Android 15 is likely a ways off, but we’ll potentially get a glimpse at it very soon.
According to a public Google developer comment spotted by 9to5Google, the first preview version of the new Android update will roll out on Feb. 15. The comment referred to it as “Android V,” which 9to5Google points out is similar to the already-known internal codename for Android 15, “Vanilla Ice Cream.”
Yes, Google names Android builds after desserts.
Anyway, this would obviously be a pre-release preview for Pixel devices only. Regular folks would probably do well to stay away from developer previews because they aren’t finished and thus aren’t exactly stable. But it could at least give us an idea of what to expect from Android 15. Rumored features include the return of lock screen widgets and a “Private Space” feature that would let you hide sensitive apps from onlookers.
Android users have something to look forward to this week, if nothing else.
