what's going on everybody Robert Rosen fell from TechnoBuffalo here and I'm here in sunny Mountain View California here at Google i/o 2018 you might not be able to tell from this little reclusive shelter here but the i/o keynote just wrapped up and we found some shelter a little safe haven so we can have a quiet place to kind of chat about Android peek and of course at the keynote we heard the buzz words I heard about AI and machine learning and deep learning but really the whole message here at Google was trying to talk about was being able to use those really powerful tools to allow us to have a better mobile experience so on Android P were able to do things that we often do in our phones more quickly and basically just better disconnect and keep those times we want the phone out of our life completely out and when we want it better engage and do things faster so let's talk about the five features that we are most excited about in Android paper so feature number one is this new digital well-being dashboard and Google spent a lot of time talking about this and how they can use on the phone machine learning to basically understand what you're doing on the phone what apps are spending your time in what services you're using to basically give you a breakdown in this dashboard of where your time is being spent you can see what after spending a lot of time and maybe you're using Facebook an Instagram a lot you can see how many notifications are getting how often you're unlocking your phone and maybe just glancing at it the dashboard really gives you a better understanding of how you're using your time on your phone to make better decisions maybe you notice that you have a little bit of a newsfeed problem you can set an app timer on there to kind of nudge you in the right direction after let's say an hour two hours in that app - hey maybe it's time to get off your phone go do something else and eventually that app will be grayed out after you've hit that time limit kind of reminding you that hey you used your time allotted for this app for the day why not do something else kind of pushing you out and getting you to do more things this whole dashboard is really about that idea of understanding where your time is going on your phone making better decisions and kind of getting a grasp on your digital behavior specifically under Android peafowl all right feature number two we are very excited about an Android P adaptive brightness and adaptive battery let start with brightness first how many times during the day are you constantly adjusting that toggle for the brightness of your screen auto brightness just never seems to get it right for me and it's probably the case for you as well so you're constantly manually having to adjust that with this new adaptive brightness feature basically the AI in the phone learns what you have the brightness set out in a certain place a certain time so you can automatically make those adjustments for you kind of a smarter auto brightness also number two with adaptive battery the AI in the phone is again using its powerful machine learning technology to understand what apps you're using what services you're using and better shift the battery and the phone's resources over to what you're using so basically they said they would have put the batteries juice into the apps and services you're using and not wasting them or just kind of a broad overall sense of every little task running on the phone all right feature number three we are excited about and that is the whole idea of gestures built in natively supported on Android P we can heard that and repeat might be taking some features from the iPhone 10 and this is one case where we're gonna see those features translate over and the gestures on Android P work very similar to that on the iPhone 10 you can swipe up from the bottom to be able to get kind of a multi split multitask window where you can jump between different apps the cool thing about how this works on Android P though is that you're able to interact with the different apps while they're in this multitask state so if you want to copy and paste from one app to another made me from a website to email you can do that simply easily and without having to go back and forth between different apps if you want to swipe up again you can get a full list of all the apps on your phone to go home it's simply you just press down on that little pill icon that gesture area on the bottom to go home and it also has the ability to swipe left and right to get kind of a quicker more efficient apps which are kind of like on the iPhone 10 so if you want to switch any apps quickly from the left on the right you can do that as well feature number for wind down now how many times do you guys spend laying in your bed browsing through Reddit or maybe watching a checkered Buffalo video on YouTube and more time passes then you might realize it happens to me all the time Google is trying to fix that on Android P with a new feature called window essentially what it's gonna do is you're able to kind of put in what time you want to go to bed and the phone will kind of prompt you and remind you hey it's time to go to bed it's time to you know put the phone down and go to sleep eventually turning the entire phone screen great skill so everything is basically my shade of gray almost black and white in a sense that's really going to try to get you to put that phone down make you not want to use it and good a good night's rest alright round out this list feature number five on Android pee we're very excited about uses new feature called shush it's basically a more seamless way of turning on Do Not Disturb of course if do not disturb is that mode where you can silence notifications not get any phone calls basically allows you to put your phone down to be disconnected and not get bothered unless an emergency is occurring from a family member or friend this works basically the same way but let's say you're at a dinner party or you're out with your friends and your phones on the table and it's going off instead having to pick up the phone you know fiddle around with settings and turn out to not disturb you can literally just put the phone screen facedown on the table and it'll activate the shush mode which basically is do not disturb your phone won't vibrate and nothing's gonna go off nothing's gonna ping and unless you get a call from someone in your emergency contact list or specific contacts that you set the phone is not going to make a sound really again following this initiative of being more present and being less connected to your smart device alright guys so that's kind of an overview the top five features of Android p.m. really curious after watching the key know obviously if you heard a lot about this digital world being and Google really pushing this digital initiative to get us off of our smart phones off of our computers and tablets and really more connected and present in the real world really kind of touching on this issue but maybe we're a little bit more addicted to our smartphones and we might have bought it what do you guys think leave a comment down below anything else you saw that was cool here at i/o 2018 leave a comment down below let us know and we'll have of course full coverage on everything happening here as well as more Android pee goodness especially also when we get the actual name for what Android P stands for we'll have that all and more at TechnoBuffalo com thanks much for watching this video guys I am Robert Rosenthal from TechnoBuffalo see in the next one
