Dark Theme: Apart from the usual brightly lit theme, Android 10 comes with a Dark Theme which isn’t something of rocket science to understand. It paints the UI dark and relieves stress that brightly lit displays put on the batteries as well as human eyes.
Gesture-based Navigation: Available as an option around other navigation systems, this particular gesture-based setup uses gestures to do things such as go back, swipe across the left or right edge while to proceed to the home screen, pull the slider on the bottom a bit or pull it straight up to the center of the display vertically to check out app overviews.
Google Play Store System Updates: Unlike previous Android OSes, Android 10 brings a new feature towards updating the smartphones running it. Starting with a few bug fixes and monthly security updates, Google will push these updates via Google Play Store instead of OTA which means you can get the updates faster and download it as you would update an app.
Sound Amplifier: Don’t worry if you are in a crowded place such as on a train or at the station because Android 10 has your back. This feature amplifies the sound and reduces the external noise that could disrupt the listening experience. It also comes with Sound Visualizer in case if you want to tweak the frequencies to get the most of it.
Live Caption: The features transcribes everything from videos to audio files to podcasts to your recordings on your phone at real-time. This is a great feature for those who are lost in the language barrier or those who can’t hear but can read.

It packs in one of the largest batteries in smartphones i.e. a humongous 6,350 mAh Li-Ion keeps the beast going for hours without any hassle.

Ulefone Note 7
The Ulefone Note 7 sports a 6.1-inch IPS LCD display with 1GB RAM and runs on MediaTek MT6580 dual-core SoC. It has a 16GB internal storage backed by a 3,500 mAh battery pack. The Ulefone Note 7 runs on a toned-down Android Oreo 8.1 Go Edition OS out-of-the-box which means even if it gets Android 10 update, it will be a Go Edition which we can speculate to arrive after the full-fledged version is launched later this year.

The phone has a 6.1-inch water-drop shaped notch with a 3,500 mAh battery powering the device that was launched this year featuring Android Oreo 8.1 Go as aforementioned. This means that if Ulefone is upgrading the S11 with Android 10, it will be a Go version of the upcoming Android OS and we could see it roll out sometime in 2020 if not right away after its August release.
Status: Eligible (GO Edition)
Estimated Date: To Be Announced

Why my smartphones are not eligible for an update?
To be honest, Android from Google actually supports every smartphone or at least those with decent specifications are up for two years of Android major updates and almost three years of security updates.
But not that only Pixel and Essential Phones get the Google Android updates right away in its stock mode while many OEMs customize the OS to fit their smartphones. When Google makes its update available for OEMs, it is basically OEM’s task to customize and introduce it via OTA and depending upon the specifications and eligibility of the display, OEMs roll out updates accordingly and note that this might take months to reach even if you have an eligible device.
But if either the phone has actually received two major Android updates or has ceased to get the update within the specified two year support period, your device will be ineligible to get an update. On the other hand, every new Android OS comes with slightly higher requirements which means if your phone is not prepared to support the next OS update, it will be ineligible as well. There are a number of factors that can weigh in when it comes to eligibility such as the specifications of the phone, price range, country (region), etc.
In case your phone is listed in the ‘not eligibility’ section, there are a number of options you can try out such as by installing a custom ROM such as Resurrect OS or LineageOS. You can also upgrade to a newer device from Ulefone to get a renewed Android major update support.
