It looks like the much-anticipated Android 16 OS upgrade will arrive much sooner than expected. According to an article from Phandroid, the date that the Android 16 might come out on will be June 3, 2025. With that date, it looks like it will come out earlier than the Pixel 10. The probable date of June 3 for this very exciting OS upgrade unveil contrasts the usual Fall release dates of past Androids and Pixels over the several years. Android Headlines said that the Android 16 will “head to AOSP on the same day that the OTA will start to roll out to Pixel devices”. The very recent releases of the Android 15 and Pixel 9 show that Google is changing up the way (and the time periods) the company is unveiling their products. Google itself even stated how the upcoming year’s releases will get to implement new developer APIs. “Next year, we’ll have a major release in Q2 and a minor release in Q4, both of which will include new developer APIs. The Q2 major release will be the only release in 2025 to include behavior changes that can affect apps. We’re planning the major release for Q2 rather than Q3 to better align with the schedule of device launches across our ecosystem, so more devices can get the major release of Android sooner”.Android 16 Release Date: What to Expect Next Year
