All Phones Getting the New Android 15 Update

With the official announcement by Google about Android 15 and our earlier coverage of the key features of the new Android version, users are increasingly interested in when the update will arrive on their phones. Despite the noticeable improvement in the speed of updates recently, Android still suffers from relative slowness in this regard. Therefore, it is important to know which devices will receive the Android 15 upgrade. Interestingly, most manufacturers are hesitant to provide accurate information about eligible phones for the update and the release schedules. As a result, we rely on a combination of available official data, past company update release records, and leaked information, if any. We will try to cover the complete list of phones eligible to receive the Android 15 update, but this list may see future modifications, either by adding new phones that were not expected to be upgraded, or excluding some phones from the update plans for some reason by the manufacturers.

Phones Eligible for the Android 15 Update

Google Pixel Phones that Have Received the Android 15 Update

Since Google develops the Android system itself and uses the stock version of it on its phones, it is no surprise that Google Pixel is one of the first phones to experience the new Android 15 version. As usual, the update was sent to Google phones supported as soon as the system was released. These phones are:

Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL
Pixel 9 Pro Fold
Pixel 8, 8 Pro
Pixel 8a
Pixel 7, 7 Pro
Pixel 7a
Pixel 6, 6 Pro
Pixel 6a
Pixel Fold
Pixel Tablet

Interestingly, Google has modified its policy to support its phones for the longest possible period with major Android updates, starting from three years and extending up to 7 years for Google Pixel 8 phones, meaning users will receive Android updates until 2030. While such a support duration is quite normal compared to the long support duration for iPhone phones, it is uncommon in the world of Android.

Samsung Phones Likely to Receive the Android 15 Update

Despite being the largest Android phone manufacturer in the world, Samsung has a poor reputation when it comes to releasing major Android updates for its phones, or at least that was the case in the past. It usually delays in providing updates and rarely offers any information, and its mid-range and low-end phones may sometimes not receive any updates. But due to the fierce competition Samsung faces with other manufacturers, the company has recently revised its policy rigorously. With the launch of the Galaxy S24 lineup, the company promised seven years of updates for these phones and other upcoming devices from the flagship category, while phones from other categories will receive updates for a long period, up to 4 years.

In general, updates are expected to arrive faster than usual for a large number of phones this year. There are many phones expected to receive the stable version of One UI 7 by the beginning of 2025, as announced by the company at the SDC24 developers conference. You can access the full list by referring to our previous topic: Samsung phones eligible to receive the Android 15 update (One UI 7).

Xiaomi Phones Likely to Receive the Android 15 Update

Xiaomi has already released preview versions of Android 15 for its flagship device Xiaomi 14, along with Xiaomi 13T Pro and its tablet Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro (12.4-inch version only). However, the company has not yet announced the list of devices (in addition to those mentioned) that will receive the Android 15 updates, but we can speculate based on previous claims about the number of updates. For simplification, we will focus on phones available globally only, not limited to specific regional sales. These phones include the Xiaomi brand itself, as well as its sub-brands like Redmi and Poco, and they include:

Xiaomi 14, 14 Ultra
Xiaomi 13, 13 Pro, 13 Ultra, 13 Lite
Xiaomi 13T, 13T Pro
Xiaomi 12, 12 Pro
Xiaomi 12T, 12T Pro

Poco M6, M6 Pro

As Xiaomi continues to expand globally benefiting from its low prices and the decline of its local competitor Huawei, it is focusing heavily on updates recently. While the company is not the fastest or most comprehensive in sending updates, it is far from being the worst and is actually one of the best at the moment considering its offering of cost-effective devices.

Xiaomi Phones Likely to Receive the Android 15 Update

It cannot be denied that Motorola is in a continuous state of decline with its successive attempts to make a comeback falling short.

Nokia Phones Likely to Receive the Android 15 Update

Since Nokia re-entered the smartphone market, it has offered a variety of products. While some of the company’s phones have been remarkably successful, especially in the lower-end categories, the company has failed to regain its former status as one of the leading companies. Nevertheless, one thing that the company has not disappointed in is software updates, as it uses a near-stock system, enabling it to send updates faster than others. It is expected that the following phones will get the Android 15 update soon:

Nokia XR21
Nokia X30
Nokia G60 5G
Nokia G42

OnePlus Phones Likely to Receive the Android 15 Update

OnePlus offers four major Android updates for models released in 2023 and beyond, making them eligible for the new Android 15 version. However, OnePlus 8-Series and OnePlus 9-Series phones are only eligible for three major updates, so Android 14 last year was the latest major update those devices received. In general, the list of OnePlus phones likely to receive the OxygenOS 15 update includes the following models:

OnePlus 12
OnePlus 12R
OnePlus Open
OnePlus 11
OnePlus 11R
OnePlus 10 Pro
OnePlus 10T
OnePlus Nord 4
OnePlus Nord 3

Oppo Phones Likely to Receive the Android 15 Update

As Oppo mainly focuses on the Chinese market and has not gained significant global presence, it is known that the company’s phones rarely receive any updates of any kind after their release. Even high-end phones rarely have any guarantee of receiving an update. However, this has changed significantly recently, as Oppo phones now receive up to four years of major Android updates alongside five years of security updates. This covers a wide range of phones belonging to the Chinese brand across the Reno, Find series, including:

+Oppo Reno10 Pro
Oppo Reno10 Pro
Oppo Reno10
+Oppo Reno9 Pro
Oppo Reno9 Pro
Oppo Reno9
Oppo Reno8 T 5G

Realme Phones Likely to Receive the Android 15 Update

Similar to the parent company of both OnePlus and Realme (Oppo), there is a relatively moderate update policy that ensures a group of Realme phones receive the latest major Android version. Based on the company’s previous promises, here is the list of Realme phones expected to receive the Android 15 update, limiting the list to devices widely available globally:

Realme GT 6, GT 6T
Realme GT 2, GT 2 Pro
Realme 13 series
Realme 12 series
Realme C67, C65, C63, C61

Honor Phones Likely to Receive the Android 15 Update

While Honor devices (a subsidiary of Huawei) will feature a completely updated Android MagicOS, closest to being an Android version of the iOS operating system for iPhones, the company ensures two major updates to Android and an additional two years of security updates. This puts a number of devices in the race to adopt the Android 15 system as part of a future MagicOS update, including the following:

Honor 200 and 200 Pro
Honor 90
Honor Magic V2
Honor Magic Vs
Honor Magic V Flip
Honor Magic 6 Pro
Honor Magic 5, Pro, Ultimate

Unfortunately, there is no official statement or announced roadmap from Infinix, and the update schedule does not look promising. However, it is expected that Infinix will upgrade only the latest two generations of its phones to the Android 15 version or XOS 15 UI interface. Based on our speculation on the previous software update policy, the expected list includes:

Infinix Zero 40
Infinix Zero 40 4G
Infinix Note 40
Infinix Note 40 5G
Infinix Note 40X 5G
Infinix Note 40 Pro
Infinix Note 40 Pro 4G
+Infinix Note 40 Pro
Infinix GT 20 Pro

As mentioned, the above lists are subject to future revisions, and additional phones and models may be included, or conversely, manufacturers may decide to cancel upgrade plans for some of the listed phones for various reasons. Therefore, we recommend staying updated with official announcements for the latest information.
