On several occasions, we learned that Google was going to modify the previously pre-established roadmap for the arrival of the major version of Android as well as the deployment of its own mobile phones. If until now we knew that Android 16 would arrive before summer, between the months of April and June, the exact date is already known for the deployment of the major version of Android.
A date which is part of another novelty from Google with the plan to launch the Pixel 9a even much earlier than planned, in March. AND one of the reasons to change the roadmap
Now, a new rumor proposes the exact day of the Android 16 rollout, and it would be June 3. And unlike what happened with the arrival date of Android 15 on the Pixel, which was precisely October 15 only to be delayed by more than a month after the code appeared in the repository in September, the leak indicates that that day this would be for both deployments

In other words, not only will the Android 16 code be available in AOSP, but The update will be released on Google mobile phones so that they go on a joint deployment at the same time.
Another point to consider is the official reason from Google to shift the deployment date of Android 16 depending GSMArene: that more mobile phones can be launched with the new version. Those who will be mainly affected by this change are those from Google with the Pixel 10 which should be presented in August, and the next foldables from Samsung in July.

Another important aspect is that there will be more margin time so that the update arrives in its final version on many other phones presented for the first time in China, as is the case with the flagships of Xiaomi or OnePlus itself.
Just like Samsung will be able to “breathe” a littlesince this year it had to delay the arrival of the beta version of One UI 7 so that its custom layer based on Android 15 finally becomes official with the new Galaxy S25 which will be presented in the first half of 2025; probably during the first two months of the year.
