Dark Mode: As opposed to the light there, Dark Mode is the opposite where the UI is painted dark. This helps relieve the battery from excess consumption while providing meditative to the eyes as well since it doesn’t put much strain on the eyes.
Smart Reply: Want to reply but don’t feel like typing? Smart Reply is at your service as the AI-attuned feature uses the context of the email or messages to provide appropriate one words or one-liner responses that you can single tap and send. This feature also prescribes actions at some time if there’s any video link in the message or location, etc.
Security Updates: Unlike any previous Android OS that would require security updates via OTA, Android 10 enabled smartphones will get their security updates faster and efficiently through Google Play Store where Google will push the updates directly onto the smartphones and not via OEMs or carriers. Google will also release bug fixes and patches on the way although users will have to depend on OTA updates for critical issues that will continue as well.
Privacy & Location Controls: Android 10 comes with stringent policies on privacy and locations. It provides options where the user wants apps to obtain its location or not or only when in use. Furthermore, Android 10 has a dedicated ‘Privacy’ tab within the Settings app that has options like permissions, personal data, and activities, etc.

Why my smartphone isn’t eligible for Android 10?
You need to understand that there are multiple factors that determine if your phone will be eligible for any updates such as Android 10in this case. Here’s a bit of an idea that you might help discern if your phone is eligible or not. First of all, Google develops a new OS (Android 10) and conducts beta tests before releasing it officially. Next up, it goes through the smartphone manufacturer which usually customizes it by adding, removing, replacing, altering the features and the UI in order to suit its own brand and then releases it further in a priority basis where the phone released this year are prioritized over those released last year. The maximum tenure a phone is covered for major Android updates is two years under Android One program.
Unless your phone is not listed as an Android One smartphone, it doesn’t guarantee any updates but there are many variables here. First up is that your phone’s processor must support it, the phone must meet the minimum resource requirements for each Android update which is only taking an upward trend now. OEMs that manufacturer phones with Android release multiple numbers of models in a year. In fact, some companies could go as far as launching more than 10 models in a year which means keeping all the devices updating involves a lot of time and effort from the OEM’s end as the update is generally altered according to the various configurations of the phones.
OEMs generally exclude a bunch of phones releases during the said period which means they succumb to get further major upgrades while many of the phones might get boosted from Android Nougat to Oreo or Oreo to Pie in this timeframe but won’t get Android 10. These are just some of the reasons why your phone might not be eligible for Android 10 if it is discounted in any of these criteria.
What can I do if my phone is not supported with Android updates?
My advice would be to stick on the same OS and the same phone if you purchased it recently rather than upgrading the device every year. If you want to buy a new phone, make sure it has upper mid-range and flagship specs or it must be under Android One program that guarantees further updates.
On the other hand, if you still want something new on your existing phone, try custom ROMs like LineageOS, Havoc OS, Paranoid Android, and others. Note that you will have to check if these custom ROM makers support your phone or not. Keep in mind that this could be a slightly complicated installation process to take a reference from GetDroidTips on how to install it on your phone or let us know if there’s now guide available and we will update it.
