Android 15 ‘Vanilla Ice Cream’ Release Date Leaks for 2024

The tech world is abuzz with rumors of Google’s next major mobile update: Android 15. Leaks hint that the latest version of the popular operating system, code-named “vanilla ice cream”, could be arriving as soon as mid-October 2024. Traditionally, Google usually releases Android updates in October with Pixel releases. Nonetheless, this year, Google unveiled the Pixel 9 series in August with Android 14.

The update will reportedly bring improved performance, enhanced AI features and better support for foldable devices. It may also introduce advancements in privacy controls, energy efficiency, and user customization, making it one of the most anticipated updates yet. 

Also following Google’s tradition of desert theme codenames, Android 15 promises to be a sweet and refreshing addition to the Android ecosystem. 

With the addition of UI components that display the connection, Android 15 is enhancing support for satellite connectivity. Applications will be able to recognize when a user is linked to a satellite network and alert them about the network’s constrained connection. Moreover, sending and receiving messages over satellite connections is also supported for SMS/MMS and RCS. Previously, an extra device like the Motorola Defy was the only method to bring satellite communication to Android devices. 

The latest Pixel devices should be the first to receive the stable Android 15 update, with other Android devices following behind. Given that Google has had plenty of time to work out any flaws, the delayed release of Android 15 also suggests that there may be fewer in the upgrade.
