Xiaomi promises to bring Android 10 Q update on its Poco F1 smartphone

**Xiaomi's Poco F1** was **launched** in India this year in August and quickly became quite famous for being a midrange smartphone with flagship-like qualities. The phone was launched with a customised version of MIUI 10 with a ‘Poco Launcher’ based on Android 8.1 Oreo. Xiaomi had promised that the Poco F1 would be getting the Android 9.0 Pie update later this year, and even a **Geekbench listing** revealed the device running Android 9.0 Pie. While Android Pie is expected soon, it looks like next year’s Android Q is also going to be a reality. Jay Mani, who is the head of product for Pocophone has confirmed that the smartphone will also receive Android Q. We don’t know what Q stands for though. Android Quinoa? Queen? Quaker Oats?

We'll do at least P and Q
