Google revealed a ton of details about Android Q[1] during the opening keynote at Google I/O 2019. The company detailed a new Night Theme, a few very impressive accessibility features, new privacy and security initiatives, and parental controls.
Since then, the company has stuck to the Android Q beta release schedule, and most recently released Beta 5 of Android Q[2].

Android Q: Release date
We don't have an official release date for the finalized build yet, but Google has released five out of six expected beta releases up until this point. Anyone can participate in the program, as long as you have a supported device.
You'll need to visit the official Android Q beta device list[4] to find instructions specific to your device. Be forewarned, however: Some OEMs require you to factory reset your phone before installing Android Q -- and all device makers will require a factory reset should you decide you want to leave the Android Q beta.
What devices are included?
Google expanded the list of supported devices outside of its Pixel line, including 21 total devices from 12 different OEMs.
