Android M For Nexus 4, Nexus 10 And Nexus 7 (2012) Seems Possible

Android devices that are over two years old usually get dropped from the supported devices list so it was no surprise to see Google reveal earlier this year that Android M will not be available for Nexus 4, Nexus 10 and the Nexus 7 (2012). This means that folks who have these devices should either upgrade to a new one or keep their fingers crossed for Google to change its mind, and it seems possible that the company might very well change its mind.

A fresh update from May 28th was discovered in the AOSP repositories of Nexus 10 a.k.a manta and the update was marked “android-m-preview,” and similar updates were found for the Nexus 4 and the Wi-Fi only variant of Nexus 7 (2012).

Google is keeping quiet for now so it hasn’t confirmed whether or not it will really bring Android M to these devices, it has also not yet commented on this report.

The possibility exists that Google might be testing preview builds of the Android M for Nexus 4, Nexus 10 and the Nexus 7 (2012) and if it feels that the software can run up to the mark on these devices perhaps it will officially announce that they’ll get Android M as well.

Android M was unveiled by Google at this year’s I/O developers conference, the new software’s public release is expected to take place in the fall alongside a new Nexus handset from the company.
