Not sure if your phone will get Android 10? You’ve come to the right place.
Android 10 is upon us, and whether you’re excited about its new permission settings for apps or the glorious dark mode, there are plenty of reasons to be eager for it to arrive on your phone.
However, as with all Android updates, there’s a difference between when Google launches the final build and when the new software actually arrives on your smartphone. Today, we’ll be taking a look at all of the major Android phone makers and breakdown when exactly you can expect an Android 10 update for your device.
- Google Pixel
- Samsung
- LG
- Huawei
- Motorola
- Nokia
- OnePlus
- Odds & Ends
Google Pixel
Let’s start with Google’s own phones, the Pixel series. Android 10 has been guaranteed for every existing Pixel device, with the full list being as follows:
- Pixel 3a / Pixel 3a XL
- Pixel 3 / Pixel 3 XL
- Pixel 2 / Pixel 2 XL
- Pixel / Pixel XL
As of September 3, 2019, Android 10 started rolling out for all of these handsets, making them the first batch of phones to be treated to 10’s goodness.
Samsung
Samsung is the big player in the Android world, as well as the biggest player in the entire smartphone world. The needle moves a fair bit when Samsung updates a phone.
So far, Samsung has issued its Android 10 update to the following devices:
- Galaxy S10, S10+, and S10e
- Galaxy S9 and S9+
- Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+
- Galaxy Note 9
- Galaxy A70/A70s
- Galaxy A50
- Galaxy A20/A20s (not in the U.S. yet)
- Galaxy A10 (not in the U.S. yet)
Android 10 has been making its way to A20 and A10 in other parts of the world, so while the update hasn’t landed in the U.S. for them quite yet, we’d expect it to very soon.
