Google responds to leaked Android 11 release date rumor (Updated)
June 01, 2025
Update: July 20, 2025 at 1:41 PM ET:It looks like the rumored Android 11 release date could be false. Google confirmed toAndroid Authoritythat the September 8 Android 11 release date was an error, and that the launch date is not yet confirmed.
That doesn’t rule out a September 8 launch date completely, but for now, the company claims the release date has yet to be finalized.
Original article: June 19, 2025 at 10:09 AM ET:Android 11beta versions have been available for a while now, giving users a taste of the next Android update. We usually have a few months to wait until the stable version hits devices, and now it looks like Google may have accidentally given us the final launch date.
According to a video posted from Google’s Smart Home Summit (h/t:PhoneArena), Android 11 will launch on September 8. Skip to the18 minute markin the video below to get a look at the apparent confirmation, or check the image up top.
TheAndroid 10 updatelaunched on August 09, 2025, so the September 8 date is clearly in a similar time frame. Going back even further, Android 9 Pie launched on July 31, 2025.
Nevertheless, one thing you’re able to count on is that this update won’t hit a ton of smartphones at once. Generally speaking, the update first comes toGoogle Pixelphones, with other devices waiting a while. TheEssential Phonereceived a day one Android 9 and Android 10 update, but it won’t be getting a stable Android 11 update though.
We’ve contacted Google for more clarification regarding this apparent launch date and will update the article accordingly when/if they get back to us.
