Google just leaked when the Android 15 Developer Preview is coming
It’s February, which means the first developer preview for the new version of Android should be coming any day now. And thanks to a comment posted on the Android Open Source Project, we know precisely when it’s coming.
According to the comment, the first developer preview is scheduled for February 15. That would be this Thursday. Now, typically, Google releases developer previews and betas on the second Wednesday of the month. So, it could actually be coming on February 14, but either way, it looks like this is the week.
The developer on AOSP mentions “Android V,” which is the internal dessert-themed codename for Android 15. That’s Vanilla Ice Cream. It’s unfortunate that Google did away with the dessert names publicly; we really miss those statues for each version of Android.
Android 15 Developer Preview will likely only be available to Pixels
Typically, the first few developer previews are only available on Google Pixel devices. We are expecting the Pixel 5a to lose support for software updates this year. This means that the Pixel 6 and newer will likely get Android 15, and that includes the developer preview, according to Google’s own update schedule. The Pixel 5a is scheduled to stop receiving updates in August 2024, and Android 15 is likely coming in September or possibly October.
The developer preview will be our first authentic look at what Google has been cooking up for Android 15. However, it is essential to note that a lot of the new features will be saved for the first or second beta, which is typically announced at Google I/O in May. In recent years, new versions of Android have been pretty scarce on new user-facing features, with most of those being saved for the feature drops that come about every three months. The recent Android updates have mainly been under-the-hood changes. But we could be in for a surprise this year with Android 15.
It’s hard to believe that Google is already on Android 15; it seems like just yesterday, we were getting updates to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Time sure does fly.
