At the I/O Developer Conference that opened earlier today, Google officially announced the Android P system. This update focuses on intelligence, simplicity, and allows users to enjoy a healthier digital life. What are the specific updates? Let's take a look together.
New gesture operation Optimize a full screen experience
Apple iPhone X uses a full screen design. To make up for the lack of Home keys, Apple has added a new gesture operation. Now that the full screen has become a trend in the industry, full screen design has even come to low-end models. Obviously Android is also the time Made a change.
You can see from the diagram that Android P's full screen gesture interaction experience is similar to that of iPhone X. Android P has a small navigation bar at the bottom of the interface. However, the slide is not returned to the home page. Instead, it opens the multitasking switching interface. The navigation bar is to return to the home page function, return to the previous step still need to click on the left back button. Then slide up once to open the application drawer, slide left and right to switch between applications.
Enjoy a Healthy Digital Life Start with Ringing App
Smartphones have become an important part of our lives. For many people, it is uncomfortable to brush down the news app every day without brushing a circle of friends. But without knowing that it takes a lot of time to brush up, it will take a lot of time. Google said that they found that more than 70% of people want to better manage their time spent on mobile phones. Google will help these users at the system level.
As shown in the figure, Android P has added a new control panel interface, which shows the user's daily use of the mobile phone, such as how many times the mobile phone is awakened each day, how much time is spent on an application and other valuable analytical data. Understanding your use behavior is a good start, but this is not the whole story of Android P. In the new system, users can set the time limit for each application. When the point is reached, the system will issue a reminder.
Android P also added a smart Do Not Disturb feature called 'Shush', which means that the system will automatically turn on the Do Not Disturb mode and turn off vibrations and other reminders when the user turns the screen down. It is also worth mentioning. Yes, you can also tell Google what time to sleep on your own. After time, the phone screen will turn gray to remind users that they should sleep.
I know you more and more. This is a real smart phone.
Now that artificial intelligence technology is very popular, Android P focuses on enhancing the artificial intelligence experience of the system. The first enhancement is the adaptive battery management function. This function is based on machine learning technology and can intelligently perceive your frequently used applications and less frequently used applications. After the analysis, the system will reduce the number of times that less-used applications will replace the CPU. The maximum number of CPUs can be reduced by 30%. At the same time, the system calls the small core to run the application.
More power
Another AI enhancement is reflected in the automatic brightness adjustment. The new adaptive brightness automatically sets the brightness based on the user's preferences, not just the data detected by the ambient light sensor. The system will automatically learn under which circumstances you are in Need lower brightness and higher brightness, eliminating the need for manual adjustment.
In addition, Android P also enhances situational prediction and adds a new feature called 'Application Behavior'. In short, this feature is also based on your usage habits and will automatically advise you under certain circumstances. The phone will automatically play music when you insert the headphones. When you are in the gym, the phone will play a sports song list.
Application prediction function
Android P has added some APIs for developers to use. For example, users can now directly access certain functions within an application through the system search function, such as taxiing, ordering, etc. The MLKit API can be used for cross-platform face recognition, Barcode scanning, smart reply and signpost detection, etc.
Censorship is simpler Android P user experience is more friendly
The last thing to mention is some smaller, but not intimate, features that make the system easier to use for new users. First, Android P simplifies the media volume adjustment. Now the user clicks on the volume button to call out the media volume by default. Volume, you can quickly switch between silent and vibrate modes with a separate button. It is also worth noting that all these volume sliders are not at the top of the screen, but are on the right side of the screen for easy one-handed control.
Second, the screen rotation function has been significantly improved. When you rotate the device, a knob appears on the screen. Click to make a corresponding rotation.
In addition, Android P's new gestures can choose to close, instead of using the traditional three button navigation bar. In addition, Android P also simplifies and improve a lot of interface operations, including the notification center, quick settings, screenshots and status bar, etc. Currently Android P also In the testing phase, Google may eventually expand or introduce more gestures to keep looking.
Push time
