Top 10 Best Features To Expect On Android 10 - Android Q

There have been a lots of buzz lately about Android P successor, code named Android Q which have now been confirmed to be name Android 10.

Google has also confirmed that Android 10 is set to roll out in the next few weeks. The new Android Q is the first Android OS from the tech giant not to feature a dessert name.

Did you know: Android 1.5 was called Cupcake?

The beta version for the Android 10 has been available for public testing since March 2019. After some of the beta tests we ran, we’re glad to discuss some of the best but not so new top features on Google's Android 10, Telling you everything you need to know about the new Android OS.

New Themes For Customization On Android 10

One of the best feelings is be able to personalize your device to taste and this latest version of Android rolls out with some cool themes that can spice up the look and feel of your OS.

Some of the theme colors on Android 10 includes: Purple. Green. Black. Orchid. Space. Ocean. Blue. Cinnamon. Of course, you can still access more themes by installing a third-party launcher.

The Dark Mode Is Available On Android 10

A new method of general system theming is the dark mode feature that lets you switch the screen display to a dark color for better visibility at night. It also enables you to save your Android phone battery life.

Google’s Android Q has the dark mode option, which can be turned on or off easily via the system settings.

Sharing Shortcut Is Faster On Android 10

Sharing across apps in previous Android versions have been a problem for many users because the share menu usually takes a while to load.

The good news is that Google has fixed this in the Android 10. Google claims that the share menu now loads instantly, which means that the load time is now faster.

We have also confirmed from the beta that there is a “share shortcut feature” that lets developers create an option in the share menu that can share a file to another app.

Improved Privacy On Android 10

In the past few years, privacy has been an enormous concern in the tech world. Big companies such as Facebook have been involved in privacy scandals that resulted in huge losses.

Google does not want to fall victim to privacy scandals anytime soon. The new Android 10 features a unique style of user privacy control.

If you gave an app, specific permissions, then that app would not be able to gain access to those privileges unless it is opened.

For instance, the Facebook app on your smartphone will not be able to access your contact list in the background.

Gesture and Phone Navigation On Android 10

The back button is no longer supported. Navigation now involves the use of different gestures. You will have to swipe the screen to open the app drawer, close an app, or launch the home screen.

Note: Other phone brands are still able to modify the system navigation and gestures based on their various tweaks of Android OS.

Live Caption On Android 10

The live caption feature lets you watch videos or play audio files on your smartphone with subtitles on the screen. There is no required internet connection for this feature; Google’s inbuilt speech recognition system does the transcription.

The live caption feature is particularly useful to users who have challenges with hearing.

Parental Settings On Android 10

The new OS will feature a parental control feature that lets guardians and parents set screen-time, app-time, and app install restrictions for their wards or children, respectively.

This is to ensure the digital safety of Android users who are under the age of 18.

Support For Foldable Devices On Android 10

Foldable screens are growing in popularity, and Google has noticed this. Android Q packs support for the Samsung foldable device that is being released soon.

The OS can detect when an app is closed, relaunched, or needs to resize to maintain screen proportion.

The Bubbles Feature On Android 10

Multitasking has been enhanced with the bubbles feature. It behaves just like the bubble feature on Android messenger that is represented by a small round icon that can be displayed over any app.

Similarly, the Android bubble lets you receive notifications from any app while using other apps; especially messages and hangouts.

You can, of course, set permissions for the apps that will be able to send you notifications.

Better Internet Connectivity And API On Android 10

5G connection is still in beta testing in some parts of the world, while it is ready to launch in other regions.

Google has added a support feature for 5G internet granting apps that depend on internet connections to use the fast connection with ease.

The internet API also enables online apps to understand when a user’s internet is capped or slow.

Final Thoughts On Android 10

Android 10 is expected to receive positive reviews once it launches in the coming weeks. Some of the features listed above are entirely new and marks massive progress for Google in the mobile industry.

More features are expected to roll out in the coming weeks once app developers capitalize on the new Android API.

We expect to see the official rollout of Android 10 before the end of the third quarter of the year.
