Google releases Android 15 to AOSP

Google has finally released the source code for Android 15 on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP).

While that’s big news for developers, Pixel users will have to wait a bit longer for the stable update.

Originally slated for September, the Android 15 update for Pixel devices is now looking more like an October release. Historically, Google had also pushed a Pixel update coinciding the source code release to AOSP.

In the meantime, Google has been keeping Pixel owners busy with the September 2024 security patch, which includes fixes for a security vulnerability and improved Wi-Fi performance for the Pixel 9 series.

Other smartphone manufacturers, like Samsung, OnePlus, and Xiaomi, have already gotten their hands on pre-release versions of Android 15.

This has given them a head start in developing their own custom skins based on the new operating system. Samsung, for instance, is gearing up to unveil its One UI 7 skin in early October.
