08 October 2019
OEMs will not get Google Mobile Services if they have an older OS version after that day.

It will probably get some market share, which is good, but nothing too crazy, but well, we see, maybe their will be a third OS to fight back, even though, what harmony has to offer? At the end it is as invasive as the other two os's...

                Welp, I'm going back to iPhone then....screw Google, they can kiss my backside. Their requirements are getting tyrannical in nature....the digital wellbeing requirement is garbage. Apples stuff may be a walled garden, but at least they arent forcing garbage Apps on people. I'll wait and see what happens. I'm hoping OEMs will allow those apps to be uninstalled.

                  mandatory update seems good.

                    A good move for the users only if the next year's models will not be padded with additional costs to follow this requirement from Google.

                        LG V30+ Thinq still competiter in 2019 and android OS 10 update in 2020.

                          Finally Google is forcing these lazy and cheap companies into working for their consumers. These vendors are making Google look bad by neglecting their customers.

                            Google can't even manage devices bought today with the current version. Plus I got a brand new off the shelf LG that has not even updated to android 9 and I still have android 8. Add in that for Smart Homes I had already bought or installed speakers, displays and 10 other devices for Google Home. BIG MISTAKE. This week I am switching to Amazon Alexa. Why? Google can't keep up with Alexa. Check it out. Google has not kept competitive with Amazon's ability to do as much, do it better, do it timely and with features as inclusive and easier to download and install. In 10 minutes at a friend's house he let me use his display...omg...Goggle you disappoint, frustrate and now you are losing my business. Your incompetent arrogance just signed your death sentence.

                              A joke! Won't happen IMO. Best release it through Play store. So many manufacturers with heavy skins on top, you've gotta have a hole in the head to buy this bull£#@!

                                new devices should be released with Android 10,,if manufacturers cannot cope then this may reduce the ridiculous amount of android phones released which is a blessing.

If it is difficult to achieve, we're lucky to have less phones next year :) Generally less similar models is rather good news than bad.
