Google has delayed the release of the stable version of Android 14

Contrary to expectations, the release of the stable version of Android 14 was delayed. But what was the reason for this sudden decision of Google?

If you have followed the technology news from Gadget News, you probably know that many Android phone users are not very optimistic about when the next version of Android will be released. It seems that the concern of Android fans about the delay of the release of the stable version of Android 14 was justified, because Google has postponed its release to early October. Although last year, Android 13 was released in the middle of August, but this year, the release of the new version will be delayed by a few weeks. Now, according to reports, the final version of Android 14 will be released on October 4, at the same time as the Google Pixel 8 series.

Michel Rahman, one of the reliable sources in the field of Android news, recently revealed that Google decided to delay the release of Android 14 at the last minute.

What is the reason for the delay in releasing the stable version of Android 14?

The decision to delay the release of the new version of Android was made at the last minute, because even the manufacturers of Android devices were not informed. Developers have now been told that the vulnerabilities will be announced in the Android 14 security notes that will be released on October 4. This is also not the first time that the stable version of Android has been delayed at the same time as the launch of a new Pixel device.

It should be noted that Google has never officially set a specific date for the release of Android 14, so this delay has raised doubts. Many expected a September 5 release, but the rumor was never confirmed, potentially disrupting the plans of other smartphone manufacturers.

October 4 coincides with the Pixel 8 launch event, and only Google devices will receive Android 14 on that day, while other brands will have to follow their own timelines.

This delay may pose challenges for brands like OnePlus, which previously announced September 25 as the launch date for OxygenOS 14. If Android 14 becomes available in October, OnePlus may struggle to fulfill its initial schedule.

However, this delay is not necessarily bad news. This shows that Google thoroughly reviews Android 14 before releasing it to provide users with a stable and bug-free experience. In the end, this decision can make the process of moving to the new version of the operating system easier for Android enthusiasts.
