Google must want to compare the version number of Android with that of IOS. Remember Pixel 8/9 users, Google said your phones will get up to 7 OS updates, not 7 years of OS updates.

        It increased battery life by 10-15%.

          Oh yes. Add two useless features and increase the serial number. All part of planned obsolescence. I think Android 7 and Android 10 were the only updates that deserved increased serial no.

            What's the major difference between Android 12/13 and 14/15? In the last couple of years they had not added any new features to the OS and only doing minor visual changes just to increase the version number.

              google is the one who make 2 years old phone become obsolete faster

                Of course. Since they start to promise longer support, the updates needs to be released faster.

                    Google, i dare you to release Pixel 10 series during summer months.
                    Those ovens would start a lot of wild fires.

                      Android 15 is not even out, and they're already rushing for Android 16. If that's the case, they should've renamed Android 15 to Android 14.5.

                          This is a good move. People washes out pixel at first launch, because of unstable new android version. My 8 pro was straight up bad at first, I was thinking to sell this and get a galaxy but right after two months, they fixed everything (kinda)

                            Not a big deal at all. But interesting.

                              Google is becoming like apple, they just rebrand most of their features and u notice a real upgrade only years later...
