Android 14 OS was announced at the I/O 2023 conference back in May. However, the OS has yet to officially make its way to Pixel phones. Recent rumours suggested that Android 14 will debut alongside the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. Now, the same appears to be confirmed, at least sort of via the Canadian Carrier Telus.

Android 14 release date apparently confirmed

The Canadian carrier Telus has listed the update will seemingly roll out on October 4th, which is the same day as the Pixel 8 lineup’s unveiling.
Interestingly, the Pixel 4a is also present in the eligible models list to receive the Android U update when it goes out.
Android U is short for Android Upside Down Cake, which is the internal codename for Android 14 OS.
The Telus listing appears to be taken down now as Google might have asked the carrier to take it down following various online reports.
Since Google hasn’t made any official announcement on the matter, we suggest you take this news with a pinch of salt and wait for more details to be revealed in the next 48 hours.

Android 14 features

Magic Compose: Android 14 brings a new Magic Compose feature that uses AI to air users compose and add more personality to conversations. This will also suggest replies based on the context of the messages and magically change the style of composing.
