Hey iQOO fans!

Here's some exciting news for all the Android enthusiasts in our community.

Google may be planning to release Android 16 in Q2 of 2025 – much earlier than usual. Historically, major Android releases have always dropped in August, September, or October. But now, Google looks set to shake things up with an earlier release window.

Here's a brief look at Android's release history:

Android 15 "Vanilla Ice Cream": September 3, 2024

Android 14 "Upside Down Cake": October 4, 2023

Android 13 "Tiramisu": August 15, 2022

However, with Android 16, Google seems to be speeding things up. The next Android version could arrive between April and June 2025, possibly due to improvements in their development processes.

Google has also moved Android to a trunk-based development model this year, which enables them to push out updates faster. This could be one of the reasons we're seeing a potential early launch.

What to expect:

While nothing is set in stone yet, references to "25Q2" in internal documents suggest a Q2 launch.

The new version is rumored to bring even more robust changes to the platform, with faster API implementations and new features.

Could we see Android 16 during Google I/O next year? We’ll have to wait and see!

Mark your calendars for Q2 2025, and stay tuned for more updates on the Android 16 launch. What are your thoughts? Let’s discuss below!
