Android 15 is released to AOSP
4 September 2024, 00:09:42
Google announced it started releasing Android 15 and making the source code available at the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). Android 15 will be available on supported Pixel devices in the coming weeks, as well as on select devices from Samsung, Honor, iQOO, Lenovo, Motorola, Nothing, OnePlus, Oppo, realme, Sharp, Sony, Tecno, vivo, and Xiaomi in the coming months.
Some of the improvements Android 15 offers include changes that improve the way your app runs on any platform release. The list continues with improved typography and internationalization, camera and media, user experience, privacy, and security enhancements. During the next five days from the Spotlight Week on Android 15, many technical topics will be covered for developers. More info on the Android 15 developer site (link in the source below).
If you have a supported Pixel device, you will receive the public Android 15 over the air update when it becomes available. If you don't want to wait, you can get the most recent quarterly platform release (QPR) beta by joining the Android 15 QPR beta program at any time.
If you're already in the QPR beta program on a Pixel device that supports the next Android release, you'll likely have been offered the opportunity to install the first Android 15 QPR beta update. If you want to opt-out of the beta program without wiping your device, don't install the beta and instead wait for an update to the release version when it is made available on your Pixel device. Once you've applied the stable release update, you can opt out without a data wipe as long as you don't apply the next beta update.Source
