Nevertheless, this will be the first Pixel launch which syncs up with the release of the Android Open Source Project code. What happens with other manufacturers who are planning to launch their own operating systems based around Android 14 ( such as OnePlus’ OxygenOS 14, which was announced last week as arriving on September 25th) remains to be seen. The delay to the final release is not entirely unexpected Google released an unscheduled fifth beta to Android 14 in the middle of August, suggesting that more work and more testing was required. Mishaal Rahman reports that the delay is down to security vulnerabilities in the latest Android Security Release Notes will be published on October 4th… which many are taking as the new launch date of Android 14, and is also the day before Google’s launch event for the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. The expectation was that the release version of Android 14 would have been published on September 5th through the Android Open Source Project page, at which point the software would have cascaded through the ecosystem, be it small hobbyist projects right up to multinational manufacturers. This makes it all the more interesting that Google has decided to delay the release of the source code of Android 14. With the two handsets expected to be some of the first to ship with Android 14, many of the apps and services will have been built around the Android 14 codebase. Many of the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro improvements will be found in the software.
