Google has finally launched its most anticipated phones of the year. The flagship Pixel series has four models this year, including the second foldable. The line consists of Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL and Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
The new Pixel series comes with various improvements including design changes. However, there is one thing that users are not ready to accept: the new Pixel 9 series runs Android 14 OS out of the box and not Android 15. Google usually releases its new Pixel phones with the new Android update. Therefore, everyone expected Android 15 to be included in the phone Pixel 9. However, it did not happen. So why didn’t Google include Android 15 on the Pixel 9 by default? There can be many reasons. We think the main reason for this is that Google launched the Pixel 9 earlier this year. Google usually launches its flagship phones in October, giving it plenty of time to integrate and test the latest version of the Android operating system before releasing the phones to the market.
However, this time Google launched the Pixel 9 almost two months earlier, giving the search giant less time to include Android 15 in the Google Pixel 9. To launch a phone, they need to have it ready at least a month before the date of release. and Android 15 was not ready in the stability phase.
We are sorry that the phone will receive an OS update in less since Android 15 will be billed as the first major update of the device. Google promised seven years of OS updates for the Pixel 9 series, so Android 21 could be the last major update for the Pixel 9 line.
