Tech enthusiasts and Android users may not have to wait as long for the next big OS update. Google recently confirmed a new, accelerated release timeline for Android 16, with the update set to roll out between April and June 2025—much earlier than the typical Q3 or Q4 launch.
A fresh leak from Android Headlines, a credible source, suggests a more specific launch date: June 3, 2025. On this date, Google is expected to release the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) alongside Over-the-Air (OTA) updates for Pixel devices. This marks a strategic shift aimed at ensuring more smartphones hit the market pre-loaded with Android 16, especially Google’s anticipated Pixel 10 series, expected in August 2025.
While Google hasn’t detailed how it managed to expedite the release by two to three months, the early launch stands to benefit both Pixel users and other Android device manufacturers. Pixel users can anticipate new features sooner, and Android partners will have more time to adapt the AOSP release to their devices, potentially speeding up Android 16-based updates across the board.
It’s important to note that this leak remains unconfirmed, though it aligns with Google’s Q2 2025 timeframe. An official announcement from Google is still pending, but if accurate, an early June launch appears likely.
