Pixel devices, which are usually the first in the market to get the latest Android updates, on the same day.

has already confirmed that it will have a major Android release in Q2 2025, followed by a minor release in the fourth quarter. This is in contrast to the typical Q3 launch window where the latest Android OS is usually rolled out. The company says it wants the software to be released for eligible devices at a faster rate and its decision was made to “better align with the schedule of device launches”.

Android 16 Features

Previous reports suggest that Android 16 could let third-party developers access Rich Ongoing Notifications, which is the OS’ own version of Dynamic Island. It enables them to add custom text, background colours, and icons to the status bar chips. However, its capability must first be integrated within the apps before end users can see it on their devices.

The update is also reported to have a new “bubble anything” feature that might allow users to use any app in a floating window on smartphones and tablets for an improved multitasking experience.
