Android 10: all its features and functions

This 2019 will present the new version of Google's operating system for mobiles, Android 10. Both before, during and after its presentation at Google I / O 2019, we will be collecting here all the features of Android Q that are confirmed in this way such as the mobiles that will receive the update or the betas that can be installed in each brand. To make the wait more enjoyable, there are news about the commitments of the manufacturers to update its terminals that may interest you.

What's new in Android 10, the first without a dessert name

For the first time, the Mountain View company has abandoned the desserts. This time, its operating system, although internally it is still 'Android Q' maintaining the usual alphabetical order, it is commercially Android 10. In this sense, the Mountain View firm has adapted to its most direct rival, which is Apple, and has always used a numerical name. So, behind are the desserts, and from now on we will talk about Android 10.

Android 10 Features

Dark mode

Although Google has already started this important interface change with Android 9 Pie, finally Android 10 has meant the complete introduction of dark mode. Users choose one mode or another and, automatically, all apps adapt as long as they have been prepared by the developers. Google apps are already adapted, and the entire operating system natively, and this helps reduce energy consumption in favor of better autonomy.

Smart energy management

With each new version of the operating system, Google has made improvements in this area. Now, energy management uses artificial intelligence, and the machine learning algorithm , to adapt energy consumption to our needs and particular uses of the device. Based on our habits, Android 10 it is constantly learning when we need more or less energy and power and it adapts to achieve the maximum possible autonomy.

Live Caption

Technology Live Caption is in charge of putting automatic subtitles, even without an Internet connection, to any audio or video file. In this way, when we cannot enjoy movies with sound, for example, we can continue consuming multimedia content without any problem. Previously we had to resort to third-party apps, and now this is a function natively integrated into the operating system Android 10.

Smart Reply

Technology Smart Reply is also natively integrated into the entire operating system Android 10. This means that the OS is capable of recognizing text messages in messaging apps to suggest automatic responses that we can quickly send to our contacts. And it is not only capable of suggesting complete text phrases, in our language, but also shortcuts to applications and emojis.

New emojis

Adapting to the latest Unicode news, Android 11 enter on the Google keyboard, pre-installed in the operating system, nothing less than 65 new emoji. In this way we will have more forms of expression with the graphic keyboard and, above all, collectives that were not previously represented are included. This update happens every year, and in fact the Unicode Consortium yam is working on the next new features.

Sound amplifier

Automatically, thanks to this accessibility option, the operating system Android 10 is able to recognize ambient sound. And it does it so that, when we are using headphones to reproduce any type of sound, video or music, the frequencies are raised or lowered in volume adaptively and dynamically. This way we can enjoy the sound to a greater extent, even if there is ambient 'noise'.

Gesture control

Following the trend set by Android 9 Pie, in Android 10 Physical buttons, capacitive buttons, and even touch buttons are a thing of the past. The operating system can be completely controlled by gestures, although there are four main ones. The start one, the one to go back, the one to open multitasking and the one that allows us to switch between applications. We will use them 'pulling' from the bottom to the top, sliding from the side, sliding from below and keeping in the central area or sliding from the left to the right, respectively.

Privacy control

Now we have a new system of permit management for applications that is not only more complete, but above all gives more information to the user. We can know which apps use which hardware, in what way and at what times, with information even in real time. And regarding the location with GPS, mobile networks or Wi-Fi, we can control whether the apps have access only when they are in use, or at any time, as iOS already allowed.

Focus Mode

El 'concentration mode' it is an improvement of the Digital Wellbeing system. Making use of the Focus Mode We can temporarily restrict access to the applications that usually take the longest, so that we have a while to disconnect to work, for example, or to study. Or simply, to stay away from the applications that most make us have the mobile in our hands.

In addition, we have Family Link. Help your children while they learn, play or surf the Internet. You can set usage time limits, view app activity, manage app and content restrictions, and see where they are.

Security patches

From Android 10, the monthly security patches are going to stop being distributed to the manufacturers, and that these are the ones that make them reach the users by an OTA update. From now on, security patch updates will reach users directly from the Google Play Store, as if it were an application update. Therefore, they will arrive faster and a greater number of users.

Photo enhancements

Now Android 10 it natively supports monochrome photographic sensors, a novelty in the photographic section that has been especially exploited by the Chinese manufacturer Huawei. And the format is natively supported as well. .heic that allows an excellent relationship between quality and compression, much higher than .jpg, which is the most widely used format in this field.

Android 10 Go

For cheaper mobiles there is also an update and it is called Android 10 Go. It is for mobiles with 1,5 GB of RAM and, compared to Android 9 Go, the speed of starting applications has improved. In addition, it has optimized the use of RAM memory and has also introduced a new encryption system that does not require specific hardware. And of course, much of the changes from the standard version of Android 10.
