Early on, Google supplied us with the Android 13 schedule you see above. It was a significantly shorter timeline than what we saw for Android 12 in 2021. Google kept tightly to the schedule with each milestone met. In fact, this is one of the fastest Android releases in the past few years.

For the sake of comparison, Android 12’s stable launch happened on October 19, 2021, a full 65 days later than 2022. However, the transition from Android 11 to Android 12 was significant.
