Google makes a move that will excite Android users Android 16 had announced an earlier release timeline for . Now, new information has come to light about the exact release date.
According to the report, Android 16 will be officially released on June 3, 2025. This date marks much earlier than Android’s traditional Q3 or Q4 launches. This accelerated release schedule of Google aims to ensure that devices in the Android ecosystem are updated faster and more devices are released with Android 16. This step offers a strategic advantage, especially for the launch of the Pixel 10 series. Pixel 10 models, which are expected to be released in August 2025, are almost certain to come with Android 16 out of the box.
What to Expect?
The new Android version will not only be released on June 3 to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), but also compatible OTA (Over-the-Air) updates for Pixel devices are also planned to be available on the same day. This will allow other smartphone manufacturers to deliver Android 16-based updates to their users more quickly.
While this move by Google will offer Pixel users the opportunity to experience the innovations of the new version earlier, it will also enable other Android device manufacturers to undergo a rapid adaptation process. The main innovations that come with the new operating system include more advanced artificial intelligence integrations, advanced security features and a more fluid user experience.

Security researchers have discovered the first UEFI bootkit designed for Linux systems, dubbed Bootkitty by its creators. This discovery is the first evidence that UEFI boot kits are no longer limited to Windows systems.
Security researchers have discovered the first UEFI bootkit designed for Linux systems, dubbed Bootkitty by its creators. This discovery is the first evidence that UEFI boot kits are no longer limited to Windows systems.
An abbreviation for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface. UEFIis known as motherboard control software. UEFI is software that is activated when the computer starts, before the operating system starts.
If cybercriminals change the UEFI code, they can use it to deliver malware to the victim’s system. Bootkit It is defined as a type of malware designed to gain low-level control over the computer without the owner’s knowledge.
After a previously unknown application named bootkit.efi was uploaded to VirusTotal in November 2024, Security researchers discovered that it was a UEFI application.
After in-depth analysis, it confirmed that it is a UEFI boot kit called Bootkitty by its creators; surprisingly, it is the first UEFI boot kit to target Linux specifically several Ubuntu versions. The bootkit contains many artifacts that suggest this is more of a proof of concept than the work of a threat actor.
Bootkitty is signed with a self-signed certificate, so it cannot run on systems that have UEFI secure boot enabled by default. But since Bootkitty patches in memory the necessary functions responsible for integrity verification UEFI It is designed to seamlessly boot the Linux kernel whether secure boot is enabled or not.
Bootkit is an advanced rootkit that can replace the boot loader and patch the kernel before it is executed. Bootkitty gives the attacker full control over the affected machine as it hijacks the machine’s boot process and runs the malware before the operating system even starts.
During analysis he discovered a possibly related unsigned kernel module that he called BCDropper, with signs suggesting that it may have been developed by the same authors as Bootkitty. It distributes an ELF binary responsible for loading another kernel module, unknown at the time of analysis.
