The Apple of China, Xiaomi has grown to become one of the largest Chinese smartphone makers thanks to its persuasive and intelligent marketing & pricing schemes in India, China, and other markets. As of 2019, Xiredaomi and Google are working together by introducing two smartphones msigned up under Predroject Treble that allowed major Android updates to be sent via OTA including both beta and MTU updates faster than other smartphones.

Google introduced the next, 10th generation Android 10 at the Google I/O Conference 2019 earlier this year. Google has resorted to name its upcoming Android OSes with a numbering system i.e. Android Q is now known as Android 10 while its successors will follow the same numbering system as well. Since then, Google has pushed out a tonne of beta updates and finally, on September 3rd, it released an official stable update and was pushed out to Google Pixel devices and Essential Phones the same day.

Xiaomi makes some changes in the stock Android to club in with its own MIUI version before introducing it to all smartphones starting with Xiaomi Mi 9 and Mi Mix 3 5G as the first two candidates followed by others over a course of time that could extend a year depending upon the priority and eligibility of the smartphones while a lot of devices in the various Redmi and Mi series will be left out as they have run out of being supported with major updates.

Android 10 introduces some of the new features along with improvements over the last Android Pie 9.0 version such as improved navigation gestures, system-wide dark mode, native 5G support, native support to foldable displays. It will also have revamped the Digital Wellbeing feature that was announced back in Android Pie. It will also have Focus Mode that eliminates distractions and improves focus and more.

Android 10 Features

Live Caption: Got an audio message on Facebook or WhatsApp? Watching a video on YouTube or watching a movie with no subtitles? Well, Live Caption is at your service as it literally transcribes everything from video, audio, podcasts, audio recordings at real-time.

Sound Amplifier: Listening to your favorite music or watching a movie or talking to someone on call via wired headphones could be a task if you are in a crowded place. Well, with Android 10, you get amplified sound with excellent noise reduction feature that works really well.

Gesture-based Navigation System: Upgraded from the successors, the new gesture-based navigation system relieves screen real estate otherwise partially blocked by sliders and virtual buttons. The system uses the left & right edges to go back while the slick slider on the bottom can function a variety of functions such as taking you to the Home screen.

Foldable & 5G Ready: Android 10 brings both foldable & 5G technologies native to Android 10 as these two are the future of smartphones with millions of interested buyers ready to get their hands on these techs.

More Control over Privacy: Android 10 has always been more attuned when it comes to privacy as we saw in a few beta releases for months now. The OS gives the user a ‘Privacy’ section within Settings where everything from permissions to apps, activities, personal data can be controlled seamlessly.

Family Link: The Family Link gives sophisticated parental control over your child’s phone. You can set up their devices on your phone and check everything from app activities to usage, total screen time and other parameters. You can set up digital ground rules and everything within a native app.

Focus Mode: Don’t want that particular distracting app(s) buzzing at any time when you need to concentrate on your work? Focus Mode temporarily stops any apps that you add within the list so no more vibrations or sound or notifications. You can remove it once you are don’t with your work.
