Android enthusiasts, rejoice! While we’re still enjoying the latest Android 14 QPR3 beta, rumors suggest a bigger treat might be just around the corner: the first developer preview of Android 15 DP1.
According to a comment spotted by 9to5Google on an Android Open-Source Project (AOSP) page, Google is planning to launch Android 15 Developer Preview on Thursday, February 15th. This aligns with the typical timeline for developer preview releases, as both Android 14 and 13 debuted around this time in their respective years.
While this information isn’t an official confirmation, it certainly fuels the excitement. Internally codenamed “Vanilla Ice Cream,” Android 15 is expected to be officially named “Android V.” This upcoming version promises to be a significant update, and developers are eager to get their hands on it.
However, it’s important to remember that unexpected delays can always occur. Google might reschedule the release for various reasons, so consider this information a possibility rather than a guaranteed launch date.
Nevertheless, the prospect of diving into the early stages of Android 15 is enticing. If you have a compatible Pixel device (generally Pixel 5a and later) and are comfortable with the potential bugs and instabilities of developer previews, getting ready for Thursday wouldn’t hurt.
So, keep your eyes peeled for any official announcements from Google, and prepare your Pixel for a possible taste of Android’s next iteration! Remember, even if DP1 doesn’t arrive this week, the wait will be worth it for the exciting features and improvements Android 15 is expected to bring.
