We knew it could happen and it finally happened: the stable Android 15 update arrived for the first time not on a Google or even Samsung mobile, but on a Vivo. More specifically, for the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro, the latest high-end foldable mobile in the housewith a starting price of over 1,200 dollars at the exchange rate.
According to Ishan Agarwal in X, his Vivo X Fold 3 Pro has already received Android 15 stable updatethus being the first mobile phone – at least to our knowledge – to do so. Even in front of the Google Pixel, which was able to test Android 15 for months, yes, but in beta versions. The stable version will take another two weeks to arrive.

This is the first time that the new version of Android It was released earlier in a stable version by a brand other than Googlealthough this is not entirely strange, since manufacturers of other brands base their updates on Android 15 AOSP, which was already finalized at the beginning of the month, in addition to having worked on updates in parallel for months during the beta program.
In other years, mobile brands other than Google have released their stable update very soon, but The difference is that this year, Google fell behind, and quite. 41 days between Android 15 AOSP and “Google Pixel Android 15” are plenty and it is still possible that more brands and models will upgrade to the stable Pixel update.
Even if others have moved forwardhaving a recent Google Pixel still offers advantages against the competition. This year, some high-end Vivo phones may have been updated earlier, but the Google Pixels still have many exclusive features and their own features with timely news.
