As per Evan Blass, Google might launch the very first Android P Preview by mid of this month which means we can expect two Android P Preview updated before the announcement at Google I/O.Google releases Android OS Preview updates just before the announcement every year so that the developers can fix the bugs and also helps App developer to make their apps compatible with the latest Android update.
Google will always reveal the name of the Android OS update only during the stable launch which will take place in the month of August.With carrier getting chance to hide network signal in next iteration of Android and some new software addition to make the OS faster and better when compared to the predecessor. We are still not sure about the new features of the next version of Android with Android 9.0 or Android P.We have to wait for the first Android P preview OS update to hit devices soon by a week or two.
