Search giant Google has officially released the first preview of its
next major version of Android mobile operating system, in what has recently become a standard way to allow developers and Android enthusiasts have an early look at the new features and APIs before they are finalised and pushed to consumers sometime later this fall.
Android Q, as it's called, comes with
improved privacy controls - an iOS-like permission pop-up that enables users to give apps permission to see their location never, only when the app is in use (running), or all the time (when in the background), faster
Share menu, wider adoption of
Product Sans font, native
screen recording, redesigned
Files app, limited support for
dark mode (enabled only via
Android debug bridge), capabilities to connect and share
Wi-Fi networks using QR codes,
font customisation, and native support for foldable phones. As with any beta, expect the new features to be subjected to change and further refinement as Google iterates them through
over the course of next five months.
