Android 15 is a version of Google's Android OS. It was first released on 3 September 2024 to AOSP and was released on actively supported Google Pixel devices on 15 October 2024.[1]
The platform will be supported continuously with monthly releases and Quarterly Platform Releases (QPRs) until it is replaced by the next yearly release. Android 15-based operating systems that choose to stay on baseline releases will (like all recent Android Open Source Project releases) have standard Android Security Bulletin backport coverage for the next few years, as part of an initiative to backport a subset of important fixes to older Android 15 releases that aren't receiving active development.
Android 15 is the first yearly release to use the new trunk stable development model (introduced in Android 14 QPR2). Every quarter the platform will advance to a much more recent version of the primary development branch, with incomplete/unreleased functionality being disabled through feature launch flags. As a result, the build ID no longer starts with the first letter of the codename for releases, a convention first introduced with Android 8.x. Instead, the platform codename letter has rolled back to A
. Additionally, the Q platform vertical AQBB.YYMMDD.bbb
has also been removed for quarterly releases since they come directly from the primary development branch as stated before, and they no longer use the previous approach of branching off a new release branch from an older baseline release and backporting a lot of features/changes.
