Google’s ‘Android’, at present, has a monopoly over all manufacturers’ devices (except iPhone) in terms of the Operating System. Excluding Apple, nearly all other devices have Android in them, except just a few, like Huawei. Android has got a total of 13 generations so far, and the 14th one is also on the way because Google has recently confirmed it by launching its Developer Preview. So, let’s take a look at its complete rollout timeline.

Informatively, the search engine giant has recently made available the Developer Preview of the upcoming version (14th) of Android. However, the Developer Preview can be experienced in Google Pixel devices only and not on other manufacturers’ devices currently. Therefore, users of other devices must be wondering when their phones will get this. Notably, other phones may receive Android 14 in the form of a Beta directly.
