00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,919
another year another new Android release and boy does time ever fly it seems

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:13,280
we've worked our way all the way down to q the 17th letter of the alphabet and

3
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:17,520
the first one that i can't think of a single dessert name for so if you guys

4
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:22,160
come up with something post it down in the comments please for now the official

5
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:26,400
name of the new mobile os from google will remain a mystery regardless of how

6
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:29,920
sweet sounding it ends up being though there should be a boatload of new

7
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:33,280
features to enjoy once it actually starts getting pushed out to our phones

8
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:39,040
so let's have a look at some of the highlights grabbing and sharing a screenshot has

9
00:00:36,239 --> 00:00:43,920
been easy for years but it's been a lot trickier to actually record what's

10
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:47,520
happening on your screen if you need to send a video of something funny or

11
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:52,640
instructional now apple has supported screen recording

12
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:54,960
natively since iOS 11 but on Android

13
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:59,600
we've had to rely on third-party apps well no more Android q will feature a

14
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:03,039
native option to capture your display now it's unclear whether you might have

15
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:08,479
to go into the developer options to enable it or not but either way it

16
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:13,280
should be a very useful feature another very overdue change is the

17
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:17,040
ability to alter accent colors now i personally don't think there's

18
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:21,840
anything displeasing about the default blue but Android q will let you change

19
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:26,479
key ui elements to black green and purple in the beta and there might be

20
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:30,400
more colors on the way also if you don't like the new school circular icons for

21
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:34,400
apps and whatnot you can switch them back to rounded squares or even

22
00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:38,159
teardrops if that tickles your fancy speaking of fancy if you've ever wanted

23
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:42,880
to use certain Android services on your desktop because you strongly prefer a

24
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:47,360
keyboard to mashing your sausage-like fingers against a little tiny screen

25
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:51,680
Android q is going to make that a bit easier by providing a desktop mode

26
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:55,759
natively so if you connect your phone to a monitor you'll get an interface that's

27
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:59,680
much more mouse and keyboard friendly so that you can finally use chat snap

28
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:03,439
without tons of spelling errors or at least without the unintentional

29
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:07,280
ones perhaps the most useful feature though

30
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:12,080
will be how Android q lets you share your wi-fi connection quickly and easily

31
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:16,560
i'm sure many of you are familiar with the hassle of having a friend over and

32
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:20,160
they ask for your wi-fi password and you don't remember because it's been 18

33
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:23,280
months since you typed in your own bloody Wi-Fi password and then you gotta

34
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:27,360
go find that convoluted string of characters and they're gonna check back

35
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:33,120
well that sucks but Android q can just display a special

36
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,959
qr code that another phone can scan to

37
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:38,879
instantly connect to the same wi-fi network no messy passwords required if

38
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:43,440
you're one of those people who doesn't think wi-fi passwords are that complicated and your concerns are more

39
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:47,920
with the camera though you might like this one Android q is going to have

40
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:52,959
built-in support for a picture format called dynamic depth which will map out

41
00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:58,720
what it believes is the proper depth information for whatever the camera sees

42
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:04,800
so that apps can produce more and better bokeh effects as well as even 3d images

43
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:09,519
on supported hardware finally if you're extra exclusive and you have a foldable

44
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:14,720
phone Android q will provide better native support for these devices

45
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:16,800
including allowing two apps to run side

46
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:20,720
by side when the phone is unfolded with instant switching when you fold it back

47
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:24,560
up and of course there are a host of smaller extras too if you slide down the

48
00:03:22,959 --> 00:03:27,920
notification tray you'll see that the battery indicator will give you an

49
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:31,280
estimated time when your battery will die so you won't have to just rely on a

50
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:35,920
percentage privacy gets an overhaul with Android q

51
00:03:33,519 --> 00:03:40,000
allowing you to specify exactly when apps can use information instead of

52
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:44,640
constantly sharing data like your location in the background and they've

53
00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:49,040
added easier access to relevant settings without having to leave the app that

54
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:53,280
you're using so in summary q is shaping up to be a nice little update to make

55
00:03:50,959 --> 00:03:58,799
your device quite a bit more interesting which is all the more reason that i hope

56
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,959
it doesn't end up standing for quiche

57
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:04,720
i mean i like a good quiche but it ain't dessert

58
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:10,080
speaking of dessert the dessert for this wonderful meal of tech wiki is this
