A Glimpse Of Google Android Q Preview


Starting from Cupcake to Oreo, Android has always triggered that sweet nerve within our brain, and let’s accept this fact that Android has unintentionally though, but has always triggered the dessert concoction in our daily life. JJJ

I am assured, most of us out there would agree with me.
However, switching back to the main topic, lemme bring your attention to the BIGGEST news and that is…

Android and Google have released the first preview of Android Q to developers. YIPPPIIEEEE!!!

This has been done in the annual tradition of an early March, where every year new look of Android gets introduced. Indeed this release is largely and only meant for developers, and the changes which would make a difference to the users, are not here but don’t think that there are no changes, which would entice the developers.

To be précised, Google has brought some of the revolutionary changes, such as improved privacy controls and native support for foldable phones.

Android Q Availability
Now the first beta of Android Q is available only for the Pixel device, consisting of first-gen Pixel and Pixel XL.

Google has offered extended support to specific model due to popular demand.

 You can install it on the main device after some time.

Expected Features From Android Q
§  Eventually, one of the major changes Android Q will bring an additional privacy setting for location access, letting users limit apps to only pull that information, till application is in use.

§  Google has also brought new limits to the access apps, that will get access to different aspects like photos, videos, and audio along with any downloaded files on devices.

§  The new Settings Panel API is something which is garnering the attention most. This will allow the developers to get instant, pop-up access to phone settings like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and NFC without having to kick users out to the settings application and back.  This feature will ensure to set up a Bluetooth speaker, your configuration apps would be able to pop up the device’s native Bluetooth panel to be turned on the radios and connect it right away from the application.

§  There will be an improved share sheet in Android Q, letting developers to pre-publish their apps’ functionalities, which further means that the shared UI would load instantly instead, without getting manually rebuilt. Although this is a minor change, this smaller change would transform the game for Android Q and will make it more relishing.

§  The new photo and video options in Q would allow standardizing the depth of map images with work and will let the Android get a new Dynamic Depth format, consisting a JPEG image, depth metadata, and a depth map bundled together.

§  Needless to say, but this would ease down the woes of the third-party website to find the specialized blurs options.
