The stable Android 15 update is finally here. It officially arrived on October 15, 2024, and Google’s Pixels will be the first phones in line. Not every Pixel is supported, though, so which will receive the update?
Google’s OS software support ranges from three to seven years, so not every Pixel phone will get Android 15. Read on for the complete list with details.
Which Pixels will get the Android 15 update?

If you own a Pixel 6 or a newer Pixel handset, you can expect the Android 15 update. The upcoming Android version will be the last one to make it to the Pixel 6, while all the other phones listed below will continue to be supported for at least another year. You can check out for how long exactly in our dedicated Pixel software support length guide.
- Pixel 9 Pro Fold
- Pixel 9 series
- Pixel 8 series
- Pixel 8a
- Pixel Fold
- Pixel Tablet
- Pixel 7a
- Pixel 7 series
- Pixel 6a
- Pixel 6 series
In total, 14 Pixel phones — and one Pixel tablet — will get updated to Android 15. So if you own a Pixel 5a with 5G or an older Pixel phone, software support has already ended for your device, at least according to Google’s timeline.
When will my Pixel get Android 15?

Per Google’s confirmation, supported Pixels will have access to Android 15 from October 15, 2024.
As usual, Pixel devices will be the first to get it. That’s a major benefit of Google’s Pixel lineup, as other manufacturers take a lot more time to ship out the latest version of the OS. That’s because they need to customize it with their own Android skins, whether it’s Samsung’s One UI or OnePlus’ Oxygen OS.
Pixel devices will be the first to get the Android 15 update.
It can take weeks or even months before companies release their first Android 15 update, and even then, it’s available for their high-end phones first.
Can I download Android 15 on my Pixel right away?

There’s a very high chance that if you own a supported Pixel device the update will arrive on day one or shortly after. It’s always a good idea to check for a pending update. To do this, head to Settings > System > Software update. If any update is available, it’ll be displayed here. Follow the steps to download it and upgrade to Android 15.
