Android 15 is among us, and it was not released on Pixel phones, surprisingly. After the stable AOSP release not being accompanied by a Pixel OTA update, Chinese brand Vivo leapfrogged the entire Android ecosystem to be the first to launch a stable Android 15 update. If you are not a proud owner of the pioneer (and niche) Vivo X Fold 3 Pro, check if your phone is scheduled to get Android 15.
Even before Google announced Android 15 reached “platform stability”, it was possible to test the development versions on selected phones. Brands such as Honor, Nothing, OnePlus, Oppo, Xiaomi, and others announced their own official test programs, indicating which phones should get the update first.
Note: With Google’s update for the Pixel phones expected to launch only in October, this list is based on the official policies of the different manufacturers.
As the flagship series for the Android operating system, the Pixel phones will be the first to receive the update. And since the Pixel 9 phones launched before the Android 15 release in 2024, the list of Google phones eligible for the next Android release is bigger this time.
Samsung
Samsung has been delivering on its promise of better supporting its phones, after many (truly many) years of lackluster updates. The South Korean company currently offers a clear software policy for its phones, allowing its customers to know how long their phones will be kept updated against security threats.
However, Samsung announced at SDC 2024 that the One UI 7 based on Android 15 will only be released to the public in early 2025. But for developers and testers, the Koreans added that One UI 7 beta will be available for public users to test by the end of 2024.

Xiaomi
With the Chinese giant currently migrating from MIUI to HyperOS, we hope to see Xiaomi further improve its update policy to match (or better) Samsung’s, but only time will tell.
For now, we can count on the company’s official list of security updates to know which phones are promised the Android 15 upgrade. Additionally, we marked in italics Xiaomi models that are promised the Android 15 update but are not part of the Android Enterprise program.

OnePlus
OnePlus managed to match Samsung’s software update policy in the flagship space, and not only that, managed to silence its critics by launching truly interesting phones in 2023 such as the OnePlus Open. We are pretty certain of which OnePlus flagships will receive Android 15, but the same cannot be said about the mid-range Nord models.

Sony
With a small phone lineup, Sony has been pretty consistent when it comes to Android updates, even if the Japanese company has not really committed to an official update policy. These are the Xperia phones expected to receive the Android 15 update:

Asus
The Taiwanese company’s Android commitment was briefly questioned in 2023, with rumors about a possible end of the Zenfone line quickly denied by Asus. Its small flagship lineup and short update policy—traditionally only two Android upgrades—makes for a very short list of Zenfone and ROG Phones receiving the Android 15 update:

Motorola
Why Motorola has announced the full list of its devices that will be updated to Android 15, an outlet has managed to comb from the company’s website the possible candidates. This includes several Moto G mid-range models and the recent Motorola foldable smartphones.

Other brands
In addition to the models above, these brands are also taking part in the Android 15 public beta test:
Honor
Vivo
Vivo managed to beat not only Samsung but also Google at its own game. The Chinese brand released the stable Android 15 update before other brands to its Vivo X Fold 3 Pro smartphone, with its FuntouchOS 15 release. The next phones should be the ones that were in the beta program:
- iQOO 12
- Vivo X100 (Pro)
