The new version of Android(Android 11 beta) can now be downloaded for free on the Pixels, but perhaps you have to wait much longer for the rest.\u00a0These are our favorite benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Android 11 is available starting today as a downloadable beta version for Pixel 2, 3, 3a and 4 mobiles. Google delayed its launch after postponing its\u00a0online<\/em>\u00a0launch\u00a0due to the protests. The announcement should have been at the annual Google I \/ O event, but this was canceled by the coronavirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In any case, we already have a new version of Android to explore.\u00a0All you have to do is visit\u00a0their page\u00a0to register your mobile.\u00a0You have to have a compatible Pixel and be connected to the correct Google account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Google has introduced more changes than we expected but, as with\u00a0Android 10\u00a0,\u00a0Android 11\u00a0does not completely renew the operating system.\u00a0Android is now more mature and it seems that Google is betting now to present changes every year.\u00a0We have already tested Android 11 to show you the best new features that will come to Pixel phones at the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Google has also made\u00a012 new presentations\u00a0available to us\u00a0from some members of the Android team to find out what’s new this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The big question is to know when Android 11 will arrive for other important terminals, and if they will also have all these features. Knowing for sure that you will receive these software<\/em> updates is, in my opinion, the main reason to buy a Pixel. It is a pity that these mobiles are not available worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is new in Android 11?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Google breaks down the new features of Android 11. Below we discuss the most significant changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notifications and conversations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Notifications are now divided into three categories: Conversations, Alert Notifications, and Silent Notifications. This is checked in the notifications panel when you drag them down, and helps you prioritize them. The great change is found in conversations and how the subject of messages is approached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Facebook Messenger has been doing in recent years, you can put any type of conversation in a kind of floating ball, a feature that Google calls ‘Bubbles’. Now developers will have to build an API in their apps if they want this to work. Curiously, the Google Messages app itself does not support this feature, but you can with Facebook Messenger. Interesting but confusing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We like that you can assign a contact’s notifications as a priority. Their photo will appear in the status bar to show you that a message from them is waiting for you. They also appear on the lock screen and their alerts can even jump when you use ‘Do Not Disturb’ mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Music controls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Music and video controls are now in the notification panel.\u00a0Take up space, but you may be interested.\u00a0Oddly enough, in this beta version you will have to activate the developer options and then tap on ‘Media resume’.\u00a0The average user will find it difficult to find it, but we do not know if that will also be the case in the final version of Android 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
This change would aim to prevent the media controls from taking up a lot of space in the notification list as it happens in Android 10. If you have many conversations waiting, it is easy for other applications to go down the list. In any case, we prefer Google’s efforts to organize notifications compared to iOS’s chaotic and chronological list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Privacy and permissions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Android is particularly improving when it comes to asking you for permission to use your location data. When you use an app for the first time, there is a new option to allow location once, as with iOS 13. That’s fine if you need an app to access that information for a task but you don’t want it to always do it in the background. . Also, if you don’t use the app for a while, these permissions will be reset. Having this option will eventually convince you not to give permission to an app so that it can access your location all the time, and that’s great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Voice access<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The new, and best, accessibility feature in Android 11 is the improved\u00a0Voice Access\u00a0.\u00a0If you download the app and activate it in the accessibility settings you can control the Pixel with your voice much more easily than before.\u00a0The icons and buttons are marked with numbers and you can intuitively navigate the apps, send tweets,\u00a0scroll<\/em>\u00a0and much more using only your voice.\u00a0(Look at the Wizard dots at the top of the screen that tell you that your voice commands are being heard.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is very well done. Just by saying “Spotify” on my Home screen, I could access it and control it with the numbers. It is somewhat more complicated to write and send a tweet, but hopefully Android will improve it for those with more limited motor skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other changes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If you press and hold the power button, you are now shown a page that you can configure with shortcuts to your smart devices from the Google Home app. That means you can control the lights or speakers from there. Below you will also find an area with your credit and boarding cards so you can access them more easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The recent screen now shows three buttons (take a screenshot, share one, or select text) and you can have the Pixel app panel suggest apps to you, which sends your fixed apps on the first Home screen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
