Android 15: Which Phones Are Expected to Get the Update?
Android 15 has been launched for select devices. Google's Pixel and Motorola's smartphones and tablets are among the first to get the new update. If you're eager to know when can you update to Android 15, we provide a comprehensive list of its release dates based on the official update policies of major brands, including Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Vivo, Nothing, and more.
This year's Android 15 schedule has slightly shifted from the usual timing and Google's Pixel devices are not the first devices to receive the update. However, with the Android 15 source code already being released, it just depends on when manufacturers should make the major software available.
As the flagship series for the Android operating system, the Pixel phones were supposed to be updated first, but this changed this year with Vivo beating Google. And since the Pixel 9 phones launched before the Android 15 release in 2024, the list of Google phones eligible for the next Android release is bigger this time.
- Google Pixel 6
- Google Pixel 6 Pro
- Google Pixel 6a
- Google Pixel 7
- Google Pixel 7 Pro
- Google Pixel 7a
- Google Pixel 8
- Google Pixel 8 Pro
- Google Pixel Fold
- Google Pixel 9
- Google Pixel 9 Pro
- Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold
- Google Pixel 9 Pro XL
Samsung
Samsung has been delivering on its promise of better supporting its phones, after many (truly many) years of lackluster updates. The South Korean company currently offers a clear software policy for its phones, allowing its customers to know how long their phones will be kept updated against security threats.
However, Samsung announced at SDC 2024 that the One UI 7 based on Android 15 will only be released to the public in early 2025. But for developers and testers, the Koreans added that One UI 7 beta will be available for public users to test by the end of 2024, with reports pointing to November 21.

Does anyone know if Motorola has a list of supported devices because I have a edge+2023 it's only a Year old and has a 8gen2 so I think it should support android 15 but I can't seam to find a update schedule for Motorola devices
Currently, Motorola's policies for updating Edge and Razrs are:
Android versions: Three years for 2023 models and later.
Two years for previous models.

In theory, Your Edge+ should get Android 15. Based on the Android 14 rollout from Motorola, however, it should only come around mid-2025.
