If you’ve been keeping up with the latest in the world of Android, you would know that Android Q has officially been named Android 10. Yeah, no more dessert names starting with this release, which was accompanied by an Android rebrand to include our favorite robot into the logo itself. Well, ever since that day rumors of Android 10 arriving on 3rd September had been making rounds of the Internet and they were true.
Starting off, one of the highlights of Android 10 is that it offers native support for what could be the next big trend in smartphones — foldables. This means it will support app continuity and help manage how apps shrink or expand when opening/closing a folding phone. I’ve already told you that system-wide dark mode is in tow here, with better location and privacy settings – bringing in more granular controls for those who are nitpicky about this stuff.
Google is also offering a new fullscreen gesture navigation system with Android 10. Yeah, the pill still remains the default but you could choose to switch to the newer iOS/ MIUI-style gestures. One of the most interesting features introduced in Android 10 will have to be live captions. At the tap of a button, you’ll be able to see live captions for videos, both online and offline, which is great.
