more fascinating. This new OS is an attempt to make your device more efficient,
more personal and easy to handle. Pie is delicious, and this Android Pie is
nonetheless. Here is why you will want to have this Pie:
Powerful lock screen
The New android pie lock screen is more
powerful than before. You can view weather, calendar events, meetings with time
on your lock screen in a single glance.
New look and notification bar
Just a swipe down to open notification tray
and settings. The panel gives you complete idea about your android phone. The interface
is lot more colorful now. Android is already ahead of iOS in terms of handling
notifications and settings. With this release it has added more features with
information in every notification. The previous features of Oreo are not
removed just added new.
New Navigation
This is one of the biggest change in
Android Pie. The old navigation button is no more there at the bottom and is
replaced by pill shaped icon. You can simply swipe up half to see your recent
applications and with full swipe up to open drawer. Right swipe to open the
last app you were using and tap to the pill shaped button to go back to home.
The new gestures really make phone easy to
use. The accessibility menu at the bottom of the screen offers bigger icons of
the common apps, notifications and screenshots.
Dark mode
The official dark mode is added in the
settings. Unlike before you can enable the dark mode instead of using the dark
wallpapers. This is really a nice add to the feature box as this is something
users were waiting for.
Advance screenshot
Press and hold the power button, tap
screenshot to take a screenshot. It is as simple as it could be however, the traditional
method of taking screenshots in android still works. In addition to this you
can edit the taken screenshot in the preview mode. Just after you take the
screenshot edit display will open in front of you and you can crop, highlight,
draw or delete your screenshot.
Lockdown mode
The new update has a lot to do for the
security of your phone. The new lockdown mode simple locks down your device
with a push. This mode allows you to unlock phone with finger print and voice
unlock.
To enable the lockdown mode, navigate to
settings>> security and location>>lock screen preferences>>
show lock down options.

This allows you to choose when you want to
rotate your screen. On the basis of orientation of your phone, you will be
prompted to choose if you want to switch to the mode from landscape too
portrait or vice versa.
Do not disturb
The do not disturb mode is much more
simpler now. You can customize the settings you want under the DND settings.

Multiple camera support
Android pie has developed similar
features like dual sight in latest Nokia devices. The feature isn’t inbuilt yet however developers
are developing third party application with these features and supported by
android pie.
Notch support
The notch support can be tested in
developer mode. As top notch is already introduced in smart phones, but android
doesn’t support it well. Android pie will support cutout support which will
