Google delays the release of Android 14 to October

The new Android operating system was scheduled to be officially launched on September 5

The launch of Android 14, scheduled for this Tuesday, September 5, was delayed until next October, a date that coincides with the presentation of its new smartphone, Pixel 8, as well as its new smartwatch, Pixel Watch 2.

Google has been working for months on the new version of its operating system (OS), Android 14, of which it has already presented several betas, the last of which is number five and which was presented as its third version of the stable platform.

With its launch last August, Google qualified that this update consisted of everything necessary to test the functions of Android 14, so its official deployment for devices with this operating system was expected this month.

However, analyst Mishaal Rahman recently announced that the release of the Android 14 source code has been delayed until next month, despite the fact that some original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) expected its arrival on Tuesday, September 5.

“OEMs are now being informed that the vulnerabilities detailed in the Android 14 Security Release Notes will be released on October 4, 2023, so that may be the release date,” said this expert.

In this way, Rahman suggested that Google will launch the new version of its operating system on the same day that it presents its new Pixel 8 smartphone, as well as the second generation of the Pixel Watch.

It should be noted that this would have been an unexpected change for mobile manufacturers with this OS, since the analyst recalled that a few days ago, OnePlus announced that it would update its terminals to Android 14 on September 25.
