Now and then, you get companies that do an oopsie and leak info they shouldn't. Whether it's deliberate or not, these leaks are reliable since they're official. Google has already done this with Android 11 earlier this year when it revealed the Android 11 Developer Preview. Now, the company may have accidentally leaked Android 11's official launch date.

According to BGR, a slide that's supposed to be accessible only by Google Developers has revealed the launch date for Android 11 to be 8 September 2020. In the slide, Google announced that it was going to launch everywhere, which probably means that it's going to be available globally. Of course, we expect only certain devices to get access to it so soon. The Xiaomi Mi 10 series and OnePlus 8 series also have access to Android 11 Beta, so those may get the official release early as well.

In case you were unaware, Android 11 is set to come with several interesting features. For example, there's the Bubbles feature that functions like Facebook's floating chat head. The recycle bin folder and Nearby Sharing are two more features we feel would be very useful. There will also be new Emojis, so you can better express yourself in chat.

With the release date for Android 11 confirmed, we expect non-Pixel Android smartphones to start getting the latest OS as early as September. But with that said, which Android 11 feature do you like best? Let us know on our Facebook page and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more news.
