In a surprising turn of events, Google has accidentally announced that the highly anticipated Android 15 is set to roll out to Pixel smartphones today.

This update will be gradually available, reaching carriers worldwide over the coming week.

What to Expect from Android 15?

This release is likely to coincide with the October Pixel Feature Drop, hinting at the introduction of fresh features and enhancements that users didn't experience during the beta testing phase.

Pixel Watch users can also expect exciting new functionalities alongside their phone counterparts.

Details of the Rollout

The rollout for Android 15 was hinted at with reports circulating in mid-September that pinpointed today, October 15, as the release date.

Initially, the source code was made available on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) back in early September, but Google had not issued the over-the-air (OTA) update until now.

An inadvertent post on Google’s German Pixel Community forum announced the launch before being swiftly removed.

However, this slip was enough for Redditors to capture screenshots, providing undeniable proof that the update is imminent for all compatible Pixel devices.

What If You're Already on the Beta?

For those currently using the Android 15 QPR1 beta, today’s update will not be accessible unless you opt-out of the beta program.

However, this process comes with its drawbacks, as it requires a factory reset that wipes your device’s internal storage – a crucial detail to keep in mind!

Motorola and Other Brands Join the Android 15 Party

Interestingly, Motorola appears to be following suit by potentially launching its own Android 15 beta test today.

Reports from users of the Moto Edge 50 Fusion in India indicate they are already being prompted about the update.

Yet, this seems to involve a beta build intended for select participants in their testing program.

Aside from Google and Motorola, other major players like Xiaomi, Vivo, and Nothing are also expected to make announcements regarding their Android 15 timelines soon.

Get Ready to Upgrade!

For Pixel phone enthusiasts and tech aficionados alike, today marks the beginning of a significant update in Android’s evolution.

Keep an eye out for notifications, as the rollout is anticipated to start around 10 a.m. PT.
