Google is set to release Android 16 Beta 4 in the next few hours. Pixel users will receive this update as the first big OTA after the OS reached Platform Stability. Meanwhile, Samsung has yet to resume the Android 15 rollout for Galaxy devices.
With the third Beta, Android 16 hit the Platform Stability milestone. Now, the next Beta updates won’t bring major changes that affect apps and the ecosystem. That said, the operating system is now getting the finishing touches before public release.
Google aims to release Android 16 as soon as June this year. The rollout may begin shortly after the I/O 2025 event, bringing it a quarter ahead from the past years. Samsung is confirmed to be the first beneficiary of this release timeline shift.
Android 15 was officially released on October 15, 2024. It’s been around one and a half years, yet Samsung users are waiting for the upgrade. The rollout was commenced on April 7 but was put on hold due to some serious lock screen issues.
While users are awaiting Android 15, Samsung is already working on Android 16. The next One UI update won’t bring major changes but will focus on refining the user interface with subtle tweaks and functional improvements.
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7 will launch with Android 16-based One UI 8. The new foldables would be the first to come pre-installed with the new OS. Android OEMs like Xiaomi and Oppo/Vivo would also follow the pursuit.
