Unlike Nokia and Google’s own Pixel devices and some few manufacturers, Android updates are still an issue to many Android OEMs. Samsung performs reasonably, but given that the company is the number one smartphone vendor around the world, we expect more from them.
Months after Android 10 was officially unveiled, Samsung has detailed its update timelines. And what’s even surprising is that the update timeline is not Samsung’s official announcement, rather its just a leak from one of their websites in Israel. Which means the update roadmap may differ in other markets.
An example is India, where the company has scheduled to roll out One U1 2 based on Android 10 on the Galaxy S9 and S9+ in January instead of April as planned in Israel.
The rollout timeline begins in January and will be rolling out till September 2020 a time when we shall be expecting the next version of Android to officially rollout. As usual, Samsung has given priority to its flagship devices, and we have a surprise appearance of the Galaxy A30 midrange phone.
