welcome everyone I'm Ricky from Tech Talk and today is a basics video just
showing you how to update to Android 10 so for me very luckily I've got a pixel
3a and a pixel 3a XL the Android 10 is now available to
download it's also available to download on all current pixel devices and then
obviously when the pixel 4 launch is it will come with pre-installed software so
Android 10 finally drops the names of the desserts they couldn't think of one
for Android cube and we've just gone through the numbers now Android 10
simple easy and let's see how easy it is to install the software step one of this
process is to make sure that you have backed up your device backed up your
photos backed up your documents or backed up your whole device itself you
can of course use the Google services to do this you can use the Google photos
and also you can use a Google Drive as well I've made sure that everything is
all backed up on my devices and they are ready to go also you'll need to know
that you have done all the latest software updates which include a
security patch so you'll do that first and then it will show you the actual
Google Android 10 installation option so to find this what you need to do is
swipe up we're good on going into settings in settings go to system in
system go to advanced and find at the bottom here we've got software update so
the tap on software update and it says system updates available introducing
Android 10 there we go you can see on both devices at my pixel 3 axl on the
left here pixel 3 a on the right it's got introduced in Android 10 so coming
down you have more information here which we're going to go through but also
Android 10 is available to download on these current phones Sony Xperia XZ 3
the huawei mate 220 Pro the LG G 8 the nokia 8.1 vivo NEX s1 plus 60 vivo NEX a
Oppo Reno yeah me me 9 the Zeus zenfone 5 set the real meet 3 Pro and the jammie
me mix 3 5 G+ others as well and I'll put a link in the description so you can
see which devices are available plus all current Google pixel devices all the way
from the first pixel device so on our display here let's have a look see what
it actually says it is introducing Android 10 new ways to customize your
phone control your privacy and get stun also it gives you a website here so
you can go and learn further information if you so wish to and then coming down
it's in about new features so new features include dark theme navigate
your phone with gestures additional controls for privacy and location quick
actions and replies in notifications and obviously you have your download size
here which is 1188 megabytes and then we can set that to download then you're
gonna click both here to scroll back up to the top it's gonna start to process
my download please make sure your device has significant battery as I said there
before we started please make sure you have backed up your device before
initializing the software update so both the phones have downloaded the
software now and it says to tap to restart so we're gonna restart our
devices to be honest it really didn't take that long to download and they're
not see the install process very quick and very easy to do but if you do have
any questions or if you are stuck at any point drop a comment down below and you
know as always I try and reply back to Neurath every comment I receive on the
channel if you haven't yet already seen my unboxings and my setup and also the
accessibility cluster a review on both these devices I'll leave links in the
description the 3a has completed first it's gonna ask for my code and 3 a exams
not too far behind and again it's going to ask for my code swipe it down it's
just saying here it's finishing system update you'll be the same on this device
as well like this one's all completed so now if we go into settings all the way
to the bottom go in the system we're going to about phone an Android version
Android 10 there we go you got Android 10 you hear the catholic
sort of vibrate in the background there android version 10 double tap this
android there we go i can move this around again a bit of fumbling so now
both of our devices are updated to Android 10 let's go through the key
features and I've noticed with the key features they've got a real good
precedent of talking about accessibility and actually really updating some great
options here for accessibility needs so the first one is live caption
automatically caption media playing on your phone with a sync
Tapp live caption automatically captions videos podcasts and audio messages even
stuff you record yourself without ever needing Wi-Fi or mobile data that's
really impressive the next option they want to talk about
is smart reply so take action right as you reply in Android 10 you can get more
than just a suggestive response to your messages you also get recommended
actions so if a friend asks you out to dinner
your phone will suggests you text like a thumbs up then it will also pull up
directions right in Google Maps this even works in other messaging apps again
this is another great accessibility option here which is called sound
amplifier so hear what's around you more clearly with sound amplifier your phone
can boost sound filter background noise and fine tune to how you hear best
weather talking to your best friends watching TV or listening to a lecture
just plug in your headphones and hear everything more clearly again a really
good feature here just in navigation is another option you're gonna see in
Android 10 so with the Google pixel devices we're so used to sort of gesture
controls anyway so swipe up will bring like this little option here you've got
your applications you can clear roll you can swipe all the way up here all of
your open applications obviously you can swipe to go left or right or you can
swipe to go backwards loads of different gesture control options obviously press
and hold in will not Google but plus with these devices you do have the
squeeze effect so what they're saying with other devices you can get around
with a swipe and a pull gesture and now quicker and more intuitive than ever go
backwards and forwards pull up the home screen and swipe to see your open
applications all a lot smoother actions so I'm looking forward to seeing that
when I get an Android device that is going to be running Android 10 that
previously didn't where it might have had the three capacitive buttons to the
home and back and the menu but now a gesture controls it's just going to be
so easy and simple to do when the pixel device is it is already
bad easy to do so again another great option here that a lot of people have
asked for on multiple different devices and with finally saw it on iOS and we've
had it on Android for a while and that's dark theme so take it easy on your eyes
and on your battery Android it's new dark theme uses true black to keep your
battery alive plus it also changes how your google
apps look like calendar and photos so we go swipe up go to Settings here to
inside settings you do have a search option if we go down to display then go
into advanced already here dark theme got it just basically so much easier to
read for me personally it's awesome so coming home as you see our google bar
has changed here compared to here so if I swipe up here show you my application
swipe up it just makes it so much different and so much more easy and
clearer for me to read to show my notification bars here you can see the
two differences and again this will work in different applications swiping to the
left here you've got the two different options but just makes it so much more
easier to read I'll say if you've got an AMOLED panel an OLED panel it's gonna
really save you your battery as well so the newest and game changing devices
foldable and 5g devices are only available on Android so you can get to
experience the latest and greatest features on devices that fold flex and
move faster than ever and this is so true so currently apple just released
their new phones no 5g they fold in device same iOS same sort of looking
devices Android is flexible that it can work on any device that may fold Bend
even huawei mate X I see it running Android there nicely on 5g devices such
as my Samsung S 10 5g that I've got currently the Xiaomi me mix three 5g
that I've looked at plus also other future new 5g devices that were
potentially seen from Google so it is ready the software is ready to just
manipulate and work on whatever device that you have that is capable of running
Android 10 currently at the moment we are very focused on our data and our
privacy keep your data private with more control with Android 10 you're in
control of your privacy that's because you get new smarter controls lets you
decide how and when data on your device is shared so you can rest easy which is
a really good thing the recommend going through changing your data and privacy
depending on what applications you use and obviously what websites you use so
talk about getting security updates faster which is really helpful Android
devices already get regular security updates and in android 10 you'll get
them even faster and easy with Google Pay system updates important
security and privacy fixes can now be sent directly to your phone from Google
pay the same way all your other apps update so you get these faster and as
soon as they are available which is really important because if you don't
have these security updates your banks may not allow you to use your cards in
Google pay and you might have issues using Google pay overall another thing
Google touched on during that IO vent was digital wellbeing quality time is
different for everyone for some it's unplugging on the weekends
for others it's spending hours video chatting with your best friend Android
10 gives you the tools to find that balance the next option is called focus
mode we've also seen this before on other devices like Zen mode from the 1
plus 7 & 7 pro series of device focus on what's in front of you forgetting in the
zone and blocking out distractions focus mode is now in beta and lets you select
apps to pause temporarily so if you want to turn off a distracting app to get
something done all you have to do is tap so we're looking to that and see how
well that works and make it more focused on our work that we need to do the next
option is talking about family link set digital ground rules and help make
healthy habits help guide your children as they learn play and explore online
you can set screen time limits view app activities manage apps and content
restrictions and see where they are that's really helpful for parents are a
little bit worried when they're maybe getting their first smartphone as you
know children these days I've been on a bus train plane traveling around the
world and I've seen people just bury their heads in phone and that includes
young children as well we do need to be worried that we're not just giving them
a device to make them quiet not just giving them a device to keep them happy
we need to engage with children and then engage in our world that's around us we
live in a beautiful place and we need to make sure that we're not living our
dreams on our phones but we're actually living our dreams on the world or
actually in so please make sure that you look a family link and actually Seck
around rules and sets or the limits and set time for your side to be a family
and set times to just enjoy being with each other and that is the key
highlighting features plus there are so many more
and what I'll do is I'm gonna go through the accessibility settings of Android 10
again in a separate video in looking to see what has actually changed from a
previous model to this model so I'm looking forward to seeing how well that
work if you have any questions about updating into Android 10 how it's worked
how well I'm doing with it on my pixel 3a and 3ax so please leave a comment
