For the first time since Google introduced the Pixel, the company’s phones weren’t announced with the Android version of the same year. On this occasion, the Pixel 9 were presented in August, while Android 15 was still in the testing phase, so these phones were launched with Android 14 both in Europe and in the rest of the markets.
