The Android Q developer preview, an early version of the major Android update planned for later this year, may launch today. The speculation arrives via XDA Developers Editor-in-Chief Mishaal Rahman (h/t Android Police) based on findings in Google’s Android Q bug tracker.

In the issue tracker, which Google recently made viewable to the public, Google provides a link (highlighted in red in the image below) to a page where you can view previously reported bugs. To access the page, you must head here and select the OEM option from the drop-down menu.

If you click through the highlighted link, you’ll be taken to this page, which, as you can see, has the March 11 date already filled in.

Confirmed: More OEMs will support Android Q beta than Android P preview

This suggests the tracker will begin to feature bug reports from today onwards, indicating that Android Q will also arrive before the day is done.

We’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for this, but if it does launch today like Android P’s first preview in mid-March 2018, Google Pixel owners should be able to test out the software themselves.

Excited? Let me know what you hope for from Android Q in the comments, and find out what we know about it so far in our dedicated Android Q features page.
