Android 15 Stable Release Imminent: Pixel Series to Get First Taste, Chinese Brands to Follow

According to media reports, the highly anticipated stable release of Android 15 is set to go live by the end of the third quarter, meaning a formal rollout by the end of September. As Google's flagship devices, the Google Pixel 9 series will be the first to experience the stable version of Android 15, with simultaneous updates for the Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 8, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7, Pixel 7a, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6, Pixel 6a, Pixel Fold, and Pixel Tablet. Unfortunately, Pixel 5 and earlier models will miss out on this system upgrade. While these devices were trendsetters at their launch, their update plans seem to have reached their end with the passage of time.

One of the key highlights of Android 15 is the integration of Google's Gemini large language model, fully embracing AI technology. With Gemini, Google Pixel devices gain the ability to detect scam calls using AI, identifying sensitive words in conversations and promptly alerting users. Additionally, Android 15 has native support for satellite communication, with the Pixel 9 series officially launching its satellite communication feature. It's important to note that this functionality is currently limited to the United States and comes with a free two-year period.

Beyond the Google Pixel series, Chinese smartphone brands will also release their deeply customized systems built upon Android 15 in the second half of the year. For instance, OPPO's ColorOS 15 will begin its internal testing phase by the end of the month. It's foreseeable that as Android 15 officially releases, Chinese smartphone brands will successively introduce their deeply customized systems based on Android 15, delivering richer features and a smoother user experience.

The launch of Android 15 marks a new chapter for smartphone operating systems. The infusion of AI technology brings safer and more convenient user experiences, while the addition of satellite communication extends the application scenarios for smartphones. We believe that in the near future, Android 15 will bring even more exciting surprises to users.
