WEBVTT

00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:03.680
Android uh

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:10.800
quick uh quick quick bits

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:14.719
no nevermind that's stupid and apparently google agrees because as

00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:20.080
of the latest release alphabetized dessert names are out and everyone's

00:00:17.279 --> 00:00:24.240
favorite number is in Android 10 seems to be a significant step for google's

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

00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:32.960
refine and unite some of the disparate

00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:37.520
ideas that have characterized the platform so far while giving themselves

00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:41.840
more flexibility in the way that they provide future updates

00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:46.559
so with the full fat version having finally rolled out to pixel devices oh

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

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

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

00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:04.640
changes to checkout however as you and i are about to discover calling this the

00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:09.439
full fat version might be slightly inaccurate get a brand new virtual

00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:13.760
credit card number each time you use it when you shop with privacy click the

00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:18.479
link below and get five dollars off your first purchase it's basically free money

00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:20.880
it is free money let's kick off with the big stuff

00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:26.320
dark mode as we noted in our video back in january

00:01:23.119 --> 00:01:29.040
Android has had a pansy half-assed dark

00:01:26.320 --> 00:01:34.799
theme for a while which darkened the notification shade and

00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:38.320
some apps to a dark grey in Android 10

00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:40.720
that gets cranked up to 11 or

00:01:38.320 --> 00:01:44.880
well 10 at least the background of the notification shade

00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:49.280
and the settings app are now completely black which means that if you're using

00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:53.920
an OLED screen those pixels will be off for a clean look and some battery

00:01:51.119 --> 00:02:00.399
savings and while other built-in apps like messages calendar clock chrome and

00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:04.960
the google feed are still dark gray they actually respond properly to the system

00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:08.879
level theme now which you can toggle directly from the quick settings menu

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

00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:17.920
improvement we actually think they've done a pretty good job of it

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:20.879
next up is the new gesture controls

00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:25.280
and they're from iOS google says that they developed these

00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:29.360
gestures based on research and

00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:33.519
innovative Android partners and i suppose that is possible but at

00:02:32.239 --> 00:02:38.800
the end of the day Android tens gestures do away with the

00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:44.000
pill software home button and work just like the ones on apple's latest iphones

00:02:41.519 --> 00:02:48.480
so you swipe up to go home swipe up and hold to access the app

00:02:46.239 --> 00:02:52.480
switcher and slide along the bottom to cycle through your recent apps

00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:57.120
in Android pie a quick swipe on the bottom would switch between your two

00:02:54.800 --> 00:03:01.760
most recent apps while swiping and holding would cycle through the rest

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

00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:12.400
swiping individually now as for that staple of Android the back button back

00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:18.480
functionality is now handled by a swipe from either edge of your device so

00:03:15.519 --> 00:03:23.519
self pause rejoice google says that in their tests users rated the new gestures

00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:28.319
higher than the other navigation methods and were able to perform tasks

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:32.720
particularly one-handed tasks more quickly with most people reporting that

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

00:03:34.959 --> 00:03:40.799
the three-button setup as for our pixel users here in the office

00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:48.400
great shirts guys lttstore.com yeah nice of course the

00:03:45.920 --> 00:03:53.440
beauty of Android is its customizability so if the notion of having anything in

00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:56.799
common with icky iOS makes you uneasy or if you just plain don't like change

00:03:55.200 --> 00:04:00.799
Android 10 thankfully allows you to choose between the new gestures the

00:03:58.640 --> 00:04:05.200
previous Android pie gestures and even the og three button navigation bar

00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:10.640
another really cool looking new feature is live caption which can automatically

00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:15.920
generate subtitles for any audio or video playing on your device locally

00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:20.160
with no cloud connection required unfortunately it's not available at

00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:24.240
launch even though it's listed as a major feature in the launch video and

00:04:21.840 --> 00:04:28.639
the Android website and even shows up in the recommended search results in the

00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:31.360
settings menu but then just clicking it does nothing

00:04:29.919 --> 00:04:36.800
for now next up Android 10 has upgraded digital

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

00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:45.680
time you have left on a given app family links controls that allow you to

00:04:42.960 --> 00:04:49.919
set screen time limits view app activity manage content restrictions and see

00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:54.880
where your family members are has gotten some upgrades and the new focus mode

00:04:52.320 --> 00:05:00.080
allows you to select apps to turn off which hides their notifications

00:04:57.919 --> 00:05:03.840
grays them out on the home screen and prevents you from opening them at all

00:05:02.080 --> 00:05:08.080
all of this by tapping the button in quick settings Android 10 also

00:05:05.919 --> 00:05:11.440
introduces some cool new accessibility options

00:05:09.039 --> 00:05:15.039
sound amplifier amplifies the sounds of the real world through your headphones

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

00:05:19.280 --> 00:05:25.919
transcribe is basically a text to speech app that provides subtitles for real

00:05:23.520 --> 00:05:30.479
life and certain bluetooth enabled hearing aids can now also be used to

00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:33.680
play audio allowing them to double as wireless earbuds

00:05:31.919 --> 00:05:38.400
that's pretty cool now our last big feature that we have to

00:05:35.840 --> 00:05:44.240
mention is Android 10's greatly expanded privacy controls it's obviously a huge

00:05:41.520 --> 00:05:49.199
issue in 2019 particularly when it comes to google services so it makes sense

00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:52.560
then that Android now has a dedicated privacy section

00:05:50.880 --> 00:05:56.400
in the settings menu one of the big things here is the

00:05:54.320 --> 00:06:00.479
expanded app permissions options particularly for location access so now

00:05:58.960 --> 00:06:04.800
you can choose whether an app tracks your location all the time

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

00:06:06.880 --> 00:06:12.560
worrying about whether that flashlight app you downloaded is logging your every

00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:16.639
move there's also some consolidation that went on here so you've got things

00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:20.319
like web plus app activity and ad personalization these just link directly

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

00:06:22.479 --> 00:06:27.600
right so here's the part where we acknowledge all

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

00:06:30.400 --> 00:06:35.680
into so here we go in settings wi-fi networks

00:06:34.080 --> 00:06:41.120
you're connected to will now have scannable qr codes and visible passwords

00:06:38.880 --> 00:06:44.960
so that you can show them to others so they can instantly connect

00:06:42.880 --> 00:06:48.000
it's a freaking life changer for me i love that

00:06:45.919 --> 00:06:52.240
smart replies and notifications will now include contextual actions so there

00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:56.000
might be an option to open maps when someone messages you an address

00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:59.919
long pressing notifications will give you an option to set it to alerting or

00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:06.400
silent silent notifications will then be separated when you drag from the top

00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:10.479
music or video apps will have a timeline in their notification that you can scrub

00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:13.840
through that's kind of nerdy and cool but

00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:17.360
yeah highlighting text now has haptic feedback giving you little vibrations

00:07:16.080 --> 00:07:21.199
hopefully good ones and when you're connected to bluetooth

00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:24.400
audio devices you can switch between different outputs via the pop-up volume

00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:29.039
menu freaking thank you

00:07:27.520 --> 00:07:33.680
like that okay this has driven me absolutely nuts

00:07:31.520 --> 00:07:36.960
at times because sometimes my car does this weird thing where it's like i

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

00:07:39.440 --> 00:07:44.960
audio but the car stereo is off so it's

00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:49.919
just going nowhere so having a manual switch that i can quickly access to flip

00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:53.440
over to my handset would be great thanks

00:07:51.440 --> 00:07:57.840
let's carry on holding the power button will bring up an extra emergency button

00:07:55.599 --> 00:08:01.599
to make calls and edit your emergency medical information the battery

00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:05.520
indicator will display the estimated time of depletion when you pull down the

00:08:03.280 --> 00:08:09.919
notification shade the most recent notification gets a little bell on it so

00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:12.479
you can know which one came in last but again

00:08:11.280 --> 00:08:16.479
thank you that is so annoying when like okay i'll

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

00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:25.680
sweet and my phone buzzes but that notification has no time stamp and

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

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

00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:38.560
color in the developer options now you can allow apps to use facebook messenger

00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:43.680
style bubbles bluetooth devices will be more easily differentiated by colors and

00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:47.200
the built-in Android game is pick cross pie cross

00:08:44.880 --> 00:08:53.120
pick cross this time neat so so far the story has been pretty

00:08:49.760 --> 00:08:56.080
good but you could argue that each new

00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:59.600
addition makes Android 10's omissions more apparent

00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:03.920
earlier versions of the Android q beta had a built-in screen recorder something

00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:08.720
that's been on iOS for years but that has been removed from the public release

00:09:06.160 --> 00:09:13.360
now leaks also pointed to a desktop mode in Android q and it is actually

00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:17.200
accessible in the developer options but uh it is

00:09:14.800 --> 00:09:22.320
super bare bones and calling this a feature would be charitable at best and

00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:25.440
to add insult to injury Android beam is gone

00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:30.160
it it's just gone now google is most likely to continue to

00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:34.959
flesh out the screen recorder and the desktop mode so we'll probably see those

00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:38.800
return in future updates which should be coming thanks to one more really cool

00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:43.360
thing i want to talk about that they're calling project mainline basically

00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:46.399
project mainline is a framework for rolling out

00:09:44.640 --> 00:09:50.880
smaller more modular updates to Android devices

00:09:48.640 --> 00:09:55.120
through the play store rather than waiting around for device oems and

00:09:53.360 --> 00:10:00.959
carriers like your samsungs and your att's of the world to

00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:03.600
hand craft their own special version of

00:10:00.959 --> 00:10:07.519
a security or feature patch and then give it to you

00:10:05.040 --> 00:10:11.519
whenever as long as you happen to be in the correct country and have the correct

00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:16.320
sim in your device haha so that sounds great

00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:21.519
but it does have a small problem in order for project mainline to get into

00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:24.800
full swing google's users need to get

00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:27.680
out there and update to Android 10.

00:10:24.800 --> 00:10:32.800
so with Android's track record on getting their users updated i figure

00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:34.480
we're looking at uh

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

00:10:37.680 --> 00:10:43.120
i don't know let's say that 20 20 25 for

00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:47.600
widespread adoption you know what i'm gonna set a reminder and i'll update you

00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:54.800
guys on how that's going okay cool remind me in

00:10:49.079 --> 00:10:54.800
2025 to check in on uh project mainline

00:10:55.120 --> 00:11:00.880
reminders are currently not available for g suite users

00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:05.519
oh right i can't do that uh so this has nothing

00:11:03.680 --> 00:11:08.560
to do with Android 10 but if there's anyone who works at google still

00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:14.399
watching this video fix your sh um as a paying g suite customer i

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

00:11:16.880 --> 00:11:21.760
functionality like the ability to set reminders

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

00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:30.480
sorted they certainly don't have anything to do these days

00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:36.240
