Google is already working on Android 15. Below we collect all the rumors about the upcoming update and reveal which phones will receive it.
Google has officially confirmed the development of Android 15. After two developer previews, the first public beta version has been available for download since mid-April. We’ll tell you what is known so far about the new features of the Android 14 successor. In this article, we also list all the devices for which the manufacturer has already confirmed an update to Android 15.
What’s new in Android 15
The developer preview and the first beta versions primarily contain new features for developers, such as more extensive interfaces. Google only shared details of new features in May at its developer conference Google I/O. Artificial intelligence is set to be the focus of the new Android version.
The AI Gemini will replace the Google Assistant and will offer, among other things, better audio feedback and real-time warnings about spam calls. Google has also confirmed the following innovations:
In addition, there are various rumors about possible new features. The ability to communicate with your phone via satellite radio was already mentioned for Android 14. Now, according to AndroidAuthority, this could become part of Android 15.
Lines of code in the source code of Android 15 also point to a new Bluetooth function. If you want, your phone should automatically turn it back on after 24 hours if you forget it.
There are also rumors of an improvement in the algorithm for turning off the display. This could significantly improve the battery life of your phone. Furthermore, Google is rumored to be revising the desktop mode of Android 15.
When will Android 15 be released?
Along with the release of the first developer preview of Android 15, Google has also posted a schedule for the release of the update online. The OS is expected to reach platform stability in June. However, a release will probably not take place until October with the Pixel 9. This is because Google promises developers that they will have several months from June to test their apps.
What is the code name of Android 15?
Officially, Google no longer assigns code names for a new Android version, but internally this tradition is continued. At least we know that the code name of the software is “Vanilla Ice Cream”, which puts it in the line of dessert updates from Google. Android 14, for example, is called “Upside Down Cake” and Android 13 is often referred to as the “Tiramisu Update”.
