Android 15: Possible release date, rumored features, supported devices and more
Android 15 may not be set to arrive until later in the year, but we already know a few things about what Google has in store for this year’s software upgrade. We've now had two developer previews and the first Android 15 public beta, and that means people have been crawling through this early code in search of new features, upgrades to existing ones and any fine-tuning Google’s been up to.
So far we’ve seen features that let users cooldown notifications, changes that could see in-app web pages load faster, a change that offers partial screen sharing. the return of lock-screen widgets on Pixel Tablet, better visual accessibility and forcing apps to fill the screen edge-to-edge.
Of course that’s no doubt just scratching the surface of what Android 15 could offer. Here’s everything we know so far.
ANDROID 15 POSSIBLE RELEASE DATE
The release date for Android 15 is a bit of a mystery right now. Typically the new software arrives in late Summer, but there have been instances where this wasn’t the case. The launch of Android 12 and Android 14 happened in October, much closer to the launch of that year’s Pixel phones.
So while there’s every possibility Android 15 launches in late summer, as usual, we may have to wait a couple more months. Unfortunately we’re not going to find out for certain until much closer to the time.
Google’s Android 15 development calendar doesn’t help much either, noting that beta releases will commence in Spring ahead of Platform Stability from June. So far we've only got to the first part of that timeline with the release of Android 15's first beta.
The final release window is rather vague, simply noting that the final release will happen an unspecified time after July. Which is as close a release window as we’ll get ahead of Google I/O 2024 in May.
