Android 15 Update Roadmap: Dev Preview, Public Beta, Platform Stability and Official Release

The countdown for Android 15 has begun as Google releases the first Developer Preview. At the same time, Google has also unveiled the roadmap for the Android 15 update. The preview program runs from February 2024 until the final public release to AOSP and OEMs, planned for later in the year.

Android 15 Update Roadmap

Android 15 is on the way, and developers can download the first Developer Preview (DP1)  starting today and explore the new features, APIs, and behavior changes. There are only two developer previews, so don’t miss the second one in March.

The beta program will start in April, just before the Google I/O event where the big reveal will happen. There might be four or five betas before the final release.

Developers Preview 1: February 

• Early baseline build focused on developer feedback, with new features, APIs, and behavior changes.

Developer Preview 2: March 

• Incremental update with additional features, APIs, and behavior changes.

Beta 1: April 

• Initial beta-quality release, over-the-air update to early adopters who enroll in Android Beta.

Beta 2: May 

• Incremental Beta-quality release

Beta 3: June 

• First Platform Stability milestone including final APIs and behaviors. Play publishing also opens.

Beta 4, 5: July August 

• Near-final builds for final testing.

Final Release: October

• Android 15 release to AOSP and ecosystem.

Android 14 was launched in early October, and we expect the same for Android 15. Android 15 will be available for Pixel devices and other manufacturers soon after.
