Android9.0 new features exposure, are you ready?

Android9.0 first appeared on January 25, 2018 in the Google official online, the initial code has been identified as "Pistachio ice Cream" (pistachio ice cream), but according to Google's practice, such a long three word code, It is usually used only at the beginning of the Androvin version development and will be replaced by a simpler single or two-word code later. So what are the new features of Android9.0, let's first explore.

Android9.0 Bangs Design

A core change in Android P 9.0 would be to support the haiping Liu design like the iphone x, which would better optimize the layout of the screen content, allowing the system and applications to take full advantage of the entire screen, especially the left and right corners of the fringe.
As the screen panel matures, more and more Android phones will be haiping Liu this year, and even Huawei is said to be included. While the design of the bangs on the iphone x is controversial, it will certainly be popular with Google. Of course, in addition to Android support, mobile phone manufacturers and application developers must also adapt to haiping Liu, so it is expected that large-scale haiping Liu Android phones will not appear until the end of this year or early next year.

Black-and-white mode toggle

Android Night mode has appeared in the Android6.0. Unfortunately, Google has been slow to introduce it to the official version. Now there are applications on the Android9.0, which for the battery-sensitive and related to the lamp playing mobile phone habits of users, the new features will undoubtedly be more pleasant, affinity. In addition, such as PIXEL2 with OLED screen mobile phones will also benefit, because the OLED screen has a completely non-illuminated black features, to achieve active power saving.

Android 9.0 is exposed new support global night mode

About night mode, in fact, as early as in Developer Preview (Developer Preview) has appeared, to say that the earliest can also be traced back to Android 6.0, but unfortunately, Google did not introduce it into the official version. Interestingly, in the Pixel 2 mobile Android 8.0 system, if the user adjusts a dark color wallpaper, you can change the drop-down notification bar, settings, folder background and so on automatically changed to black, which is also the use of OLED screen black non-luminous characteristics, so as to achieve active power saving. For users who are accustomed to turning off the lights, the newly added features are undoubtedly more readily available.

Other performance optimizations

Since the Android6.0 version, Android continues to optimize performance, and this version is no exception, in this version, Google improved the assistant can be integrated in the application, optimize battery life, support multi-screen and foldable screen and so on.

In addition, the native Android system has added some features or features that will be added in the future, which are some of the optimizations that are now being used by some third-party ROM vendors.

Join LONG

It is believed that many users have met because they want to intercept more than one line longer than a screen length of two images. If you have a scrolling screenshot, the user can intercept all of the content into one picture, which is convenient for many. Native systems are now starting to support this feature.

Write a picture here to describe the improved self-bring file Manager

Like a computer, Android has always allowed users to manage files on their phones, but Android doesn't have a file manager. Fortunately, starting with 6.0 cotton candy, native Android has added its own file manager.

Now, the system comes with this feature, with a file manager that is much simpler than a third-party app and has all the features, including local and network file management. But there is no shortcut.

To open your own file Manager, users need to go to "settings", then tap "Save", then wait for the stored data to be read, then click "File". Such a tedious step is simply anti-human. This problem still exists in the latest Android 8.1. Hopefully Google will be able to add a shortcut like the "File Manager" app icon in a future release.

Join Eye Care Mode

In the early days, mobile phones were only "night mode", simply turning the screen into dark tones. Now, a lot of mobile phones have "eye-care mode", such as iOS "Night Shift" and the manufacturer's custom-built Android eye-protection mode. However, native Android does not have this function.

Write a picture here describing untrusted sources application installation logic

In order to cut off the biggest source of malicious programs, Android allows users to prevent the phone from installing apps from untrusted sources. If the user opens this limit, the system will be prompted not to install the software each time the source has been authorized, unless the installation source is removed. This is the same strategy as iOS.

However, the operating logic of different vendor systems is not the same. On Samsung's TouchWiz, when an app is installed in an unlicensed source, the user can allow this unknown source to be installed, but the global setting "Do not allow unknown source installation" is not changed. This allows the installation to be allowed and no more "over the hill" back to the security Settings screen to enable the installation limit again (the phone will lose protection if it is not enabled).

Bring your own calendar vibrate tips

Android's own Google Calendar is good, the only drawback is that the vibration tips are almost imperceptible. If I set up a night 6 o'clock to remind me of dinner. By the time the phone does not open the bell, by 6 o'clock in the evening, the Google Calendar will only vibrate for less than a second.

Such a vibration that is not obvious can easily be missed. Notice that applications such as SMS will vibrate at least twice. Regular users set up calendar reminders only when the event is important. This is not as good as the "mosquito called" the obvious vibration hint is a delay.

Allow custom Home screen search bar

Every time you open a native Android phone, you'll notice a big "Google search bar" at the top of the screen (pixel series at the bottom). Why can't you just let the user customize the search bar? I can change the default search engine to Baidu in the Chrome browser. And not only can not be changed, it can not be removed from the screen.

Write a picture here to describe how the application opens

There are many third-party custom Android apps that have multiple (dual) features, such as Miui's "app Fen". Although some of the applications are not good, and they are also very power-consuming, they are better than none.

With regard to other function points, Android p will prohibit the background app from calling the microphone, camera and other permissions to interfere with privacy, and haiping Liu Optimization added to the native call recording function. Previous News Online that Android p release time will be on May 8 this year's I/0 conference to update the iteration, until the fall of the pixel mobile phone conference will be expected to launch a formal version.
