The stable version of Android 16 has just been launched and at the moment there are very few devices that can be updated. However, we all know how the technological market moves and the community is already talking about the following iteration: Android 17.
Yes, there are still several months to see a revealing preview of this version, but some details that we could qualify as “expected” are already known. So it is necessary to speak Android 17, when it comes out and everything we know so far To the next great Android update.
Android 17 will bring security, privacy and usability improvements, although other things too
Even if it is still very soon for sure They remained in the inkmaker of the previous versions of Android 16 And they did not launch themselves next to their stable version.
This tends to mean that its development had advanced, but not as much as Google would like to launch it immediately. So, it’s time to launch it later and the ideal phase would be in a new version of Android, although some features They could arrive as part of some quarterly updates. Having that of course, let’s go with what we expect from Android 17:
- Improvements in safety, privacy and usability: Even if we all love innovation, The improvements in these sections are the only ones we can take for granted Right now for Android 17. Why? Because for different versions there are and Google has left the innovative functions for quarterly updates for some time.
- Material 3 expressive: View in one of the Beta of Android 16, the new and large Google interface has not reached the stable version. It is said that it will be launched in the fourth quarter of 2025 for the pixel, then He will reach cell phones from other brands next to Android 17 (If you decide to use it).
- Intruder detector: Another feature that remained in the Android 16 beta and we were able to see on Android 17. With the detector It is possible to obtain detailed, private and encrypting everything encryption What the activity of the system and the networks must do to which the mobile phone is connected.
- Flexible screen (improved multitasking): a functionality hidden in the Android 16 dp2 code that It allows you to divide the screen within three different sections To manage the apps at the same time. It is similar to Open Canvas de Oxygenos and is in a fairly early development phase.
There are also other features that we know that they are in development and have not reached Android 16, and even some come from Android 15. However, we believe they could be launched through quarterly updates and not with Android 17. We are talking about the improvements of health and privacy sandbox, as well as native compatibility with the aeronautics and cooling of notifications.
When will Android 17 be launched and how will it be called?
Although Google has used us for years that the new versions of Android arrive between August and November, with Android 16 this has changed.
The company has it that all large cell phones launched in autumn are available with the latest version of Android available, so the new directive will be this: Start the new versions of Android in Q2 of each year and a “minor version” during the Q4.
Therefore, hope Android 17 Stabile falls throughout the second quarter of 2026 (between May and July). And if the development times become equal to those of Android 16, then Android 17 DP1 should be published in November 2025.
Y And the name? How will Android 17 be called? The truth is that His name will be only ‘Android 17’Since Google does not use desserts for different versions as part of Android’s commercial name. However, internally they are still used.
Android 16 was a name with the letter “W” but for some reason the alphabetical order was skipped and called “Baklava”. If the new order is that, then Android 17 would have an internal name with ‘C’. There is still no one assigned, but it comes to mind It could be “cheesecake” or “chocolate bar”. Do you have an additional idea? Leave it in the comments to discuss it.
