Android 16 Set for Q2 2025 Release as Google Announces More Frequent SDK Updates
Google announced that Android will have more frequent SDK releases, with the next major release, Android 16, scheduled for Q2 2025. This change is intended to align better with device launch schedules across the ecosystem, allowing more devices to get the major release of Android earlier. Google will also introduce minor SDK releases starting in Q4 2025, which will include feature updates, optimizations, and bug fixes but won't include any app-impacting behavior changes.
