We’re close to the release of Android 15 as the development is almost final, and Google is wrapping it up by making final adjustments. Unlike the last two iterations, this one is going to be an exciting upgrade, packed with plenty of new features and enhancements (more on that later).
Google is expected to drop the stable version of Android 15 in the coming weeks. Those who haven’t participated in the beta program are eagerly waiting to test out the new features and changes. But, like every year, millions of Android devices won’t get the latest Android OS because of limited software support.
Here, I have curated a list of Android devices from major brands that won’t get the Android 15 update. Review the list to determine if you’ll need to upgrade to a newer model to enjoy the latest features and optimizations.

So far, only Google has confirmed which devices will receive Android 15 and which won’t. Other brands haven’t yet made it official. So, we had to analyze the software update policy and past rollouts for the remaining brands to prepare the list above.
If your device isn’t on the above list, you’re good to go. However, if you’ve spotted your device there, plan your next upgrade to continue receiving the latest Android updates.

When Will Android 15 Start Rolling Out?
Android 15 has already entered the platform stability phase. It’s the final phase of development, where Google fixes known bugs and other problems and adds a final touch to the new OS to prepare it for a stable release.
Although we don’t have an official release date yet, the timeline is similar to last year’s Android 14. Hence, we’re expecting Google to drop the stable build of Android 15 around the same time as last year, which means early October.
Here’s a quick look at the significant milestones for Android 15:
- Android 15 DP1 — February 16, 2024
- Android 15 DP2 — March 21, 2024
- Android 15 Beta 1 — April 11, 2024
- Android 15 Beta 1.1 — April 22, 2024
- Android 15 Beta 1.2 — April 25, 2024
- Android 15 Beta 2 — May 15, 2024
- Android 15 Beta 2.1 — May 20, 2024
- Android 15 Beta 2.2 — June 3, 2024
- Android 15 Beta 3 — June 18, 2024
- Android 15 Beta 3.1 — July 1, 2024
- Android 15 Beta 4 — July 18, 2024
- Android 15 Beta 4.1 — July 29, 2024
Notably, Google has scheduled its Made by Google event on August 13, where the tech giant will unveil Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold, among other products. These upcoming Pixels are expected to come with Android 15 out of the box. This means that Google might release the new OS at this event.
As soon as the stable build arrives, it will roll out to Google Pixels, and then other brands should follow quickly after making necessary changes to their custom skins. For non-Pixels, you can expect the update to hit the flagship devices first and then to the remaining models.
