Just yesterday, we were talking about how Google is going straight to Android 17 Beta 1 without going down the Developer Preview route like it usually does, and how the first beta could have dropped yesterday. However, the Alphabet-owned giant seems to have cancelled those plans.<\/p>\n

Although the Android 17 Beta 1 was scheduled to arrive at 10 AM PT, the company decided to pull the plug on the beta release. In a statement sent to Android Police, Google says that \u201clast-minute changes\u201d have led to the delay.<\/p>\n

\t\tGoogle<\/span><\/p>\n

Android 17 Beta 1 is now \u201ccoming soon\u201d<\/h2>\n

\u201cAndroid Beta 1 will actually be coming soon, not today,\u201d says Google.<\/p>\n

Although the nature of the last-minute changes isn\u2019t immediately clear, they could have been significant enough to prompt the company to postpone the launch after all the hype.<\/p>\n

A February 11 launch was still slightly later than expected, as the company unveiled the first Android 16 beta on January 23 last year.<\/p>\n

However, despite the delay, Google still has about a month and a half to release Android 17 Beta 1 (and align it with the promised Q1 2026 release timeline).<\/p>\n

Stability target still set for March<\/h2>\n

As per the official schedule, Google aims to achieve platform stability (for the Android 17 pre-release build) sometime around March 2026, and the final build could go live in the second quarter of the year, in or around June 2026.<\/p>\n

In the past, we\u2019ve seen Samsung\u2019s new foldables debut with the latest Android operating system, and I see no reason why that won\u2019t happen this year.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Flip 8 are expected to break cover in July 2026, and there\u2019s a very good chance Samsung will announce One UI 9.0, based on Android 17, at the launch event.<\/p>\n

For now, we\u2019re expecting Android 17 to be released in the coming weeks, but no later than that.<\/p>\n
