Recently Google publicized the name of their next Android version, named Android Q and is officially known as Android 10. The new version has come up with an all-new logo, font and accompanied by various upgradations that will make you guys feel WOW!
Here are a few insights into this ditching dessert that will help you to know more about it.
· Dark mode
The foremost highlighting feature of android 10 is its Dark mode that users can easily on and off via a Quick Settings toggle. it also offers you to turn both in the system’s UI and apps into The dark mode which ultimately helps in increasing battery life of the phone. Apart from this, it also changes how your Google apps like Calendar and Photos look. So be ready to reduce the strain on your eyes as android 10 will be way too easy on your eyes.
· QR Code for Wi-Fi
Next, we are glad to see that with this new update, Google adopted the trend of Xiaomi and Huawei smartphones that permits the users to share Wi-Fi credentials via QR codes.
All you need to do is tap on your Wi-Fi- connection, then click on the share button. After this, validate with your phone’s password or a fingerprint. Let your friend scan the QR code to access the Wi-Fi. A QR code would be sufficient enough to get connected.
· Focus Mode
Now, Google has enhanced its Digital Wellbeing with Android 10 by introducing a focus mode that will allow the users to select and silent the apps that are less important or are maybe causing a distraction. All you need to do is to sign as a beta tester to use this mode.
· Smart Reply
In the messaging apps in Android 10, you will see an option of “Smart reply” with which your phone can easily predict what you’re going as a revert. This handy way is going to save a lot of time and at the same time; it will be safe enough as the information won’t be sent to the Google servers. Another perk is that you will be able to take the benefit of these auto-responses in the notifications as well.
To add on, android 10 will not only suggest the messages but will also suggest the appropriate actions that can be taken in response to the message which would include the option to send directions or video, etc.
· Audio features
When it comes to the audio features then, android 10 helps you in recording and listening to the audio in two apps at the same time. Earlier we used to listen or record by one app at a time. But now, you treating can even use the recording app while the Google Assistant as well. Also, Android 10 helps you in capturing the audio from another app as well. And in case, if you don’t want to call your Google assistant, then you can trigger Google Assistant by dragging your finger diagonally where the assistant will pop up.
· Thermal API
You might be seemed to be unfamiliar with this word. Well, Thermal API makes you aware of the state of the chipsets and processors on the phone. And in android 10, if your handset has warmed up then, to restore the performance and temperature, apps will make changes in their functioning. Android 10 also works on new USB-related functionality in which a warning is displayed when the charging port is wet or overheating.
· Live Caption
Well, I guess the name is enough to explain this highlight. Yes, this feature will help the users in using the subtitles making content more accessible. This was introduced basically by keeping the deaf and hard of hearing users in mind as Google will detect the speech and will add the caption. What’s more, it will work without the internet and in Airplane Mode as well.
· Bubbles
Just like the Facebook chat heads, in android 10, small circular bubbles will be displayed as floating alerts. You can permit the apps that can use notification bubbles to avoid the rush on the screen. And if you anyhow dislike this functionality then, you can turn it off anytime.
Well, apart from the above-mentioned features, several miscellaneous changes can be seen in the Android 10 such as-
- A new emergency icon in the power menu.
- The lock has been shifted to the top of the interface.
- Availability of preview button on live wallpapers
- Parental controls for the parents to alter app usage for kids.
- Support for the AV1 video codec.
- Availability of New emojis.
