Now, POCOphone head of product Jai Mani has confirmed that the POCOphone F1 will receive theAndroid Qupdate as well. Mani was responding to a user’s query on Twitter.
It’s refreshing to see third-party Android manufacturers explicitly commit to updates — even when these updates haven’t been revealed yet. As for a launch window, recent Android updates have been released to the public in August each year. So we’d expect the POCOphone F1 to receive a stable Android Q update in the months that follow.
It’s also noteworthy that Mani said the phone would getAndroid Pieand Android Q “at least.” This suggests that we might even see Android R on the budget-minded device.
The Chinese brand has also continued to update POCOphone F1 users on various issues and feedback requests.
