While Google is preparing to present the new Pixel 9a model to Android lovers, it is said that this phone may be Google’s only phone released with Android 15. In a recent announcement, Google announced that it is following a new roadmap for Android version updates. Here are the details…
Google’s Pixel 9a may be the only phone to launch with Android 15
According to the change, Android 16 will be available as a stable version between April and June 2025, that is, earlier than expected. The accelerated release schedule is said to come so that flagship phones can always launch with the latest Android version.
However, it may be a bit difficult for the Pixel 9a to fully fit into this scheme; because the introduction of Pixel 9a is planned for March 2025. So, the device will be released before the release of Android 16. The launch of Pixel 9a with Android 15 shows that Google’s mid-segment phone series may have difficulty complying with the new operating system strategy.
In fact, the previous models of the Pixel 9 series, Pixel 8 and Pixel 9, came with Android 14 when they launched. It is thought that Google’s new flagships will be released with Android 16. In this regard, it is said that Pixel 9a will remain the only model released with Android 15. In other words, Google’s mid-segment series may be a little behind in terms of up-to-date software support compared to its flagships.
If we look at Google’s new strategy, the company wants to increase the adoption rate of the Android version in general and offer the most up-to-date operating system with new devices. However, the fact that some devices such as Pixel 9a will not be able to catch updates may raise questions among users.
Let’s see how Pixel 9a users will react to this situation and will Google close this gap with updates in the coming days? What do you think about this? You can write your opinions in the comments section below.
