Will the Note 10 get it?

Yes, All Samsung phones get 2 versions up, started on 9, 1st update is to 10, next is to 11, custom roms will do 12 and 13
 
I've had it for a while. All flagship phones purchased in the last 2-3 years should have it by now.

If not, then don't buy brands that don't update their firmware.
P20 here, still on 9.1

I thought Huawei were quick with their updates. Perhaps the whole Google kerfuffle is causing it.

Huawei has been bad with updates for a while now. They only started the EMUI 10 rollout last month to some very recent devices, and have only confirmed older devices (incl. P20 and P20 Pro) will get it in the coming months.

If losing the Play Store wasn't enough of a deal-breaker, ridiculously slow firmware updates certainly is.
 
Had a quick taste of Android 11 on AVD.
Didn't see much differences between 10 and 11, from my point of view.
I should watch the YouTube channels on Android 11...

“The rollout of Android 10 for Huawei P20 series is scheduled to start in March. The rollout process can take upto 4 weeks.” Huawei Germany.

2 years generally OEMs only update for 2. Even Android one devices seem to only get 2.
 
Or get a Samsung, root it, get a custom ROM and get updates the day after it launched for your device, I am currently updating to firmware for my Note 10+ that has been released on the Samsung portal for 5 hours

Android one is 2 guaranteed major, 3 years guaranteed security updates. I do think you'll probably get longer updates though since it's what the core audience wants and the brands should know that.

Brands won't do it because it, why would you buy a Samsung Galaxy S20 if the S10 is still functional and has 11?
