Android 10 phones: List of smartphones getting Android 10 / Q update

Earlier this year, Google introduced the 17th version of the Android mobile operating system, which was internally called Android Q. The new OS is officially called Android 10 as Google has deserted desserts (pun intended) for Android version names. Along with making the beta version available for Pixel phones, for the first time ever, the search giant opened the beta iteration for the devices of 16 smartphone manufacturers, including Xiaomi, Sony, OnePlus and Realme. The Android 10 OS is expected to roll out within this quarter.
So if you are wondering if your phone will get the Android 10 update, then you are at the right spot. We have compiled the list of smartphones that are officially confirmed to enjoy the taste of the forthcoming Android Q. In case your phone isn’t on the list, then make sure to send us your comments in the box below, and bookmark this page, as we’ll continue to update it.

When will Android 10 released?
Android Pie went live on 6 August 2018 - that's when it was named and when the roll-out started. Since that timeframe for a 2019 launch has already passed, we're unsure exactly when Google plans to roll out Android 10. But in its 22 August rebrand announcement, it mentioned the release would happen in the "coming weeks".

That will allow the Android 10 to go live before the launch of Google's new hardware, the Pixel 4. Other manufacturers will then have to prepare Android Q for their own devices, which can take some time.

While confirmation of Android 10 updates and dates are yet to appear, we're starting to see some confirmations from manufacturers. Bear in mind that until the software is officially released, dates won't be available.

If your phone is included in the Android 10 beta, then you can give it a go now, but be warned that this isn't final release software.

Android Q: what's new
We're getting a better idea of the new Android 10 features to come thanks to the beta of Google's mobile operating system. Additional features and bug fixes have come with all the beta releases up through the sixth and final beta that came out in early August.

Some of the changes are confirmed, while others remain rumors. Here's what you can expected ahead of the official Android 10 release date in August.



· New Android 10 privacy features
· The Android Developer Blog post announcing the developer beta confirmed a heavy emphasis on boosting privacy in Android 10, a focus that was reaffirmed in the Google IO 2019 keynote.

· Users will have more control over app access to location info, shared files and repositories like Photos and Videos. Another helpful change: instead of apps automatically switching focus when they have an Activity in the background (like an alarm or call), appmakers can opt to send high-priority notifications first.

· Android 10 beta 3 also introduced a new feature – Scoped Storage – which allows users to control how apps access external storage (say, in a MicroSD card). It will also better protect users from being identified by restricting access to non-resettable device identifiers, like your phone's serial number and/or IMEI, and randomizing its MAC address when connected to different Wi-Fi networks.

· These might be some of the most onerous changes for developers in Android 10, which is why, as the Android Developers Blog post reads: "We are bringing these changes to you early, so you can have as much time as possible to prepare."

BUBBLES!

Similar to Facebook Messenger's Chat Heads, Bubbles will display small circular, floating alerts on top of whatever it is you're currently doing on your Android device. Users will have to approve each app that wants to use Bubbles as a notification method, so your screen shouldn't be overrun with alerts from every app you have installed.

SHARING SHORTCUTS
I think every Android user can relate to how slow the share sheet loads. Right now, you tap on the share button, and then have to count to ten while the various apps and shortcuts populate and rearrange themselves a handful of times. With Android 10, Google has created new tools that make it possible for the share sheet to load instantly.

DARK THEME
At I/O, Google confirmed an official Dark Theme is coming with Android 10. The new theme will darken the interface, reducing strain on your eyes as well as saving battery life.

LIVE CAPTION
For deaf users, Google is adding a Live Caption feature that will add subtitles to any video being watched on the phone. You won't need a data connection to use the feature -- it's all done on the device itself.

PARENTAL CONTROLS
Google's Digital Wellbeing tool is gaining support for tighter parental controls. Parents will be able to approve app installs, set screen time limits, create app limits, and set a bedtime.

FOLDABLE SCREEN SUPPORT
With devices like the Galaxy Fold and Huawei X coming, Android 10 includes features to better support for detecting when an app has been paused (perhaps when a display is folded) and when it needs to be resumed (after opening the device), as well as enhanced support for resizing of apps.

DEPTH INFORMATION FROM PHOTOS
Google's Pixel line of phones does a fantastic job of capturing depth in a photo despite only having one camera. Google is integrating some of that technology into Android 10, giving developers and device makers access to the image and the Dynamic Depth captured alongside it through new tools.

GESTURE NAVIGATION
Android 10 adds gestural navigation to the Android platform. Instead of using the staple navigation buttons Android has always had, users swipe and gesture across the screen to go back, return to the home screen, open the app drawer, and trigger Google Assistant. In the final beta release, Google continued to tweak and change how gestures behave in Android 10 -- and then tried to explain its reasoning.

MORE DEVELOPER OPTIONS
If terms like Native MIDI API, ANGLE on Vulkan, or Neural Networks API 1.2 are more your thing, then be sure to read through the bottom section of this Android Developers blog post, where the company details those new features, along with new Wi-Fi performance modes, improved peer-to-peer and internet connectivity.

Live Caption, and more
One of several accessibility features announced at Google IO 2019, Live Caption does what it says on the tin – captioning video and audio in real-time. The feature doesn't require an internet connection, transcribing text from the device's own speech recognition and NLP.

On the Google IO 2019 stage, we saw Live Caption used in combination with Live Transcribe to input incoming audio to text, then have a user text a response which was spoken. In the demonstration, the combo – called Live Relay – allows a texting user to interact on a phone call without ever speaking a word.

The last accessibility feature coming to Android 10 is Project Euphonia, which aims to improve Android's verbal recognition to better process words spoken by users with speech impediments.


Android 10: What happened to Q?
· The letter Q was up next

· Google usually names Android OS updates around a dessert

· Google changed its approach to Android naming

We had plenty of guesses and ideas concerning what the Q in Android Q could stand for, but Google opted to ditch the dessert naming scheme altogether and move to a numbering scheme. Android Q is now Android 10, and going forward, we can expect numbers over sweets.

Why Phones "Explode" Sometimes,and What you can do to Protect Yourself

Every now and again we hear unfortunate stories about gadget batteries catching fire and even exploding (a term that is often used even for incidents that are less dramatic), sometimes causing harm to the unsuspecting user. While very rare, Samsung has been forced to recall its latest Galaxy Note 7 smartphones after concerns were raised that a small number of its handsets are shipping with defective batteries that may explode. Once again, dangerous lithium-ion batteries are back in the spotlight, but what actually causes a battery to go haywire?

Causing explosions

Lithium-ion batteries seldom bulge or explode, but when they do, there are two leading causes. The first is a puncture, which might be caused by dropping your phone. A break in the thin compacted battery material between cells can produce to an internal short circuit, leading to swelling and potential explosions. Alternatively, cheaper batteries can sometimes accidentally feature rare microscopic metal particles inside that might come into contact with other parts of the battery cell, also leading to a short circuit.With the Galaxy Note 7, Samsung and various reports suggest that the issue is caused when the device is charging, which leads us to our second major cause – heat. Excessive heat can again cause again internal short circuit within the battery, by breaking down the internal cells. However, this only usually occurs at very high temperatures, unless the battery is faulty. Overcharging may also be an issue, which is caused by batteries receiving more current than they can safely handle, causing them to overheat.

Too much heat in one area of the battery can lead to “thermal runaway”.  This happens when an area of a battery can’t cool down quickly enough, resulting in a breakdown chain reaction that generates more and more heat. In other words, excess heat causes a reaction that accelerates the temperature increase. Eventually, this can lead to a fire or explosion.

Typically, high-quality batteries will include safety features that can usually prevent this dangerous reaction from taking place. However, Samsung has stated that it has purchased battery packs from multiple providers, and perhaps some of these are more prone to failure than others.

Charging and heat

There are a number of potential causes of excessive heat in and around the battery in a modern smartphone. The move towards fast charging technologies is now forcing additional current into lithium-ion batteries, and with every power transfer there is always some heat generation. The more power, the higher the potential heat. While some of this heat-loss will occur at the battery itself, some heat will also be lost in the fast charging power conversion and power management circuitry, which is usually located next to the battery. This could certainly cause more heat at one end of the battery than the other.

The processors inside today’s smartphones are also producing more heat than the handsets from 3 or 4 generations ago. While not usually nestled next to a battery, this could further add to the temperate inside a modern smartphone, making it more difficult for heat to transfer away from the battery area.

We should be clear though that Samsung has indicated that it is the batteries that are at fault in the Galaxy Note 7 and not any other part of the handset. It seems unlikely that the Galaxy Note 7 has be built in such a way that it is producing too much heat that makes it unsafe to stick a battery inside. Instead, it’s more likely that just a small percentage of the batteries that Samsung has purchased are not coping properly with the heat produced or current provided while charging. Either by not matching up to the required charging specifications or by simply coming from a faulty batch.

Protecting yourself

Without knowing exactly what is causing issues with Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7, we can’t say precisely how to avoid potential problems. However, there are some general tips to follow that can help protect yourself and your device from catastrophe. General warning signs that your battery is damaged and could explode include a hissing sound, popping, or swelling.

• 1. Stop charging your phone it if becomes too hot. Allow your phone to cool down before charging it again and make sure that you don’t cover your phone to let heat escape properly.
• 
  
• 2. Stick to first-party chargers. Use the charger included in the box to make sure that your phone is receiving the optimal voltage and current. If you’re using a phone with a USB Type-C port or Quick Charge, it might be wise to stick with the cable that came in the box too.
• 
  
• 3. Don’t charge your phone in bed. I know it’s very tempting to watch a video or read before you fall asleep, but you don’t want to roll over on your phone and have it overheat. Not to mention that leaving your phone under a pillow while it charges will cause it to heat up.
• 
  
• 4. Be mindful of where you charge your phone. Avoid charging for long periods of time in really hot places, such leaving your phone on a car dashboard, next to a radiator, or in direct sunlight on hot days.

If you do happen to notice your battery swelling, unplug your phone and remove the battery, but only if the battery is user removable. Don’t attempt to dispose of the battery or device in the trash. Always get rid of your batteries at authorised disposal facilities or some electronics retailers, such as Best Buy, that offer battery recycling services.

If your battery and/or device is damaged as a result of a swollen or exploded battery, take your device to the retailer that you purchased it from or get in contact with the manufacturer. A replacement battery or device will usually be issued, especially if you have a warranty.

Get Google Assistant on your Nougat device

When Google Allo first premiered, people were actually most impressed – not by the messaging platform’s features, which were lacking – but by the Google Assistant companion that accompanied it. It was the first glimpse we got of an entity that’s slated to reside not only in Allo, but also in Google Home and Pixel devices. But now it appears that any device running Nougat, even if they aren’t #MadeByGoogle, can house the search giant’s affable assistant.

Admittedly, it’ll take a little bit of tech knowhow to get Assistant up and running. This is obviously something of a workaround and not a built in feature. However, the folks over at XDA have come up with a quick and easy way to enable Assistant on your device just as if you owned a Pixel. The only prerequisites are that you have a device running Android Nougat and have the Google app 6.5.35.21 or newer.

Honestly, if you’re already running Nougat and have interest enough in this topic to read the article, then you’re probably savvy enough to get Assistant operational on your device. For the full rundown on how to do it, head over to the XDA forums right over here.

Google Assistant is important because it represents a major stride toward making our interaction with technology more intrinsically conversational. While the likes of OK Google, Siri, and Amazon’s Alexa have paved this trail, Google Assistant takes the journey much further by increasing the AI’s personality and search capabilities.

What are your thoughts regarding Google Assistant? Is this, as Google seems to be indicating, the future of the search bar, or nothing more than a passing trend? Let us know your take in the comments below!

What is Android?

What is Android?

Android isn’t a phone, or an application, but is an operating system based on the Linux kernel. No clue what that is? In its most simplistic definition, Linux is an operating system most commonly found on servers and desktop computers. Android isn’t just a version of Linux, due to the many changes found under the hood, but it is related.

So Android is an operating system designed with mobile in mind, the place where your phone’s functions and applications live. Everything you see on the display of your device is a part of the operating system. When you get a call, text message, or email, the OS processes that information and puts it in a readable format.

The Android OS is divided into various version numbers, implying significant jumps in features, operation, and stability, which usually have codenames So, if you hear someone say Android Kitkat, Lollipop, Marshmallow, Nougat or Oreo– that is just the name of the version of Android you might have on your device.

Most modern smartphones and tablets feature either Android 6.0 Marshmallow or Android 7.0 Nougat these days, with the latter platform particularly being common on newer flagship and mid-range offerings this year. On the extreme-budget end of the phone spectrum it is still possible to find Android 5.0 or older, but such devices are increasingly less common.

Most Android device manufacturers, such as Samsung, HTC, Motorola, Sony, and numerous others, usually have a skin on top of the OS. A skin, or UI overlay, is basically a custom design that adds extra features to your phone, different icons, and other tweaks designed to provide an experience unique to your chosen phone maker. The most popular skins include Samsung TouchWiz, HTC Sense, and LG UI. A phone without any major customizations is generally referred to as “stock Android”, and UIs with only minor changes (such as found with Motorola or Google Pixel phones) are often called near-stock.
