Android 16 Developer Preview Debuts with Exciting Features and Early Access

Google has released the first developer preview of Android 16, which surprisingly supports the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, despite these models not being guaranteed updates beyond Android 15. This early support suggests a possibility that these phones might receive the full Android 16 release, although it is not yet confirmed. The Pixel 6 series, released in 2021, was promised OS updates through 2024, with security updates extending two more years. The inclusion in the developer preview is a positive sign for users hoping for continued support.
