Android 10 is was launched at the beginning of September, starting with Google's Pixel devices and the Essential Phone, to subsequently land on the rest of the terminals compatible with the new version. But like every year, we have seen how some terminals are left without the last delivery of the operating system by decision of their manufacturers, despite being devices fully capable of running the seventeenth version of the platform.
It is now, therefore, that we must thank more than ever for the work done by independent ROM development platforms, because thanks to them we have the possibility of install Android 10 on devices that, otherwise, would die anchored to the old editions of the system ..
