Google has already sent out the Android 15 code to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), but the official update for its Pixel phones is still pending. There have been several rumours about the release date of the new system and it now seems we have more concrete information. According to a recent report from Android Headlines, the Android 15 update will begin rolling out to Pixel devices on October 15. This date aligns with Google’s typical update timeline, although delays could happen if any last-minute bugs arise. The delay between the AOSP release and the OTA update for Pixel devices may indicate that Google is working to ensure a more stable and refined release.

Supported Pixel Devices
The Android 15 update will be available for the Pixel 6 series and newer models. This includes the Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 8, and the newly announced Pixel 9 devices. Though the Android 15 code has been available in the AOSP, Google has opted to delay the release for Pixel devices to ensure a smooth experience for users. The delay gives Google extra time to address any major bugs or compatibility issues that could arise. Given the complex nature of modern software updates, Google appears to be taking a more cautious approach. The company wants to ensure that the Android 15 is as polished as possible before reaching users’ phones.
If all goes according to plan and there are no last-minute delays, then the wait is almost over as we will receive the Android 15 update in a few weeks. With the Pixel 6 and newer models slated to receive the update, including the latest Pixel 9, this will mark a major software upgrade for Google’s flagship devices. Recall that Google announced its new Pixel devices early (in August as against October) and this is why it now appears as though there is a significant delay in the update arrival.
