Android 16 is coming early, and we may already know exactly when

[phillynews215]

• Google already announced Android 16 will arrive in Q2 2025, and now sources have zeroed-in on a specific date.
• Android 16 could land in just under seven months, on July 3.
• Google would supposedly release AOSP sources and Pixel updates at the same time.

Google’s Android development schedule has been gaining momentum, and just last week, the company confirmed plans to release Android 16 ahead of nearly everyone’s expectations, due for sometime in Q2 of 2025. While that would put it quite a bit earlier from the Q3 releases we’re used to, it also left room for a fair amount of ambiguity — were we talking something as soon as April, or would be settling into summer by the time in landed in June? Google still isn’t saying, but a new report attempts to put a date on its plans.

Android 16 could arrive on June 3, according to sources known to Android Headlines. If you’ll remember, this year we saw Google release Android 15 to the AOSP on September 3, followed by availability of updates for Pixel phones over a month later, on October 15.
