This is mainly a consequence of Google moving the release cycle back a quarter. If they continued to target Q3 for yearly/major SDK releases, then Samsung would have released One UI 7 much more "on time". Either way when One UI 7 launches in January, it will be outdated just like all OEM AOSP derivatives. The current supported stable Android release is Android 15 QPR1. One UI 7 uses September's release of Android 15. The initial release of Android 15 and its corresponding release branch in the AOSP repository was terminated in November. There are no more monthly releases of Initial Android 15. They've (Samsung and non Pixel OEMs) took an old Android release and applied backports to make it appear new. If they used semantic versioning for each new monthly and quarterly release of a given version (e.g 15.1 for Android 15 QPR1, 15.1.1 for the January monthly release of Android 15 QPR1) that would expose how bad the update situation is.
Looking ahead, it wouldn't be shocking if the Android 15 QPR2 Beta 2 and Android 16 Developer Preview 2 underlying source is identical right now if we stripped away the feature launch flag release configuration that enables which changes and functionality is enabled by default.
That’s the problem with android and google, pixels get the updates first but they have weak SOC’s meanwhile phones like the redmagic 10 pro have the best specs available for only $650 but will only get 1 os update

I was happy until i realised this is what we have to look forward to for summer’s next year. I was happy because i was thinking this would come out in a month or two and that the development of Android has been prioritised by Google. I don’t use android so I wasn’t aware of its release cycles and timing.
Since when are the clock and icons at the top vertically aligned to the hole punch on the Pixel 9 Pro?? In Android 15 they are a lot higher placed?! Or is this the 9 Pro XL?
i have the pixel 7 and it is updated. but still i am facing some issues.like sometimes can't pick any phone calls and some baking apps are not openning. and few more
I hope they add the ability to quickly uninstall apps just by tapping and holding on an app icon and pressing a delete button. I don't want to have to use another launcher to do that.
After android 10 it all went to drown Android 11 not bad it had ram management and performance issues After android 12 it's just copy paste now all 13,14,14 have overheating issues performance issues ram management issues in every phone i tried Tried running same phone on Android 10 it runs so much better smoother battery life is million times better performance is far better than any Android versions
Is this for real? Most feature google is adding was already been there on Samsung now-a-days. Customisation on google is very limited compared to Samsung. Every Update is mostly just a layout change, next time considering switching to Samsung.

It started out really good, but kind of went to shit after they tweaked it again and again. Also most developers don't give a sh*t about the material guidelines.... Including Google on a lot of their apps...
@@strix3055 True.. Not even Google Apps follow the Material Guidelines. Now 2 Android releases per year makes it even harder for devs to follow them and they eventually will back out on most of them.

You don't need large amounts of RAM to benefit from 16kb pages. It reduces the size of page tables, and has improved TLB hit rate.
