12 ANDROID ADVISOR • ISSUE 67
ANDROID 10
Pixel owners are still a minority. Google can make
these incremental, useful changes to Android, the
most popular mobile OS in the world, yet most of
the phones out there won’t get it in this form.
Flagship £1,000+ phones might not get every
feature even when Android 10 does roll out to them,
and many cheaper phones won’t ever get the update.
Pixels are a good buy if you value the software
upgrades Google gives you every year, but they come
at a premium and are not even available worldwide.
We really like Android 10 on Pixel, but we also
really like other smartphones, and this vision of
Android is, like many of the versions before it,
a Pixel exclusive update for a small number of
smartphone users. Henry Burrell
