Android 16 is launching months earlier than usual. Google says it's coming in Q2 of 2025, when usually major releases happen in Q3 or Q4.

    Let me guess, they changed the wallpaper.

    Can we stop having a Android release for 5 minutes?

      Don’t worry, it’s probably going to be even more locked down.

      I miss Android 7 and prior. The only improvement I see is permission management and UI on tablets (dp >= 600). And perhaps app updates without prompting user from 3rd party app stores (like F-Droid), but I don’t like automatic updates anyway.
