ANDROID 9.0 Q: WHAT DO WE KNOW SO FAR?

Although Android Oreo is not yet on most devices, Google is already working on Android 9.0 P and some news is already known. Android 8.0 Oreo is just 1% of Android devices on the market, but the pace does not stop and Mountain View are already with the test versions of Android 9.0.

There is still a long way for Android 9.0 P to reach the phones, be it official and even have a nomenclature beyond its lyrics. However, we already know some features that will come with the operating system. Some, very interesting.

IT WILL HAVE SUPPORT FOR MULTIPLE SCREEN

The folding phones are coming and there are already some phones with dual screen as the ZTE Axon M  , so Google has been launched to support these phones. Everything seems to indicate that Android 9.0 P will have support for multiple screens and folding screens.

SUPPORT FOR NOTCH

This is the fashion features in recent months is the notch that has popularized iPhone and we already see in some phones. As we know, Google wants to support this top notch for Android terminals. The software will have implementations related to the famous notch.

ADVANCED VOLUME CONTROL

So far, if we move the volume of the phone the call is changed unless we are watching multimedia content. Now, the volume will have more advanced control and can be changed from the phone buttons in a simpler and more complete. Something very useful that was asked for a long time.

BETTER NIGHT MODE

Android P will have a true dark mode and will make it easier for developers to implement the mode for the applications they create. It is one of the most repeated complaints by users who want to save battery, for example.

IT WILL BLOCK MICROPHONE AND CAMERA

As we had weeks ago, Android P will allow access to applications in the background to the microphone and the phone’s camera . That way they can not spy on you without you noticing. When they are inactive they can not read our conversations, listen to us or take pictures without our permission.

WARNING IF YOU ARE RECORDED

If you are recording, Android P will warn you. Android P will include an alert that will inform all the people in the conversation that the call is being recorded at that time.

IRIS SCANNER

The iris scanner is already in many phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S9, for example. Android P will include native support for this type of scanner and thus improve the security of Android phones.

EDIT SCREENSHOTS

Finally we can edit screen captures as is already done, for example, in iOS 11. We will not have to use third-party applications to do so.

BLUETOOTH KEYBOARD AND MOUSE

We already told you a few days ago that with Android P you can use your keyboard and a mouse via Bluetooth and it will be very useful to manage the phone better.
