Android 10, which is the official name for Android Q, is now live and has started rolling out to Google’s own smartphones. Yes, there’s no dessert name going forward, but you’re free to call it Android 10 Queen Cake. This major update brings a number of new features in tow, giving your device a revamp with a new dark mode and better privacy features.
1. OnePlus
The latest flagships from OnePlus, the OnePlus 7/7 Pro, both received the first Android 10-based Oxygen OS open beta build mere minutes after the update started rolling out to Google Pixel phones. The company has also prepped the OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T for the upcoming update, so an Open Beta build with Android 10 should be coming soon.
- OnePlus 7
- OnePlus 7 Pro
- OnePlus 6/6T
- OnePlus 5/5T
2. Nokia
Though Nokia has the biggest portfolio of Android One phones in the market, the phone maker has already revealed when most of its smartphones (17, to be exact) will receive the Android 10 update. Here’s a list of Nokia phones eligible for update and when they’ll receive it:
Xiaomi has steadily been improving its update rollout cycle and well, the company has surprised everyone by rolling out the Android 10-based MIUI update to its first flagship smartphone, the Redmi K20 Pro in China and India. Users have started receiving the stable beta builds for Android 10. Check out the details on how to get this update on your device right here.
4. Realme
5. Samsung
Samsung has released no word on when we can expect to receive the Android 10 update on the plethora of Galaxy smartphones in its portfolio. But, if we go by the company’s oh-so-lackluster track record with updates in the past, the Galaxy S10 and Note 10 flagship lineups will be the first to be updated to Android 10 – but by the end of this year.
6. Asus
7. Huawei/Honor
Huawei has officially unveiled EMUI 10 based on Android 10 earlier last month, but it will be interesting to see how the company pits its software update at the upcoming Mate 30 series launch – especially after Google won’t allow it to pre-load its apps and services.
8. Motorola
No, we’re not forgetting everyone’s favorite smartphone maker Pocophone and its first device, the Poco F1, which offers flagship-like features at almost half the price as your next-favorite flagship killer. Poco F1 was quick in receiving the Android 9 Pie update in 2018, with the open public beta kicking-off in December.
We’ll do at least P and Q

Finally, let’s talk about some other popular phone makers such as Oppo, Vivo, Sony, LG and more who have a patchy track record in pushing out the latest updates. Oppo/ Vivo won’t be rolling out Android 10 to all of its smartphones, but its flagship and well-known mid-rangers will bag the update sooner or later (expected Q2 2020).
