Everything you need to know about Google’s Next OS – Android P
Google has recently spilled the beans about the next version of its Operating System – the Android P. The developer preview of Android P is now available to download on Pixel devices by Google. Though this would be too early to hit the update button on your Android phone, the Android P is packed with developer centric features from Android app development. Here is the list of everything that the OS Android P bears as NEW
1. The Notch Design Android P might look familiar to the users of iPhone X. It will reportedly embrace an interface, which includes the polarizing notch and will have the superior iPhone’s system of the frontfacing camera in the display.The front-facing sensors featured in Android P will leave a notch on your display and make the cutout’s support easier in the display through APIs to help create UI around the notch. You can have full-screen apps with side buttons avoiding the notch areas in between the display.
2. Indoor Positioning One of the most-loved and used navigation apps Google Maps will now not be limited to driving or walking outside. You will be able to use it indoor places like malls with Android P. This new feature will have added support for “Wi-Fi Round Trip Time,” or RT provisioning more specific positioning through Wi-Fi.
3. Improved Notifications Google’s Android P is making it possible for developers to shift even more of the conversation from the messenger of your choice into a notification. Image attachments and stickers will now be appearing in the notification, vanishing that dreadful “person has sent an attachment” message you receive currently. This will tremendously improve the at-a-glance messaging.
4. P for Privacy There are myriad privacy and security things going on in the background for Android P. Most important of them be a new restriction system for cameras, sensors, and microphones if any app is marked as idle. As in the existing Android OS, when you give an app the access to your cameras and microphones, it will use these tools whenever it wants to. But the new Android P will block the apps from accessing the camera and mic when running in the background.
5. Better, Faster Smarter Google Assistant It is also likely that Android P will integrate with Google Assistant more tightly to sideline other digital assistants, the Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa. According to a report, Google will open up thirdparty developers assistance, like Amazon did with Alexa, allowing you to ask Google Assistant to perform non-Google apps tasks as well for you in.
6. Multi-Camera Support These days many Android phones have multiple cameras on the front or back, but very few are able to work simultaneously. Google’s new API addition for developers will allow exploring the world where multiple cameras can be used at the same time.
Conclusion The developer preview of Google’s New OS Android is lured up with a bucket full of exciting features and scope for multiple Android app development to leverage the features to the fullest. Hire Android App Developers to build your Android P ready app today.
