2024 will see the launch of yet another Android update, and soon after, wave after wave of phone updates. Even before most companies complete their Android 14 rollouts, we have a pretty good idea of which phones will receive the Android 15 upgrade, and share with you a list of the phones that should be updated to the new 2024 Android version below.

The first thing to note is that Android 15 is in the middle of the developer preview of the new operating system, which marks the start of the development path for the new system. After that, during Google I/O 2024—expected to be held in May or June—a public beta should start, including phones from brands such as Xiaomi, OnePlus, and more.

Note: Since the system is not yet official, this list is based on the official policies from the different manufacturers, taking into account the fact that Android 15 should launch around October.

Google

As the flagship series for the Android operating system, the Pixel phones will be the first to receive the update. Android 15 is expected to launch with the future Pixel 9 phones, with a simultaneous update for the following phones:

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.

Xiaomi

With the Chinese giant currently migrating from MIUI to HyperOS, we hope to see Xiaomi further improve its update policy to match (or better) Samsung's, but only time will tell.

For now, we can count on the company's official list of security updates to know which phones are promised the Android 15 upgrade. Additionally, we marked in italics Xiaomi models that are promised the Android 15 update but are not part of the Android Enterprise program.

OnePlus

OnePlus managed to match Samsung's software update policy in the flagship space, and not only that, managed to silence its critics by launching truly interesting phones in 2023 such as the OnePlus Open. We are pretty certain of which OnePlus flagships will receive Android 15, but the same cannot be said about the mid-range Nord models.

OnePlus phones expected to receive Android 15:

Sony

With a small phone lineup, Sony has been pretty consistent when it comes to Android updates, even if the Japanese company has not really committed to an official update policy. These are the Xperia phones expected to receive the Android 15 update:

Asus

The Taiwanese company's Android commitment was briefly questioned in 2023, with rumors about a possible end of the Zenfone line quickly denied by Asus. Its small flagship lineup and short update policy—traditionally only two Android upgrades—makes for a very short list of Zenfone and ROG Phones receiving the Android 15 update:

Other brands

We will update this article with further brands as soon as the Android 15 developer beta starts, but there is one particular model that is already promised the Android 15 update:

This list will be updated once brands announce their update schedules. Did we forget a specific model? Please let us know in the comments!

Having written about technology since 2008 for a number of websites in Brazil, Spain, Denmark, and Germany, I specialize in the mobile ecosystem, including various models, components, and apps. I tend to not only value performance and specifications, but also things like repairability, durability, and manufacturer support. I tend to prioritize the end-user's point of view whenever possible.
