4.2. Many tech enthusiasts since then have been waiting for an official rollout of the latest Android. But it turns out Google has different plans after all. As per recent reports, Google might not officially roll out the Android 15 until October. Online Tech News publication Android Authority claimed in one of their recent reports that the Android 15 update is now expected to arrive "possibly even in the middle of the month" in October. Android 15 Pixel Update Delayed Until October, Says Report. It is important to note that Google has recently released the Pixel 9 series phone with Android 14 out-of-the-box. And while many reviewers did point out how that is extremely disappointing, users were looking forward to getting an update within weeks to update to Android 15. According to the publication, Google is holding back the release and delaying it for almost another couple of months to “further improve the system's stability.” While there has been no official word from Google yet. But assuming this report is true and Google is planning to delay the Android 15 rollout, it only means that new Pixel 9 users will have to spend more time with Android 14. Instead of the Android 15 update, it appears the new Pixel 9 users will get the September 2024 security patch next month. The final Beta 4 for Android 15 was released in July. After the successful beta testing, many experts were expecting a public release as early as August or September. However, Google released Beta 4.2 and indicated that users should wait for the "final public stable release of Android 15 (AP3A) coming soon." In the meantime, Google already started testing the Android 15 QPR1 (Quarterly Platform Release 1) update. Android 15 has been fairly stable on the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro XL devices since the Beta 4.2 release. Android 15 QPR1 is expected for a December release. Despite the delay, Android 15 has been fairly stable on the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro XL devices since the Beta 4.2 release. However, some features introduced in the Android 15 Beta have been backported to Android 14. Android 15 is not scheduled to be a major update. According to Android Authority, the Android 15 Pixel update won’t be available until October, “possibly even in the middle of the month.” However, it includes many additions that will enhance the user experience such as a Private space, a new Material You volume panel, and enhancements to the widget picker. Meanwhile, Android 15 is expected to hit the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) next week. This usually coincides with the latest Android update release for the Pixel device. However, this year there is an unusual 15-day gap between Android 12’s source code release and the Pixel update. This gap appears to be quite far in advance.
