It's been over a month since Google first rolled out a stable build of Android 10 for its Pixel devices. Since then several manufacturers, including Essential, OnePlus, and Xiaomi have released their own stable Android 10 updates for select devices. However, due to the current state of updates in the Android ecosystem, most other manufacturers are lagging far behind. Samsung has announced the One UI 2.0 beta based on Android 10 for the Galaxy S10 and Note 10 series, LG has launched the Android 10 preview for the LG G8 ThinQ, and similarly, Huawei, Xiaomi, and Honor have also started rolling out beta updates for a handful of devices. Now, Chinese manufacturer Oppo has also joined the fray and is rolling out ColorOS 6 beta based on Android 10 to the Oppo Reno in India.
