Android 15: Which Phones Are Expected to Get the Update?
Read in other languages:
Android 15 is among us, and it was not released on Pixel phones, surprisingly. After the stable AOSP release not being accompanied by a Pixel OTA update, Chinese brand Vivo leapfrogged the entire Android ecosystem to be the first to launch a stable Android 15 update. If you are not a proud owner of the pioneer (and niche) Vivo X Fold 3 Pro, check if your phone is scheduled to get Android 15.
Even before Google announced Android 15 reached "platform stability", it was possible to test the development versions on selected phones. Brands such as Honor, Nothing, OnePlus, Oppo, Xiaomi, and others announced their own official test programs, indicating which phones should get the update first.
Note: With Google's update for the Pixel phones expected to launch only in October, this list is based on the official policies of the different manufacturers.
- Android 14: These are the phones that should be updated
- Android 13: These phones are expected to be updated
- How many Android updates does each company promise?
As the flagship series for the Android operating system, the Pixel phones will be the first to receive the update. And since the Pixel 9 phones launched before the Android 15 release in 2024, the list of Google phones eligible for the next Android release is bigger this time.
- Google Pixel 6
- Google Pixel 6 Pro
- Google Pixel 6a
- Google Pixel 7
- Google Pixel 7 Pro
- Google Pixel 7a
- Google Pixel 8
- Google Pixel 8 Pro

- Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold
- Google Pixel 9 Pro XL

Samsung has been delivering on its promise of better supporting its phones, after many (truly many) years of lackluster updates.

We are pretty certain of which OnePlus flagships will receive Android 15, but the same cannot be said about the mid-range Nord models.

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:
- Asus ROG Phone 7
- Asus ROG Phone 7 Ultimate
- Asus ROG Phone 8
- Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro
- Asus Zenfone 10
- Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra
Other brands
In addition to the models above, these brands are also taking part in the Android 15 public beta test:

- Nothing Phone (2a)
- Nothing's instructions for the test program
- Additionally, the CMF Phone 1 is eligible to get the stable Android 15 update.
Honor
Vivo
Vivo managed to beat not only Samsung but also Google at its own game. The Chinese brand released the stable Android 15 update before other brands to its Vivo X Fold 3 Pro smartphone, with its FuntouchOS 15 release. The next phones should be the ones that were in the beta program:
- iQOO 12
- Vivo X100
- Vivo's instructions for the Funtouch OS/Android 15 public beta test
Other brands and devices
- Lenovo Tab Extreme (instructions)
