Here’s all we’ve heard about Android Q, the next version of Google’s mobile OS.
Google’s Android Q release date and features are what we’re focusing on in 2019, even though the last update, Android 9 Pie, is still slowly rolling out to smartphones after its launch last August.
When does Android Q come out? Which features will be added? What phones can download Android? Right now, we’re mostly answering these questions through historical data and leaks, and we’ll know more concrete facts as Google IO 2019 approaches.
Google hasn’t announced when Android Q will come out. Heck, it hasn’t even acknowledged that the next OS version will even be called Android Q – but given each version’s progression to the next letter in the alphabet, Android Q is a pretty safe bet.
If Android 9 Pie’s announcement window is anything to go by, we could see Google officially announce Android Q in early March – and perhaps, like last year’s release, see an alpha build released to developers on the same day. The full Android Q name may happen in early August.
As to when you can get Android Q, well…that requires even more divination. We’ll likely get it in mid-August 2019, according to Google’s historical OS update timing, and that’s just on Google Pixel phones.
