Google launched the final stable version of its tenth-generation Android 10 on September 3rd. The latest in the making, Android 10 has a string of features and matches the optimum level of sophistication when compared to all its predecessors such as Android Pie or Oreo or Nougat, etc. Earlier, the upcoming OS was to be named as Android Q, however, Google has declared “Android 10” as the official moniker as it is universally understandable and thus, will name the successors with similar numbering system.

List of Android Q Supported LG Devices

Android 10 packs in a boatload of features ranging from Live Captions, Smart Replies, more AI-based functionalities, refined Google Assistant, revamped user interface and navigational gestures, and more. The upcoming firmware will support various accessibility functionalities while strengthening the system with a revamped permission-based model for apps and granting of access to various services and resources. Here are a few features that you must know.

Android 10 Features:

Sound Amplifier: The feature adds boost, reduces background noise and delivers a premium noise-canceling feature on headphones paired up with your Android 10 enabled smartphone. it also reduces unwanted noises, grants a revamped UI to tweak into speaker and microphone settings for better user experience and more.

Privacy Controls: The new OS has a revamped privacy control mechanism. The user can willfully grant access to any services to an app or he/she can allow it when the app is in use or deny it. Android 10 makes it easy to track web and app activities. It has an opt-out of ads retargeting option which is something a must-have on Android smartphones.

Gesture Navigation: One of the most contentious features is Gesture Navigation which replaces the usual navigation system on Android 10 with a direct iPhone-like approach although it is optional. It uses a slim bar on the bottom that users can drag to check without apps, view recent apps or go to the home screen while both left and right edges are programmed to go back although it depends on a few factors and thus, might differ from apps to apps.

Smart Reply: Already available with Android Pie, the Smart Reply uses AI to understand the context of the messages or emails received and prescribe a few templates as possible answers to send right away. With Android 10 in place, the Smart Reply will also prescribe actions such as a button to redirect to Google Maps if there’s any location shared with you via any support messaging apps and so on.

Dark Theme: Understandably one of the most awaited features is the Dark theme. It inverts the UI to black that allows lesser battery consumption while improving usage and relieves the excess stress excessive illumination that displays put on eyes. The feature is just one click away from activating on the go and has been seamlessly integrated with a plethora of apps on Android 10.

Why my smartphone isn’t eligible for Android 10?

The process in simplest form is like this, first Google releases Android 10 code to all the OEMs & custom ROM developers. This is further taken by OEMs to alter it according to their own custom skin such as Huawei has its own EMUI, Xiaomi has MIUI, OnePlus has OxygenOS, Samsung has OneUI and so on. This process takes time and since it has to be developed for all the smartphones that will get Android 10 and since they all have different specifications and other factors, it takes time and effort to prepare for the same.

Google supports any smartphone for a maximum of two years which doesn’t mean your phone is eligible for Android 10 if it was launched last year or even this year. To elaborate it, Android 10 has certain minimum prerequisites in terms of storage, RAM, processor and other variables which should be met in order to support the OS on your phone. Furthermore, Android smartphone makers simply lift support to many phones since it is not practical for them to support older smartphones with new updates which are in contrary to what Apple does with iPhones which are supported for more than four years.

Since Android smartphones can fall in any and every category and price point, it is not practical to update all the phones and thus, the majority of the phones will not receive Android 10 for sure. Even if we have a glance at phones that will get Android 10, the priority will be given to phones released this year starting with flagship or upper mid-range devices and then the update will be rolled out for different models individually. Even if your phone supports Android 10, it doesn’t mean you will get the update right away. In fact, many smartphones have to wait for a year to get the last year’s upgrade. There are just too many moving parts involved in this process which renders many of the devices not-eligible for Android 10.

What can I do if my phone is not supported with Android updates?

Do you know what? You can wait for the official list of Android 10 supported LG devices to be released shortly. Or you can decipher if your device could or couldn’t get the update based on the above-mentioned list as well as what renders a phone ineligible for Android 10 or any other major Android updates for say.

There are a number of things you can do here. Either check out for software updates for a few weeks or maybe months or force an update to your smartphone which might or might not need root access which I don’t recommend. Furthermore, you can install custom ROMs lie Resurrection Remix OS, Havoc OS, Pixel Experience, or LineageOS or others that are based on Android OS although these are customized further and support a wider range of phones than the stock Android. The last thing you can do is to upgrade to a newer phone which is easier for those using a phone leased from a telecom carrier since you can always upgrade or you buyback from your own smartphone manufacturer or turn to any e-commerce site for exchange.
