Question in the title- as the 4a launches with android 10 out the box but so close to the android 11 release ( in fact in most countries it's only available on the 1st of October, when android 11 will have been released and so it should ship with it), do you think it will get android 14? If it stops at android 13, for most pixel 4a owners that will only be 2 OS updates and even then it isn't really 3 years android updates for those who got it on 10. Also with the 4a 5g launching with 11 and so will 100% get 14, surely the 4a should too?

I guess the two trains of thought would be 3 years from release date vs. 3 years from release year. 3 years from release year would be best, from anyone's standpoint. My Pixel XL got one more final OS update to Android 10 at the end of 2019, which was both unexpected and very nice. :good:
If it comes out within 3 years, yes..

Facts about the topic "Android 9 Beta"
Greet you Nokia friends. My curiosity lures me back to you here. "Android 9 beta" can someone say something more specific? I want to have. all information and news desired.
Greetings from Germany
The Nokia 8 is not in the Android Beta programme as it's not compliant with project treble and is not an Android One phone.
However; it's OS is as near as dammit standard Android which should make it easy for HMD/Nokia to bring it Android P quickly, and they've confirmed the phone will receive the update. The main hurdle is the lack of onscreen navigation buttons which play a large part in the UI change, as well as how the data partitions work for the OS. HMD/Nokia have said that they will still bring it Android P in spite of this though.

Hello Oppo users,
I have a oppo reno ace gundum edition.
Just got it before 2 days and cannot enroll in color os 7 beta as quotas is full.
But my question is, has anyone received the march security patch update?
Not yet I'm still on February
I'm currently a beta tester for ColorOS version 7 and have the latest rolling security patch (March 5 2020).
ColorOS 6+, still on February's patch when I was on it before the upgrade.
ColorOS 7 is a bit buggy, occasionally freezing when browsing websites on Chrome but overall good experience.

ouch... thats harsh, i would have at least expected one more year of security updates only, without major android updates. harsh especially since EMUI 11 isnt even out of Beta status yet...
edit: hold on a sec, we're still gonna get updates, just not regular ones anymore!
quote - "If the Mate 10 series is any indication, this doesn't mean that Huawei will stop sending updates to the phones entirely. They'll likely still receive patches; regularly for some time, then slowly afterwards—over the course of this year, at least."
ok, this i can live with, way more smooth than just going cold turkey

Ahh right. I didn't know that.
I'm still on EMUI 10.
So do we think the Mate 20 X will ever get anymore updates after the EMUI 11 update?
Major updates no. So no EMUI 12 or whatever it will be called.
However, Security updates will still come most likely.
Man don't u read news ??? 50 series , 40 series 30 series and 20 series gonna have Harmony OS ...
Why u even missing some ''fake'' security updates'' ??? they don't do anything just overwrites the date that they will keep you happy ... don't be pathetic

im skeptical to switch over from an largely open source (AOSP Android) to a completely proprietary OS fully designed by Huawei... not seeing any benefits, but i agree insofar that having more choices is usually better

I was trying to register my pixel 7 pro for the android beta program but it's not listed as one of the eligible devices. Any advice?
I tried the same thing earlier today. I'm assuming we just need to wait?
I tried the same thing. I have so many tiny software complaints that I'd like to see changed. I'll be checking weekly for eligibility
Probably won't happen until the next beta is released, unfortunately.

Where did you hear this?
I believe that's the standard practice where new devices join with the following beta? So there's a precedent set.

This is the first batch only. It will come out later, but there is no point. Android 10 100% with some UI changes. Also, there will be no security updates for Android 10 pretty soon. I use nova launcher prime since day one.
