One of the biggest disappointments of the Pixel 9 series was that it launched without Android 15. Launching a new Pixel with the latest version of Android has been a long-standing tradition, but it seemed as though Android 15 just wasn’t ready for prime time.

There are heaps of great options on the market, but when it comes to the best overall Android smartphones, the OnePlus 12 and the Google Pixel 9 Pro are the first devices that spring to mind. So which is the better buy?

An Android Headlines report claims Google will roll out the stable Android 15 build for compatible Pixel devices on October 15. While the company usually releases new updates on Monday, it will seemingly roll out Android 15 for Pixels on Tuesday, as October 14 is a holiday in the US (Columbus Day).
