Final Words
Android 14 Release Date
With the stable release of Android 13, Google has already started working on Android 14. According to an early leak brought to light by XDA Developers, the Android 14 has been codenamed “Upside Down Cake.” For those unaware, Google tends to name each version of Android by a dessert name. The name was previously public until Android 10 when it became just an internal codename. Regardless, it’s good to see Google keeping up with the trend.
As for the release date, there is no official information regarding that. However, we can speculate the release date based on past events. Android 14 might be released at Google I/O 2023, which will be held in May 2023. Regardless, the Developer Preview will be live in February 2023. This is so as to let developers adapt their apps to the new Android OS.
Furthermore, we can expect the Developer Preview 2 next month, i.e., in March 2023. The public beta should then start rolling out in April 2023 and continue until July 2023. We can expect to see four beta releases during this period. And finally, the stable build will be released in August 2023.
