This fundamentally superior Google Pixel won’t get the Android 15 update\u060c<\/p>\n

\n

Among budget devices, the Pixel 5a will still have its place \u2013 it might be from 2021, but its battery and camera performance may put many 2024 rivals to shame.<\/p>\n

That's why it's grim news that the Pixel 5a won't get the Android 15 update, but you can't win 'em all (via Android titles<\/a>).<\/p>\n

We know that the Google<\/a> Pixel 5a is guaranteed to receive Android and security updates until August 2024. That's around then Android 15<\/span> could launch, but, according to the report, Google says in a blog post that the Android 15 Developer Preview is only available for the Pixel 6 and later, making the Pixel 5a ineligible for Android 15<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Pixel 6<\/span> and the Pixel 6 Pro<\/a>, Android 15<\/span> will be the last major Android update for the duo, as their operating system updates are expected to end in October 2024. Owners of the Pixel 6<\/span> and the Pixel 6 Pro<\/span> should receive security updates for another two years, until October 2026.<\/p>\n

THE Android 15<\/span> is the first Android update that will only be available for Pixel phones with Tensor chipsets (the Pixel 5a has a Qualcomm Snapdragon under the hood). <\/p>\n

The developer preview can currently be tested on Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7, Pixel 6a, Pixel 6 Pro<\/span>, Pixel 6<\/span>, Pixel Fold and Pixel Tablet \u2013 owners must manually download factory images and flash their devices if they want to try it. Please remember: this is NOT a release aimed at the average everyday user, but rather a basic first release intended for developers only. However, there are some notable new features in Android 15<\/span> found in the release notes which should be mentioned:<\/p>\n

Focus on privacy and security<\/span><\/p>\n
