Google Pixel 9 series phones may be initially launching with Android 14 instead of Android 15

This is especially surprising given the imminent release of Android 15. While Google’s a-series phones often launch with the older Android version, this usually coincides with the new version’s beta launch.
Google has already rolled out the final scheduled beta for Android 15, suggesting the stable build is next. Although Google hasn’t confirmed the exact release date, based on past releases, it could be anytime between August 1 and the end of October. Considering that the devices are set to be announced in just two weeks, based on this timing it would mean that should the Pixel 9 series launch with Android 14, it would only stay on that version for a very short time.
