Google to unveil Android 14 and Pixel 8 on October 4, says Telus
Google is set to launch Android 14 and Pixel 8 series on October 4, according to a Canadian carrier. Telus says the new OS update will be available for Pixel 4a and above models, while the Pixel 4a will not get it as the smartphone was never eligible for Android 14. The update date may change and take some weeks to reach all devices.
Android 14 is not a major release like Android 12, which introduced Material You design. It is unclear why Google is delaying the stable release until October when it usually comes out in September. The last time Google did this was with Android 12 and Pixel 6 in 2021.
However, Google has already released Android 14 Beta 5.3 on September 6 and started testing Android 14 QPR1, which is expected to launch in December 2023. Existing Pixel owners will have something new to try on the same day as the Pixel 8 announcement.
