Google Pixel phones are now getting Android 15

Google announced Android 15 a while back, and since then, it has been in beta. The Google Pixel 9 series was expected to come with Android 15 out of the box, but that, unfortunately, didn’t happen. Today, however, Google has started rolling out the latest version of Android to its Pixel phones.

Android 15 isn’t just available to the latest Google Pixel 9 series, but also to other supported Pixel models. Let’s look at all the supported models and also look at all the key changes and features that Android 15 brings.

Which Pixel devices will get the stable Android 15 update?

Android 15 stable update will arrive on more than 10 Pixel smartphones, including the Pixel foldable devices. Here’s a list of all devices that will get the stable update.

– Google Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

– Google Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and Pixel 8a

– Google Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, and Pixel 7a

– Google Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, and Pixel 6a

– Google Pixel Fold

– Google Pixel Tablet

How to install Android 15 update on your Pixel device

Since this is a stable update, all the aforementioned Pixel devices will get an OTA update, which means you should get an update notification. However, If you don’t get a notification, you can check for it manually by heading to Settings.

What’s new in Android 15?

Android 15 brings in more features to your smartphone. One notable feature is the Private space, which allows users to create a separate space on your phone to hide sensitive apps. Apps in Private space will be automatically locked with biometrics, enhancing security.

Another notable feature that Google also highlighted in its blog is the theft detection feature that allows users to remotely lock their Android using their phone number.

There’s also an Offline Device Lock that automatically locks your Android’s screen if disconnected from the internet for a long time, ensuring that your data is safe and your phone is unusable at that moment.

Apart from this, Android 15 brings some other nifty features, too, like Partial screen sharing for screen recording a single app, Satellite connectivity support, support for sensitive notifications, and more.

While Android 15 is here for Pixel devices including the Pixel 9 flagship phones, it’s yet to reach other flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S24 series, OnePlus 12, and Nothing Phone 2, among other flagships. However, these devices and many others will soon get the taste of the latest version of Android starting later this year.
