hey everyone I'm Mike Symon I'm from PC world and I'm here at Google i/o where
they just introduced a new preview of Android pee and I got a phone running it
now and I'm gonna take you through the best feature it's right here nice well
what are you gonna show us first so there's three that are three features
that are kind of new the first thing you'll notice when you swipe down for
the notification shade looks different we got some rounded corners and some
some more definition between the quick settings and the notification panel
quick settings are now a little bit more pronounced as there's blue when they're
on there they're clear when they're off and you can just like before swipe down
and get a list what about the over here like the other screen click the settings
you got there oops sorry oh that was that was a
mistake well we'll get to later oh yeah is there any new settings because that
looks the same and Verico is itis a veneer but ya know they look all about
the same okay as far as the options it's mostly just a visual change mostly just
a visual change it's a little cleaner and a little clearer to see what's on
and what's off yeah so a couple of changes they made to this
the Do Not Disturb button right now it's off so you can see all of your
notifications that turn it on and bang they're gone so don't get any note of
kids right if you get these three buttons here they set up this too to
show you notifications so if you press one of those it sends one but you're not
gonna see it until you turn that off and there's your new one of those is new it
says now I'm not sure which one so if everything's still there everything is I
can't see it so it's like just shuts down the phone also a new setting when
you put your phone down face down and automatically turns that on so you
you know won't be kind of inundated with messages because if they're just
assuming if you put it facedown you don't want to look at your phone so
that's that's just so just a fun little setting I like that so okay now I just
did that by accident but that's another new setting of the volume you put it up
and it automatically controls the media first oh perfect so you won't be
lowering and raising your ringtone but you don't want to do it which is
something that we do all the time but what if you want to do change your
ringtone was a little setting button click on that gear and there you go
you've still got your three options ring but when you see if you can see media is
the one that's that's the primary one the high-level one so you know nine
times out of ten probably nine and a half times out of ten you want to lower
the volume on a video or something so just press down and Nashville you're
controlling so that that's awesome so you can't get the three sliders in
the notification shade anymore huh I don't see it yeah and I don't see it he
really you get you gotta press that okay go into the sound settings but at least
four it looks like four phone there's at least a toggle between vibrate bring it
up and then there's a toggle right right up here you can click on vibrate click
that for no and that's the regular ringer okay also if you get though
there's a there's a new little um gesture if you want to just turn on
silent mode you hold down the volume down and the power button or power-ups
volume up in power and that turns on
vibrate vote so that says you have to volume on and you just want to quickly
turn it off instead of a mute switch like like the iPhone has into 1 plus
house so you just press volume up + power I think it let me let me just
double check their volume down in power so okay so but will it is it still isn't
volume down and power screen screen show yeah um I still hold it a little bit
longer in the guy 3 Chuck doing quick and you'll get a let me just try that
one more time hold on no you're right it is oh there
you go oh call your mom and volume down in
power still it's great job nice I see you want to keep sliding out though or
you got to get used to I gotta get used to this but rusted I'm use it on the
iPhone 10 and as you I'll show you in a minute it's quite a bit different from
the way the two things function it's still a button yeah so this we're on if
you use an iPhone 10 and has a home indicator you can't press it you have to
gesture this is still a button if you want a system you hold it down and you
know it brings up that and if you want to go back to the home you president and
it brings up brings goes back to that as well well it looks like it still has a
contextual back when you when you need it when you need it yes so and sure so
if you're in Chrome or something to get back here which is something you don't
get on I if you if there is a screen to go back to yeah it will bring up the
back button but the recent button is off and these are all customizable there's a
there's a Desilu of preference pane and settings where you can turn on the the
the new gesture based navigation if you don't like e you can go back to the old
one with the recent button the back button and the regular circular homeland
oh nice so this is the new home you know this this new elongated home button so
if you want to get to your recent apps there's no more reasons the square
button so you kind of just push up on it it brings you right to your just once
brings it right to your recent apps which are now horizontal instead of
vertical and you just scroll through you pick the one you want and there you go
to get back to home you just press the button like you did before
so now you have to do two swipes to do to get to the to get to the rest of your
apps you do it again the trap drawer yeah one cool feature they have on this
is you can select text by long-pressing so if you just want to grab a piece of
text copy it and then move it over to here you can use those are actually
active windows so it's not just like a snapshot there's a live windows where
you can kind of click in there grab some text or search for something or whatever
you need to do and you know with that without jumping back and forth between
them three to meet all these apps what about the maybe try this girls all the
way back to something that's out of RAM maybe because I wonder if it has to be
loaded in RAM for that looks like it because you can't I don't see
yeah cuz if you try to if you try to actually move the screen okay so well
that that's the new quitting the same as before you just swipe up yeah but yeah
you can't get down anywhere so it's just kind of a it's like a kind of like a
dynamic screenshot almost interesting yeah so you know you can you can search
and I'm gonna bring up the oh just bring up the Google app and search what you're
looking for there what about the quick look at the the reason it's a little
swipe you thing oh yeah right that's that's cool so if
you're on like if you're in in chrome and you're looking at something if you
swipe it's the decison swiping it up it's five to the right into the left you
can actually just quickly scroll through your things and when you let go it
brings up what you are looking for so instead of doing this that and throwing
just quickly zoom zoom into an app that you that you want grab it and go it does
it only go back the last like five so that look like a limitation like I'm not
sure let's see how many are open your messages so if you go one two three okay
it looks like it's oh no no it's it's all there okay okay so if you just
interesting so you just you just have to do it as if you're doing a mouse so like
like when you reach the end you just kind of like little bit there yeah
interesting but it does it does go to all of them and as soon as you let go it
brings it in to where you were so what do you think you excited about the these
features yeah I dig gesture navigation I mean on the iPhone Chen it was one of my
favorite features I always I never liked the physical home buttons so I you know
gestures are something that I dig I wish it would have come earlier because
Android phones haven't had buttons for a long time just seemed a little overdue
very true but I'll take it now rather than never so yeah it's cool and then
you're gonna be doing some more in-depth looks at it well yeah I'm gonna I'm
gonna definitely take a look at it compared to the iPhone 10 see how things
are different what you can customize what you can customize but I definitely
seems like a great step in a direction that even if it's overdue it's it's the
right one awesome
