Android 14 is expected to arrive for all supported Pixel devices on October 4, as revealed by the carrier list. October 4th is also the date when the new Pixel 8 series devices will be announced, and Google might be planning to release the latest version of Android on the same day.

As spotted by 9to5Google, Canadian carrier Telus has given Android U, which is Android 14 for all compatible Pixel devices, a release date of around October 4th.

However, there is currently no word from Google on when we can expect the latest version of Android for the Pixels. “All dates are approximate and subject to change,” Telus notes. It added: “Please note that the published dates indicate when the update is expected to be released, but it may take a few weeks for it to be released to all devices.” So yes, while an October 4th release date should be taken with a grain of salt, the fact that it’s a significant event for Google, and given that the company has pursued the same strategy in the past, wouldn’t be out of the question. blue to launch Android 14 on the same day.

The Android 14 update is compatible with the following Google Pixel devices: Pixel 4a 5G, Pixel 5, Pixel 5a, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7a, and Pixel Fold.

The update is expected to bring iterative changes to Android 13, such as better privacy and security, which includes the ability to install legacy apps that target Android 5.1 and above. Other aesthetic updates include a more customizable Lock screen and even functional updates like the original Braille display mode and a new reading mode for the visually impaired.

Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro ship with Android 14

As expected, the new generation of Pixel 8 devices will ship with Android 14. Another significant change for Google this time around could be a rumored 7 years of software support, 4 major OS updates and 3 more years of security fixes. But we can’t say for sure until Google confirms this leak at its official event tomorrow.
