This week marks the final release of the Android Q update series in Beta form before the final release.
Android Q is on its Final Beta, which means what it always means: The first official public build is nearly here for the masses.
In fact most phones out in the wild right now will NOT get Android Q. That’s a bummer if you’re the sort of person who expects that newer is better and that every new version of a software should, by rights, be on the device for which you laid down hundreds of your hard-earned dollars!
If you’ve got a Google Pixel phone, you’ll probably get Android Q.
If you’ve got one of the following phones that are already participating in the Google Android Beta Program, chances are you’ll get a final version of Android Q when the time is right.
Phones that’ll (probably) get Android Q update:
In the run-up to the next Made By Google event typically held later in the autumn, Google has already shared the first official picture of the Pixel 4, along with info on all the fancy sensors and tech stashed inside its top bezel.
But now, based on some new leaks uncovered by 9to5Google, we’re getting an even better idea of what to expect on the Pixel 4, including details regarding a few interesting new features.
Starting with the general specs, it appears that the Pixel 4's screen will be getting a small bump up to 5.7 inches, up from 5.5 inches on the Pixel 3, while the Pixel 4 XL is holding pat with a 6.3-inch display.
Both phones also reportedly feature the same resolutions as last year, with the Pixel 4 getting a full HD+ screen (probably around 2160 x 1080), while the Pixel 4 XL gets a QHD+ display with a resolution around 2960 x 1440.
But what may even be more important is that both Pixel 4 may get OLED screens with a “Super Smooth” 90Hz refresh rate, which is a feature Samsung failed to add to the recently announced Galaxy Note 10.
This would put the Pixel 4 in a select crowd of phones with above-average refresh rates including the OnePlus 7 Pro and ROG Phone 2, whose screens tend to offer a more responsive and more fluid viewing experience.
