Google said that it is officially releasing its new Android 15 operating system and making its source code available on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). This marks the completion of Android 15 beta testing cycle, however, the new OS is not available for consumers yet.
“If you have a supported Pixel device, you will receive the public Android 15 over the air update when it becomes available,” Google said in the blog post. “If you don’t want to wait, you can get the most recent quarterly platform release (QPR) beta by joining the Android 15 QPR beta program at any time.”
Google generally releases the source code for its new Android OS alongside a stable update on its Pixel devices, however, the company has delayed the roll-out schedule this year.
Last month, Google rolled out a system update for Android 15 beta testers allowing them to revert to Android 14 if they wish to exit the Android Beta Program. The Update description reportedly stated that Android 15 will be released for eligible smartphones in October.
