A new Android update to your phone brings improvements, bug fixes, and often new features along with security patches to protect your device from vulnerabilities. Android updates always bring great excitement, and Android 16 is no different. Just recently introduced ahead of Google I/O 2025, Android 16 brings a new design and features aplenty to improve the user experience.**
Android 16 introduces the Material 3 Expressive design language, which promises a brighter and more vibrant-looking interface. Expect updates to the home launcher, notifications, lock screen, and quick settings panel that offer a more unified and personalised look.
Google will roll out the stable Android 16 version in early June 2025, along with dozens of devices launching with the Pixel 10 series. Beta builds are already live for supported Pixel phones, and users can enjoy the new features early before the final release.
