Galaxy S3 2012 will soon run Android 10

According to information published in the Replicant forum topic on the Samsung Galaxy S3, in the near future, the South Korean company's eight-year flagship smartphone will receive an update based on Android 10. Of course, this is not official software. However, fans of one of the company's most successful models will have the opportunity to keep the “old” up to date.
Keep in mind that Replicant is a group of free developers that bring new versions of Android to legacy smartphones. In a topic posted on the forum today, one of the users asked if Replicant 9, based on Android 9, would work as fast as firmware based on Android 6. To that, one of the members of the development team replied that Currently, it is underway the portability process of Android 10, which will surpass the Android 6-based firmware at speed, since the smartphone will be able to fully use the graphics hardware acceleration thanks to the new driver of the video subsystem.
Obviously, the smartphone is irrevocably out of date. Its main problem today is the indecently small amount of RAM. Her device is only 1 GB. However, the replicant policy does not provide for integration into the firmware of Google Play services; therefore, the smartphone can work very quickly, albeit with several restrictions.
