Google has reportedly kicked off the stable Android 15 update rollout for Pixel devices. The company briefly informed the rollout and then pulled the announcement. The document suggests Android 15 is available starting today.

AndroidPolice reports Google accidentally confirmed that Android 15 will roll out to Pixel phones today. The new OS will be available as the October Pixel Feature Drop with new features for eligible Pixel smartphones and tablets.

Seasoned Pixel owners can expect the official announcement and the OTA around 10 AM PT. Despite the confirmation pulled back, we still believe the rollout to begin today – aligning with Google’s mid-October pledge.

Google Pixel owners have been waiting for the Stable update for a long time. The company has started the Beta Program earlier this year. The Beta testing switched to Android 15 as QPR but Stable was being delayed due to unforeseen reasons.

This rollout will pave the way for several Android smartphone vendors. Samsung, in particular, is also preparing to open the Beta Program of One UI 7. Galaxy users could expect an imminent Beta Program for Developers followed by the Public.
