Android 10 is coming, and it's introducing a new naming tradition . Exit the dessert names, Google will now identify different versions of Android with numbers. And for this new edition of its operating system, Google delivers many new features.
With Android 10, Google offers its users to natively enjoy a dark theme without having to go through a third-party application. A mode that should satisfy users accustomed to surfing their phone in the dark.
While foldable smartphones are just pointing the corner, Android 10 is already operational. The new version of Android adapts to the interface of the smartphone on which it is installed. On a collapsible smartphone, Android 10 supports multitasking, different windows, and dual or solo display.
The new version of Google's operating system is also able to adapt to 5G devices and therefore operate with less latency.
Real time subtitles
With Live Caption, Android 10 offers users the ability to automatically caption videos and audio files they view or listen to. The opportunity to better understand what is happening on the screen or in his headphones, but also to enjoy content without having to put the sound.
Unfortunately, this significant new feature will only be available on Google's smartphones, Pixel. The Mountain View company should however offer it later on other partner devices.
Initially introduced to respond to emails on Gmail, the Smart Reply feature deploys with Android 10. From now on, users will be able to access "smart answers" to respond to various notifications. These intelligent responses are generated automatically through machine learning, which helps maintain user privacy.
If desired, the user can disable the feature.
A new gesture navigation
With this major Android update, the navigation bar is bowing out. Android 10 allows users to navigate the interface of their smartphone only via gestures with the fingertips. The opportunity for applications to be displayed in full screen and offer a "more immersive" experience to users.
Better control of location data
Android 10 will allow users to better manage application access to their location data. They will be able to decide to give access to this information only when they use the application or at any time.
Users will also be able to deny this access.
Important update
With Android 10, system updates are integrated with Google Play. A way to simplify their installation and make the update interface more intuitive. By centralizing the update, Google says users will be able to " get the latest security patches, improved privacy, and stability improvements as soon as they are available, without having to reboot your smartphone."
Notification Control
Users will be able to silence some notifications. They will continue to receive notifications, but they will be silent. For this, they will have to press a few moments on the notification to activate the silent mode.
Other improvements and novelties
In addition to these new features, Android 10 will encrypt stored data by default. The new version of Android will also support new audio and video codecs, better Wi-Fi performance and performance optimizations. Android 10 will also introduce audio playback capture, as well as dynamic depth for photos and videos.
