Google devices shine in LineageOS 22.1 update

The latest LineageOS 22.1 update has arrived, and it’s nothing short of a Pixel party. With Android 15’s first quarterly platform release (QPR1) as its foundation, this release not only showcases the ingenuity of the LineageOS team but also redefines what’s possible for Google’s Pixel lineup — every single Pixel device from the original 2016 Pixel to the cutting-edge Pixel 9 series is supported out of the gate, including the Tablet and foldables. That’s right, if it’s a Pixel, it’s got LineageOS 22.1.

While LineageOS 22.1 is available for over 100 Android devices, Google Pixel phones are the stars of this show. Whether you’re still rocking the OG Pixel or you’ve already embraced the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, LineageOS 22.1 breathes new life into every model. Imagine the Material You aesthetic of Android 15 blending seamlessly across your devices, enhanced by two brand-new LineageOS apps: Twelve, a feature-packed music app that syncs perfectly with Android Auto, and Camelot, a minimalist PDF reader that’s here to save you from app clutter.

This update isn’t just about the newest models, though. It’s about inclusion. With LineageOS’ support extending across the Pixel generations, users can enjoy top-notch software even on devices long past their official update cycles.

Let’s not forget another game-changing addition to the roster: the Chromecast with Google TV (4K). This versatile device, already a household favorite for streaming, now transforms into a powerful Android 15 hub with all the flexibility and customizability that LineageOS is famous for.

LineageOS 22.1’s release is a testament to the project’s ambition and reach. In less than a year, the team has managed to officially bring Android 15 to an astonishing total of over 100 devices. This includes 128 carryovers from the previous branch, four new Pixel devices released this year, and even a few surprises like the Chromecast.

While Google devices definitely stole the show, LineageOS isn’t just about Google’s hardware. The update covers an incredible range of brands and models, giving over 100 devices a chance to shine. But the Pixel lineup’s full support is a standout achievement especially at a time when the company is enjoying record-breaking sales.

So, whether you’re an Android purist looking to extend the life of your Pixel XL or a curious tinkerer ready to unlock new potential in your Chromecast, LineageOS 22.1 is your ticket to the latest and greatest Android innovations.
