  • Link says it: “On June 10th, Google released Android 16 to AOSP - but without Pixel device-specific source code.”

    And

    “Why Android 16 is different

    Android 16 was released to AOSP yesterday but with a one big difference than typical releases:

    Google did not publish any device-specific source code for supported, modern Pixel devices. In previous years, Google released full device trees alongside new Android versions. This allowed developers to build and boot AOSP on Pixel hardware relatively easily. With Android 16, only the platform/framework code has been released. The device trees are missing, at least for now. This means AOSP 16 cannot currently be built or run on any recent Pixel device easily just using official source.”
