Android 10 for Pixel devices
Android 10 started rolling out from 3 September to all Pixel phones. Go to Settings > System > System Update to check for the update.
Android 10 for other Android devices
Asus hasn’t always been in the best position with Android updates - it can be a little haphazard. However it did have a phone on the Android 10 beta, so we know there’s an update incoming for at least one device.
BlackBerry Mobile
BlackBerry has been slow to update phones, even if it does manage to stay on top of security updates. The BlackBerry Key2 was confirmed to be getting Android 10 on its update path, but no official timeframe has been announced yet.
The Essential Phone has alreadypushed out the Android 10 updateto open market customers.
HTC has only just started delivering Android Pie, and with the company virtually giving up on phones, we don’t want to get your hopes up about Android 10.
Huawei is in an interesting position. Having become the darling of Android smartphones over the past couple of years, increasing tensions between the US and China has seen business get moredifficult for Huawei. The update on all these devices is expected to be part of the EMUI 10 update. Huawei hadoriginally said on Weibothat it would be pushing the update soon after the Pixel, withreportsthat the update started in Europe on 15 November, but Huawei thenconfirmed the global timelineon 25 June 2025. Our P30 Pro in the UK has been updated.
The following devices are confirmed to be getting the EMUI 10 and Android 10 update “in later months”. That statement was made in January 2020.
Honor has come forward to reassure customers saying that it will continue to offer warranties and updates to its phones. It has gone as far asconfirmingthat some will get Android 10. You might get Android 10, but you won’t necessarily get Google services on all devices.
LG isn’t the biggest force in Android phones, but the flagship LG G8 was on the 10 beta, so is likely to see an update in a reasonable timeframe. LG has said that it wants to speed up updates and it is launching anAndroid 10 beta programme including a new LG OS. That announcement says that it will come to a number of models - although the timeframe for the final OTA update hasn’t been confirmed.
There’s the loose suggestion from LG that updates will be within the year, but it’s not clear if that’s within 2019, or within a full year.
Motorola has fairly raw Android phones with little customisation, but that doesn’t always result in rapid updates. However, it has a couple of Android One devices andhas promised updatesin some other areas. For the Moto Razr, the update adds arange of new functionality.
Nokia’s record with updates is good. The company usesAndroid Oneon most of its devices and successfully updated most of its devices to Android Pie before anyone else. We’d expect the same for Android 10.
Nokia has also confirmed that many of its phones will receive the Android 10 update, and when they’re due to land. Depending on which model you have, you could see the rollout hit your phone anytime from Q4 2019 through to Q2 2020. The Nokia 8.1 roll-out officially started on 19 June 2025, but the company has revised the timetable because of coronavirus.
OnePlus is good with updates. Not only does it move quickly to update its newer devices, but we see this rolling back to older phones too. It also has a wide range of devices in the Android 10 beta. These phones are confirmed by OnePlus to get Android 10:
Oppo is rather more new to global markets so we’ve not been through the Android update process as we have with other manufacturers. Oppo has put the standard Reno in the 10 beta, however, so we know it will get the final version. Oppo has also published and updated Android 10 roadmaps for the update. The update will arrive with ColorOS 7.
Razer has said that it is interested in pushing out an update, but there’s no timeline on if or when it might happen.
Realme is the budget brand of Oppo and although it’s just getting started in its global march, it’s also on the Android 10 beta, so there’s some hope for a rapid update.
It looks like some Redmi flagship devices will be updated to Android 10following a tweetsuggesting that these devices will see some Android 10 action:
XDA Developers has also spotted thatXiaomi is now updating the Redmi K20 Pro in India and China.
Samsung doesn’t feel the need to update rapidly and in the past has been slow - but with Android 10 it appears to be moving a little faster. There’s been a beta for One UI 2 with Android 10 and the stable versionhas started rolling outto some devices in some regions. A longer list wasshared from the Samsung Members app, giving a breakdown for the UK.
Sony Xperia
Sony’s record on updates isn’t great, but it does have the Xperia XZ3 in the Q beta. That’s good news, because the 2018 phone is likely to be able to move to the final build soon after it goes live. Originally a list wasshared by Japanese network NTT Docomo, but there’s now been anofficial blog postfrom Sony confirming models and a timeframe.
Vivo has a couple of phones on the beta list for Android 10, so that’s confirmation of a couple of devices that will definitely get the update.
Xiaomi is also pretty new to global markets, but it seems to be taking Android 10 pretty seriously, with two devices involved in the beta, meaning they will get the update. We’d also except the Android One phones to get it too. Elsewhere, a timelineshared on Twittersuggests a range of Xiaomi devices. Pocophone hasalso been confirmed.
