Android 15 Update Anticipated for Release Later This Year

Developer preview expected as early as February 15, introducing new features and improvements.

Google is set to release Android 15, the next major update for Android smartphones, later this year, with a developer preview expected as early as February 15.
Android 15 will introduce new features and improvements, including a split NFC from system updates, a battery health percentage feature, and a hidden space called Private Space for sensitive apps.
The first devices to receive Android 15 are expected to be Google's Pixel 9, followed by other Pixel models, select Samsung, OnePlus, Motorola, and TCL smartphones.
Rumors suggest Android 15 will not be publicly available before August or October 2024, following Google's pattern of releasing major updates after its hardware events.
Android 15's developer preview, codenamed Vanilla Ice Cream, is primarily for developers due to potential bugs and incomplete features, with public beta builds to follow in the coming months.
