Google has confirmed that Android 16 will be launched earlier than expected, and our colleagues at Android Headlines know the exact release date.
What We Know
Android 16 will be available on AOSP and will begin rolling out to Pixel devices on June 3, 2025. This is 2-3 months earlier than usual. It was also announced that the Pixel 9a will be released next year.
The early launch of Android 16 is aimed at ensuring new devices receive system support before the fall. Faster updates will allow Google to make changes more easily and help developers and manufacturers quickly adopt new Android features.
The shift to a June launch for Android 16 is expected to reduce errors when releasing new devices.
