The Galaxy M10, M20 will NOT receive Android Pie out of the box
Following HMD Global’s update on its Android Pie rollout timeline, Samsung has released a new update for its Android Pie rollout.
Comparing to the initial update, Samsung has moved the Android Pie rollout for its 2017 flagships (Galaxy Note 8, S8, and S8+) a month earlier to next month, which is good news. The same goes for the Galaxy A series, as the updated timeline indicates that Samsung will be able to roll it out a month earlier than initially planned.
For this updated timeline, Samsung mentions that the Galaxy M10 and M20 will receive the update sometime August this year, which means Samsung’s upcoming entry-level phones will come with Android Oreo out of the box—which is quite a disappointment considering other brands (like the Honor 10 Lite) are launching their 2019 phones with Android Pie out of the box.
Slated for a January 28 launch, the Galaxy M20 will be an interesting offering from Samsung, as it is rumored to have an Exynos 7885 processor, 3GB RAM, 6-inch IPS display, 8-megapixel front camera, 15-megapixel and 5-megapixel rear cameras, USB-C, and a generous 5000mAh battery.
