Is Android V on the Horizon? Android 15 Launch Speculated

Google might drop the first sneak peek of Android 15 for developers, as hinted by a comment on the Android Open Source Project platform. The initial version of Android 15, internally named Android V (for Vanilla Ice Cream), is set to roll out shortly after Google’s recent release of Android 14 QPR3 Beta 1. This could be the final major update for Android 14. Remember, the first glimpse of Android 14 came out on February 8.

Expect Google to come up with several Android 15 builds in the upcoming months, with the stable version likely landing for users in the latter half of 2024. Initially, the Android 15 preview will be up for grabs for developers using Pixel phones, particularly those powered by Tensor like Pixel 6, Pixel 7, and the upcoming Pixel 8 series.

This early Android 15 build targets developers, giving them a heads-up on what’s coming next in the Android world. It’ll showcase new features and changes under the hood, aiding developers in fine-tuning their apps/games for the upcoming Android version.

Leaked info suggests Android 15 will bring goodies like a “private space” feature to hide or lock specific apps. Plus, expect better multitasking, especially on foldable devices, with features like app pairing and revamped Bluetooth pairing. Also, there’s buzz about an upcoming “Security State” API, likely to beef up device security. Exciting times ahead for Android enthusiasts and developers alike!
