Infinix, Tecno Set To Update Some Of Their Devices To Android 10

You read that right. Transsion is among the top companies that are set to update some of their devices OS to #Android 10. Google recently announced distribution numbers for its Android operating system that put Android 9 Pie at 22.6% of all devices as of August 2019 – this is nearly a quarter of all Android devices when Android 10 launched.
Transsion is the parent company of #TECNO , #Infinix, #itel and #Syinix. Transsion Holdings is China’s largest phone
exporter and Africa’s leading phone seller. In Q1 2019,
Transsion brands like Tecno and Itel accounted for
33.1 % of the shipment volume. In terms of
smartphone shipments exclusively, Transsion
accounted for 37.4% in Q2 2019 beating Samsung and
Huawei who shared 27.4% and 8.7% respectively.
Google lists that Transsion is among the companies
that promised to update their devices to Android 10.
The same list has companies like ASUS, LG, Motorola,
OPPO, Realme, Samsung, Sharp, Sony and vivo. This
is a good thing as Android fragmentation has been a
huge problem for the operating system hence the
small numbers of Android 9 Pie. Google is hoping
through Project Treble, these OEMs will quickly
update their devices to the recent Android version by
the end of the year.
“Many manufacturers such as ASUS, LG, Motorola,
OPPO, Realme, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, Transsion, and
Vivo have committed to updating some of their
devices to Android 10 by the end of the year”
We can assume some of the recently launched
devices from TECNO and Infinix will get the Android
10 update such as the TECNO Spark 3 Pro (it was in
the Android Q Beta test program), the TECNO
Phantom 9(its flagship device), the TECNO Camon 12
series and the TECNO Spark 4 series.
For Infinix, we can presume they’ll update the Infinix
Hot 8 or the Infinix S5 to Android 10.
The tech giant recently required that all new devices
launch with Android 10 already baked in if approved
after January 31 2020. Transsion smartphone brands
have always launched new devices with an older
operating system when the new Android version has
been available for months and hopefully this move
will bring that change.
