Update: August 30, 2019 (02:20 PM ET): We don't have a confirmed launch date for Android 10, but we have a new hint from Canadian wireless provider Rogers. In an updated forum post, the company says that Pixel devices will see Android 10 on September 3, which is this coming Tuesday.
While this date should be treated simply as a rumor for now, it does make a lot of sense with the official schedule laid out below. At this point, expecting Android 10 to land on September 3 is not at all out of the realm of possibility.
Keep this page bookmarked as we will update it as soon as we know a date for certain!
Original article: August 7, 2019 at 1:10 p.m. ET: The Android Q beta program is well underway. Google has released a total of six Android Q developer previews (well, seven if you count the maintenance release). If you're not thrilled with the idea of installing beta software on your phone but are interested in giving Android Q a shot, you're probably wondering about the official Android Q release date.

This year, Google rolled out six beta releases, so now we're waiting on the stable rollout of Android Q. We don't have an exact Android Q release date for the full, consumer-ready version, but we do know it will roll out sometime in Q3 2019. Judging from last year, that will probably be sometime in August.
Below, you can see what Google has planned for the Android Q release dates for each of the six Android Q beta versions:
- Beta 1 (initial release, beta, March 13, 2019)
- Beta 2 (incremental update, beta, April 3, 2019)
- Surprise Beta 2 maintenance release (incremental update, beta, April 10, 2019)
- Beta 3 (incremental update, beta, May 7, 2019, coinciding with Google I/O)
- Beta 4 (final APIs and official SDK, Play publishing, beta, June 5, 2019)
- Beta 5 (release candidate for testing Q3 2019)
- Beta 6 (release candidate for final testing Q3 2019)
- Final release to AOSP and ecosystem (Q3 2019)

Although it's likely Google will stick pretty hard to that timeline, there's always the possibility that things could be pushed back or pushed forward, depending on how smoothly each rollout goes.
If you're wondering what the final name for Android Q is, it's actually Android 10. Google is doing away with the longstanding naming convention for Android releases so there will be no sweet treat name attached to the newest version of Android.
