This sounds to good to be true.

That's what I thought too. Testing phase is generally pretty close to release. But we usually get a beta program first, so who knows.

Wow! If it's released in 2019, I'll be amazed.

I don't think it's to good to be true last i recall google did a new program to work with other phone manufacturer to get the latest update out faster.

That was in effect on the Note9 too (Project Treble?). Which, admittedly, the Note9 got Pie faster than the Note8 got Oreo (about two months sooner) but it was still February of the following year (after release). This seems much quicker!

If Samsung pushes out the latest software just weeks or a couple months after Google releases it, I'll be in utter shock. I confirmed it says its in testing on Tmobile site. I'm cautiously excited!

I don't doubt that it's in the testing phase. But that doesn't mean much - products can be in testing for a very long time. We can infer from this that we will (probably) get Android 10. That isn't a surprise. But we can't infer when that will happen.

I would not be so enthusiast about android 10, I read an article here in XDA about how convoluted the file management is

They'll be testing until next year, dont hold you're breathe

Oh really? What is so weird about it? Do you recall?

I was wondering that too. This talks about it.

Yes, that is the article, suposedly to increase security, but I see it more troublesome than helpful

While testing products can last a very long time, typically when carriers state the next OS update is in the testing phase, that means they are fairly close to release. It means they have the final version and are making sure it works on their network prior to release.

That is interesting. I'll have to see how it works IRL, but it sounds cumbersome.

I'm not so much excited about the update to Q itself, as I am the anticipation and leaks leading up to it. Honestly the leaked video of Q didn't really show anything groundbreaking, which is fine. Pie works great on this phone.

^This! I had Tmobile branded phones from the Galaxy S until my Note 10+. The longest I've waited once it went to testing was 6 weeks. Least was 2 weeks.

While I'm skeptical, I believe this isn't fake and maybe it's the next step for Samsung phones. Fingers crossed! (Go Project Treble?!?! )

Available a month after everyone is using the S11.

Once I receive my note10+, first thing I will do is block updates, just in case android 10 has some serious bugs or battery hogging issues, or anything I dont like, after evaluating o confirmation that android 10 indeed is a worthy update, i would update

How would you do that on a locked 10+??
