One of the biggest disappointments of the Pixel 9 series was that it launched without Android 15. Launching a new Pixel with the latest version of Android has been a long-standing tradition, but it seemed as though Android 15 just wasn’t ready for prime time.

This new wallet-friendly phone from Infinix offers as much bang for the buck as the Pixel 8a does, and even beats it in some areas.

Samsung’s Galaxy S series is its most popular, and its latest handsets will likely be the first ones to get the Android 15 update. The S24 series comes with seven years of software updates, while older models are only promised four OS updates.

There are heaps of great options on the market, but when it comes to the best overall Android smartphones, the OnePlus 12 and the Google Pixel 9 Pro are the first devices that spring to mind. So which is the better buy?

According to a Samsung moderator, the company still has no set release date for the anticipated One UI 7 beta update based on Android 15.
