1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,680
android uh

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:10,800
quick uh quick quick bits

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:14,719
no nevermind that's stupid and apparently google agrees because as

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:20,080
of the latest release alphabetized dessert names are out and everyone's

5
00:00:17,279 --> 00:00:24,240
favorite number is in android 10 seems to be a significant step for google's

6
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:31,359
mobile os in the same way that windows 10 was for microsoft a way to flesh out

7
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:32,960
refine and unite some of the disparate

8
00:00:31,359 --> 00:00:37,520
ideas that have characterized the platform so far while giving themselves

9
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:41,840
more flexibility in the way that they provide future updates

10
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:46,559
so with the full fat version having finally rolled out to pixel devices oh

11
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:50,640
this is great the top news when i swipe over this way android 10 is a terrible

12
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:53,600
bug that can't be fixed uh and select other phones i guess that's why they

13
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:59,359
don't just send it out to everybody all at once there are loads of new features and ui

14
00:00:56,719 --> 00:01:04,640
changes to checkout however as you and i are about to discover calling this the

15
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:09,439
full fat version might be slightly inaccurate get a brand new virtual

16
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:13,760
credit card number each time you use it when you shop with privacy click the

17
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:18,479
link below and get five dollars off your first purchase it's basically free money

18
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:20,880
it is free money let's kick off with the big stuff

19
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:26,320
dark mode as we noted in our video back in january

20
00:01:23,119 --> 00:01:29,040
android has had a pansy half-assed dark

21
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:34,799
theme for a while which darkened the notification shade and

22
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:38,320
some apps to a dark grey in android 10

23
00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:40,720
that gets cranked up to 11 or

24
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:44,880
well 10 at least the background of the notification shade

25
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:49,280
and the settings app are now completely black which means that if you're using

26
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:53,920
an oled screen those pixels will be off for a clean look and some battery

27
00:01:51,119 --> 00:02:00,399
savings and while other built-in apps like messages calendar clock chrome and

28
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:04,960
the google feed are still dark gray they actually respond properly to the system

29
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:08,879
level theme now which you can toggle directly from the quick settings menu

30
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:12,560
we're all huge fans of dark mode around here and while there is always room for

31
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:17,920
improvement we actually think they've done a pretty good job of it

32
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:20,879
next up is the new gesture controls

33
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:25,280
and they're from ios google says that they developed these

34
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:29,360
gestures based on research and

35
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:33,519
innovative android partners and i suppose that is possible but at

36
00:02:32,239 --> 00:02:38,800
the end of the day android tens gestures do away with the

37
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:44,000
pill software home button and work just like the ones on apple's latest iphones

38
00:02:41,519 --> 00:02:48,480
so you swipe up to go home swipe up and hold to access the app

39
00:02:46,239 --> 00:02:52,480
switcher and slide along the bottom to cycle through your recent apps

40
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:57,120
in android pie a quick swipe on the bottom would switch between your two

41
00:02:54,800 --> 00:03:01,760
most recent apps while swiping and holding would cycle through the rest

42
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:07,200
kind of like alt tab on the desktop but that is gone in android 10 in favor of

43
00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:12,400
swiping individually now as for that staple of android the back button back

44
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:18,480
functionality is now handled by a swipe from either edge of your device so

45
00:03:15,519 --> 00:03:23,519
self pause rejoice google says that in their tests users rated the new gestures

46
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:28,319
higher than the other navigation methods and were able to perform tasks

47
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:32,720
particularly one-handed tasks more quickly with most people reporting that

48
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:37,599
after a break-in period of one to three days they didn't want to switch back to

49
00:03:34,959 --> 00:03:40,799
the three-button setup as for our pixel users here in the office

50
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:48,400
great shirts guys lttstore.com yeah nice of course the

51
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:53,440
beauty of android is its customizability so if the notion of having anything in

52
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:56,799
common with icky ios makes you uneasy or if you just plain don't like change

53
00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:00,799
android 10 thankfully allows you to choose between the new gestures the

54
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:05,200
previous android pie gestures and even the og three button navigation bar

55
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:10,640
another really cool looking new feature is live caption which can automatically

56
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:15,920
generate subtitles for any audio or video playing on your device locally

57
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:20,160
with no cloud connection required unfortunately it's not available at

58
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:24,240
launch even though it's listed as a major feature in the launch video and

59
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:28,639
the android website and even shows up in the recommended search results in the

60
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:31,360
settings menu but then just clicking it does nothing

61
00:04:29,919 --> 00:04:36,800
for now next up android 10 has upgraded digital

62
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:40,800
well-being so if you set an app timer the app switcher will tell you how much

63
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:45,680
time you have left on a given app family links controls that allow you to

64
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:49,919
set screen time limits view app activity manage content restrictions and see

65
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:54,880
where your family members are has gotten some upgrades and the new focus mode

66
00:04:52,320 --> 00:05:00,080
allows you to select apps to turn off which hides their notifications

67
00:04:57,919 --> 00:05:03,840
grays them out on the home screen and prevents you from opening them at all

68
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:08,080
all of this by tapping the button in quick settings android 10 also

69
00:05:05,919 --> 00:05:11,440
introduces some cool new accessibility options

70
00:05:09,039 --> 00:05:15,039
sound amplifier amplifies the sounds of the real world through your headphones

71
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:21,759
but the special thing here is that it's no longer an app but rather an integrated part of android and live

72
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:25,919
transcribe is basically a text to speech app that provides subtitles for real

73
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:30,479
life and certain bluetooth enabled hearing aids can now also be used to

74
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:33,680
play audio allowing them to double as wireless earbuds

75
00:05:31,919 --> 00:05:38,400
that's pretty cool now our last big feature that we have to

76
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:44,240
mention is android 10's greatly expanded privacy controls it's obviously a huge

77
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:49,199
issue in 2019 particularly when it comes to google services so it makes sense

78
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:52,560
then that android now has a dedicated privacy section

79
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:56,400
in the settings menu one of the big things here is the

80
00:05:54,320 --> 00:06:00,479
expanded app permissions options particularly for location access so now

81
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:04,800
you can choose whether an app tracks your location all the time

82
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:08,880
none of the time or only while you're using it this is a great way to avoid

83
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:12,560
worrying about whether that flashlight app you downloaded is logging your every

84
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:16,639
move there's also some consolidation that went on here so you've got things

85
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:20,319
like web plus app activity and ad personalization these just link directly

86
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:23,600
to your google account so it's nice to have all that stuff in one place all

87
00:06:22,479 --> 00:06:27,600
right so here's the part where we acknowledge all

88
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:31,440
the other new features that we really have to mention but there isn't a ton of time to go deep

89
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:35,680
into so here we go in settings wi-fi networks

90
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:41,120
you're connected to will now have scannable qr codes and visible passwords

91
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:44,960
so that you can show them to others so they can instantly connect

92
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:48,000
it's a freaking life changer for me i love that

93
00:06:45,919 --> 00:06:52,240
smart replies and notifications will now include contextual actions so there

94
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:56,000
might be an option to open maps when someone messages you an address

95
00:06:54,319 --> 00:06:59,919
long pressing notifications will give you an option to set it to alerting or

96
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:06,400
silent silent notifications will then be separated when you drag from the top

97
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:10,479
music or video apps will have a timeline in their notification that you can scrub

98
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:13,840
through that's kind of nerdy and cool but

99
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:17,360
yeah highlighting text now has haptic feedback giving you little vibrations

100
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:21,199
hopefully good ones and when you're connected to bluetooth

101
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:24,400
audio devices you can switch between different outputs via the pop-up volume

102
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:29,039
menu freaking thank you

103
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:33,680
like that okay this has driven me absolutely nuts

104
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:36,960
at times because sometimes my car does this weird thing where it's like i

105
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:42,720
turned it off but like the door isn't open yet and it does it still grabs my

106
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:44,960
audio but the car stereo is off so it's

107
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:49,919
just going nowhere so having a manual switch that i can quickly access to flip

108
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:53,440
over to my handset would be great thanks

109
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:57,840
let's carry on holding the power button will bring up an extra emergency button

110
00:07:55,599 --> 00:08:01,599
to make calls and edit your emergency medical information the battery

111
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:05,520
indicator will display the estimated time of depletion when you pull down the

112
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:09,919
notification shade the most recent notification gets a little bell on it so

113
00:08:07,759 --> 00:08:12,479
you can know which one came in last but again

114
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:16,479
thank you that is so annoying when like okay i'll

115
00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:21,199
get this thing from my garage door that goes hey i've been open for 10 minutes

116
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:25,680
sweet and my phone buzzes but that notification has no time stamp and

117
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,400
always seems to get buried under a bunch of other stuff and then i'm like i'm

118
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:33,839
just looking at this like why did my phone go off you can customize the system accent

119
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:38,560
color in the developer options now you can allow apps to use facebook messenger

120
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:43,680
style bubbles bluetooth devices will be more easily differentiated by colors and

121
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:47,200
the built-in android game is pick cross pie cross

122
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:53,120
pick cross this time neat so so far the story has been pretty

123
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:56,080
good but you could argue that each new

124
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:59,600
addition makes android 10's omissions more apparent

125
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:03,920
earlier versions of the android q beta had a built-in screen recorder something

126
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:08,720
that's been on ios for years but that has been removed from the public release

127
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:13,360
now leaks also pointed to a desktop mode in android q and it is actually

128
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:17,200
accessible in the developer options but uh it is

129
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:22,320
super bare bones and calling this a feature would be charitable at best and

130
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:25,440
to add insult to injury android beam is gone

131
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:30,160
it it's just gone now google is most likely to continue to

132
00:09:28,399 --> 00:09:34,959
flesh out the screen recorder and the desktop mode so we'll probably see those

133
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:38,800
return in future updates which should be coming thanks to one more really cool

134
00:09:37,519 --> 00:09:43,360
thing i want to talk about that they're calling project mainline basically

135
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:46,399
project mainline is a framework for rolling out

136
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:50,880
smaller more modular updates to android devices

137
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:55,120
through the play store rather than waiting around for device oems and

138
00:09:53,360 --> 00:10:00,959
carriers like your samsungs and your att's of the world to

139
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:03,600
hand craft their own special version of

140
00:10:00,959 --> 00:10:07,519
a security or feature patch and then give it to you

141
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:11,519
whenever as long as you happen to be in the correct country and have the correct

142
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:16,320
sim in your device haha so that sounds great

143
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:21,519
but it does have a small problem in order for project mainline to get into

144
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:24,800
full swing google's users need to get

145
00:10:21,519 --> 00:10:27,680
out there and update to android 10.

146
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:32,800
so with android's track record on getting their users updated i figure

147
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:34,480
we're looking at uh

148
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:41,360
shoot where's my uh where's my phone can i get my phone back don't have a watch

149
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:43,120
i don't know let's say that 20 20 25 for

150
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:47,600
widespread adoption you know what i'm gonna set a reminder and i'll update you

151
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:54,800
guys on how that's going okay cool remind me in

152
00:10:49,079 --> 00:10:54,800
2025 to check in on uh project mainline

153
00:10:55,120 --> 00:11:00,880
reminders are currently not available for g suite users

154
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:05,519
oh right i can't do that uh so this has nothing

155
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:08,560
to do with android 10 but if there's anyone who works at google still

156
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:14,399
watching this video fix your sh um as a paying g suite customer i

157
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:18,800
actually paid quite a lot of money for all of our users i can't have basic

158
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:21,760
functionality like the ability to set reminders

159
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:26,640
randomly turning off maybe you can get someone from the hangouts team to swoop in and get that

160
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:30,480
sorted they certainly don't have anything to do these days
