Even Oneplus 6 open beta is going to be over in a matter of time and soon will be updated to stable Android Pie and we are already hearing news about Android Pie beta for Samsung S9+. Is Nokia planning to update Sirocco directly to Android Pie without beta labs? If no then it will be quite late. Nokia 7 Plus is still on beta and so many phones for Nokia to update to Android Pie. I wonder how much time will it take the Android Pie update to trickle its way down to low end devices from Nokia seeing the condition of the Flagship. Maybe I am being too skeptical. I hope Nokia increases its pace this time. And they are doing tremendous job with the fast security patches. Given that other companies releases and forgets their low end phones and even mid rangers , Nokia is doing great.
Lol! Already released on the Oneplus 6 as of now. Oh Come on! Android One ...

The Sirocco seems to be like the forgotten son of HMD/Nokia. This is my first Nokia Android phone and definitely the last one! So much for the AndroidOne Program heh?
Huawei confirmed is working on Android Q for Mate 20 Lite and other Huawei Phones!
Probably arrive sometime in 2021 unless you're in Asia of course where it'll be out in a few months after Google release it.
This will probably take some time. Also, add more time because of network companies.... ?
My wife's Mate 20 Lite (global ver.) hasn't received an 9.0 update yet but Huawei announce Q :laugh:
Huawei are great at talking.

Probably not, unless they're allowed to work with Google again. They have to work hard to get it released before that 90 day limit. But they did confirm the update, so I hope we'll get it eventually.
It's still bery early to say if the Mate 20 Lite will get the Android Q... despite what Huawei "says" today...
Android Q is still in development, so... there is a big gap between "say" that will support and really deliver the update... But again, is a unfinished version of Android, so...
Android Q was officially released today for pixel phones, so does anyone have a guess as to when it will reach this device? Also, is there anywhere online I could find a detailed look at all the changes in the new OS?
It's not Android Q, it's Android 10. And that question is impossible to answer. 3rd-parties to Google don't start rolling-out these updates for at least a few months after initial release unless you're part of a beta/tester program.
Android Q(Globally named) aka Android 10 with One UI 2.0 in case of Samsung .... probably max to December or in worst case at the beginning of 2020... Most probably, as on previous updates(major ones), November this year...
My bet - February 2020.
Based on Note 8 and Pie release dates.
So 5 months to wait.
It's even less than half a year [emoji14]
Looking at the latest reports from Samsung we won't be getting an official version, but I assume people will port from something similar or build from source all being well?
I think Android 10 can release for note 8 , samsung was change the updates policy ,but the bad think is it only change after note 8 release , so may or not get 3 updates... s9 and note 9 Will receive 3 os updates
Is their any official news abt note 8 getting A10?

No have any official News if will receive or not, but samsung only updates 2 major os , samsung change updates policy to 3 major os updates but after note 8 release..
The thing I've noticed about Samsung though is that even though the next version of Android is released, the new flagship seem to ALWAYS be released with the prior version of Android ( note 10 with pie, this should have been released with Android 10). This means about a month, 2 or 3 months on they Officially upgrade it and thus have fulfilled their commitment of one major upgrade. About a year later out comes the next major upgrade and that model has now been dropped from the upgrade program. Seems a bit of a con to me, now they do the 3 major upgrades this might actually mean support for the full 2 year life expectancy of our phones...
Hope not! Note 8 its prety stable with Pie 9.0! Realy hope Samsung do not update Note 8!

Lets just hope that Samsung won't suddenly push an OTA that would slowly kill the device / make this device a brick, I owned the Note Edge Exynos variant (The OTA for Android 6.0.1 and their security updates slowly killed the device). Hope this doesn't happen to Note8, I am using Android 9 OneUI 1.0 (February Security update :silly

If that's the case then Android 10 would definitely possible for the Note8 via Custom ROMs and stuff, but then again Note8 is newer than the S8 (why would they even think of doing that). I still kind of get it, cause I believe S10 kind of got the Beta for Android 10 before Note10.
Isn't there a way/possibility to port the lastest Android 10 & One UI 2.0 based Note 10+ Rom for our Note8?
my friends nokia 8 sirocco just received another buggy android 10 update, and he wants to move back to the latest stable android 9 so that his phone will actually work properly until nokia releases a working update.
normally i would be able to do this with some reading, but after some reading the forum seems a little bare for the 8 sirocco. this has left me not knowing where to start with this device.
can anyone offer any advice for sources, software and such to help with this situation?
