Android P Will Be Released On August 20 Says Evan Blass

And the official build could be released later this month, on August 20, according to journalist Evan Blass. Blass tweeted out a calendar for August with a P slapped on for August 20. August 20 is a Monday as you can see above, though Google typically releases Android OS updates on Wednesdays and security patch updates on Monday. The last two Android P beta updates also arrived on Wednesday, and the August 20 date coincides with the graphic shared by Google about the Android P update roadmap, which showed a Q3 release. Of course, with the final release Google will also unveil the name of the P version, which some rumours claim will be called Pistachio. Evleaks does use a green P for his teaser, but that’s also the signature Android colour, so there’s not much to go by when it comes to the name in this tweet.

Android P Beta 4 which was released late last month was already confirmed as the last preview milestone before the stable Android P update. “Today’s Beta 4 update includes a release candidate build with final system behaviors and the official Android P APIs (API level 28), available since Beta 2. It includes everything you need to wrap up your testing in time for the upcoming official Android P release”, Google had said at the time. It’s not too much of a stretch to imagine that Android P is ready for prime-time. Many in the Beebom office have been using P beta since it has been out and the experience has been become more and more stable with each beta update.
