Moments ago, Google announced that the next update, hitherto called Android Q, will be actually called Android 10, thus also deserting the idea of naming its OS updates after a dessert, beginning with Android 10. Before you could blink though, Nokia has come up with release date plans for as many as 17 of its devices that will receive the Android Q, err, Android 10 update.

Nokia claimed — somewhat dubiously, albeit! — that they were the fastest to roll out an Android Pie, and we would accept that claim actually because they were indeed better at rolling out Android Pie for such a large portfolio of devices, covering even the most budget of Android handsets they released. If you ask us, they were easily one of the top OEMs to roll out Android Pie update in a very timely manner. Let’s hope Nokia can replicate the feat with Android 10 too.

Nokia moved quickly to share its plan on releasing Android 10 Go update for the Android Go devices. Here’s what they shared (via Twitter).
Nokia has already released (April 29) the Android 10 Go update for Nokia 1 Plus. We can thus expect the Nokia 2.1 and Nokia 1 to get the update in Q2 2020.
Not that this is entirely a new piece of info, as Nokia has already told us these dates for these devices earlier.
