WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.919
another year another new Android release and boy does time ever fly it seems

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

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

00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:22.160
come up with something post it down in the comments please for now the official

00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:26.400
name of the new mobile os from google will remain a mystery regardless of how

00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:29.920
sweet sounding it ends up being though there should be a boatload of new

00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:33.280
features to enjoy once it actually starts getting pushed out to our phones

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

00:00:36.239 --> 00:00:43.920
been easy for years but it's been a lot trickier to actually record what's

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:47.520
happening on your screen if you need to send a video of something funny or

00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:52.640
instructional now apple has supported screen recording

00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:54.960
natively since iOS 11 but on Android

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

00:00:57.360 --> 00:01:03.039
native option to capture your display now it's unclear whether you might have

00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:08.479
to go into the developer options to enable it or not but either way it

00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:13.280
should be a very useful feature another very overdue change is the

00:01:10.720 --> 00:01:17.040
ability to alter accent colors now i personally don't think there's

00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:21.840
anything displeasing about the default blue but Android q will let you change

00:01:19.360 --> 00:01:26.479
key ui elements to black green and purple in the beta and there might be

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

00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:34.400
apps and whatnot you can switch them back to rounded squares or even

00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:38.159
teardrops if that tickles your fancy speaking of fancy if you've ever wanted

00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:42.880
to use certain Android services on your desktop because you strongly prefer a

00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:47.360
keyboard to mashing your sausage-like fingers against a little tiny screen

00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:51.680
Android q is going to make that a bit easier by providing a desktop mode

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

00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:59.680
much more mouse and keyboard friendly so that you can finally use chat snap

00:01:57.600 --> 00:02:03.439
without tons of spelling errors or at least without the unintentional

00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:07.280
ones perhaps the most useful feature though

00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:12.080
will be how Android q lets you share your wi-fi connection quickly and easily

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

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

00:02:18.720 --> 00:02:23.280
months since you typed in your own bloody Wi-Fi password and then you gotta

00:02:21.760 --> 00:02:27.360
go find that convoluted string of characters and they're gonna check back

00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:33.120
well that sucks but Android q can just display a special

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.959
qr code that another phone can scan to

00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:38.879
instantly connect to the same wi-fi network no messy passwords required if

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

00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:47.920
with the camera though you might like this one Android q is going to have

00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:52.959
built-in support for a picture format called dynamic depth which will map out

00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:58.720
what it believes is the proper depth information for whatever the camera sees

00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:04.800
so that apps can produce more and better bokeh effects as well as even 3d images

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:09.519
on supported hardware finally if you're extra exclusive and you have a foldable

00:03:07.200 --> 00:03:14.720
phone Android q will provide better native support for these devices

00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:16.800
including allowing two apps to run side

00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:20.720
by side when the phone is unfolded with instant switching when you fold it back

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

00:03:22.959 --> 00:03:27.920
notification tray you'll see that the battery indicator will give you an

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

00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:35.920
percentage privacy gets an overhaul with Android q

00:03:33.519 --> 00:03:40.000
allowing you to specify exactly when apps can use information instead of

00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:44.640
constantly sharing data like your location in the background and they've

00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:49.040
added easier access to relevant settings without having to leave the app that

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

00:03:50.959 --> 00:03:58.799
your device quite a bit more interesting which is all the more reason that i hope

00:03:55.760 --> 00:04:00.959
it doesn't end up standing for quiche

00:03:58.799 --> 00:04:04.720
i mean i like a good quiche but it ain't dessert

00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:10.080
speaking of dessert the dessert for this wonderful meal of tech wiki is this
