Android Q Update

Android 2019 version will be called as the Android Q. The Google mobile operating system has completed more than 10 years now and it will be a special 10th edition update.

Are you thinking what I think? Yes, you are!

Can we expect anything special from Google for successfully completing 10 years in mobile development? Obviously, there should be one such! Will Google name it as Android X following the Apple announcement of iPhone X as a revolutionary device?

I believe that would be a surprise to every Android fan!

Here is everything about Android Q version:

Android Q Name

Yeah! The Android 10 has a name.

Google has always followed a tradition of naming its new Android version with a dessert name in alphabetical order. The tenth update of Android OS i.e., the Android name will start with English letter Q.

So, what is the famous dessert starting with letter Q? Here are some names suggested:

  • Quaker Oats
  • Quenelle
  • Quesadilla
  • Quiche
  • Quinoa Pudding

That sounds like unknown names out there! So will it be Android Quiche, Android Quinoa, Android Quaker Oats or Android Quesadilla, the name of new Android Q version?

More reasons why Google shouldn't go with Android 10 name this year and go ahead with Android X.

Or alteast if the search engine giant has to name it by Q dessert then, I think they should be going with Quinoa Pudding because Android Quinoa sounds like a good name.

Android Q Release Date

This year at Google I/O event, Android 9.0 P was announced but didn't get a name. It's June 2019 and still, we don't have a name for this treat.

The Android Q or the Android 10 release date is expected to be at Google I/O 2019. The event usually happens in the month of May every year but dates of next year events are not announced. This year event will be held from 8 May to 10 May.

The update will be available through Android Q developer preview 1 release first and then there will be a second developer preview release too. Then there will be an official Android 10 Q update.

After the Android Q rolls-out in May 2019, there will be a minor Android 10.1 update. The Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are expected to run on Android Q version.

Android Q Version

The Android Q version will have the following incremental updates.

  • Android 10.0.1
  • Android 10.0.2
  • Android 10.1
  • Android 10.1.1

Android Q Features:

I am sure you are looking for this column because it's the checklist which you consider when upgrading the software to the latest version because it contains certain features.

As of now the full list of expected features isn't known yet but it's leaked at XDA forums that Android Q could introduce assisted dialing feature. It's a helpful feature for the people who travel internationally very often. What it does, it adds appropriate country code automatically.

We are not sure how would that be implemented but that feature will make Android more separate from iOS. This feature is already available in a few smartphones from various device makers but it's not yet implemented on Android as a native feature.
