Google Android 10: The 5 Best New Features

Wired  

Google has just released the final version of its new operating system for Android phones. Though it’s been available as a beta release under the name Android Q, the new version is named … well, it has nothing to do with the letter Q. It’s just Android 10, which makes it the first time in 10 years that the mobile operating system doesn’t have a dessert-themed name. New Gesture Navigation Last year’s release of Android 9 included the most significant changes to the Android navigation bar since Android 4.0. Google explained the move by saying that Android users rely on the Back button 50 percent more than they do they Home button, so the company wanted to design this new Back feature to be in the most reachable places on the phone’s screen. In a briefing with WIRED, Google vice president of Android engineering Dave Burke said he believes that these new gesture controls make it a lot easier to use a smartphone with just one hand.
