Android 17 beta 1 is coming soon as it starts rolling out the final Android 16 QPR3 Beta 2.1 patch.

Unlike early developer previews, this build is based on Android 16 QPR3, meaning better baseline stability and fewer major bugs. Expect framework refinements, early API stabilization, UI polish, and deeper system-level changes under the hood.

📅 Expected: Mid-Late February

Android 17 Codename - "Cinnamon Bun"

Key points:
• Built on Android 16 QPR3 foundation
• Pixel devices first via Android Beta Program
• Focus on performance, stability, and platform changes
• Rolling back may require a full device wipe

For developers, this is the phase where app compatibility testing begins seriously, especially around permissions, background limits, and battery behavior.

#POCO_Launcher
Updated HyperOS 3
What's new :

Stacked recents menu available

Note: you have to enable it through brevent or adb

Use This Command in Brevent: settings put global task_stack_view_layout_style 2

The memory shortage is expected to continue for several year

High demand for HBM and limited supply of LPDDR RAM are keeping the market under pressure, and the situation may not fully improve until around 2030.

This could increase dependence on cloud-based AI services and may affect smartphone prices

Even older phones, which usually get cheaper after launch, are seeing stable or higher price

Apple users continue to repeat that “Android companies lack Vision”

Let’s see

Periscope Telephoto: Android
OLED Displays: Android
Faster charging: Android
Wireless Charging: Android
More efficient phone displays: Android
Vapor Chamber: Android
Bigger Camera sensors: Android
Bigger batteries: Android
More ram/storage on base models: Android
Glass front/back with aluminum frame: Android
USB C on mobile: Android

Meanwhile Apple

FaceID, which was not adapted widely and companies instead favor Ultrasonic Fingerprints
Dynamic Island, little gimmick on some Android phones, not adapted widely

Sad to see Apple lack so much Vision, and what they do doesn’t even get a wide adoption.

Release schedule for Android 17 in 2026.

Apple has delayed the long-awaited Siri revamp that was supposed to come in iOS 26.4.

The new Siri features are now planned for iOS 26.5 at the earliest, with some potentially coming in iOS 27.

"Apple's long-planned upgrade to Siri has run into snags during testing in recent weeks, potentially pushing back the release of several highly anticipated functions.
After planning to include the new capabilities in iOS 26.4, Apple is now working to spread them out over future versions.

That would mean possibly postponing at least some features until at least iOS 26.5, due in May, and iOS 27, which comes out in September.
