Google has officially released Android 14, and the first devices to run the software were its own.

From February 2024 the first developers are likely to be able to test the Developer Preview. And in April 2024, the first beta is expected to start, with all interested parties with a compatible smartphone able to try it out.
This was the timetable for Android 14. It will probably be similar for Android 15:
