thanks for watching tech quickie click the subscribe button and enable notifications with the bell icon so you won't miss any future videos so what's your favorite dessert that starts with the letter P pecan pie peppermint pattie pop-tart well we don't know which one Google will pick for its newest mobile operating system codenamed Android P but we do know some of the features you'll be able to look forward to once it hits the phone in your pocket or the one you're looking to buy let's start with one of the things you're likely to notice as soon as you pick up your phone notifications Android Oreo introduced the ability to reply to a message directly from the solidification instead of opening the app fully but P will take this one step further showing images in line so if one of your friends is a narcissistic Instagrammer who keeps sending you photos of his or her dinner you can now feign excitement more quickly than ever and on the subject of images you'll now finally also be able to draw and mark up your screenshots if you want to call someone's attention to a certain part of the screen cab and you also get an option to take one just by holding down the power button if you don't like having to press down two buttons at once and certain apps can take better advantage of newer phones that have a dual camera setup enabling functionality like death detection and more realistic AR experiences the visual related changes don't stop there either if you stumble upon text that's a little too small to read comfortably there's now an iOS like lens zoom feature and there are a number of new system animations and visual accents so you might notice a bit more color on iOS I could use it like different sub menus in the Settings app but also a bit less and others battery saver for example still shows an icon letting you know what's on but it no longer turns to the top of the bottom of your screen that distracting shade of red and Android P also features smarter adaptive brightness now adjusting the backlight level based on typical usage patterns instead of relying solely on how the dim your surroundings are and speaking of battery saver let's move on and talk a little bit more about what's under the hood if you do like the power sipping mode you can now configure it to kick in earlier if your phone's battery is at the greatest but you shouldn't be spending as much time waiting around for your battery tasks to complete anyway since the usual tweaks to the run timer presence with Google hoping for fastest ever low times with minimal memory usage and while we're on the subject of making things quicker let's talk about gestural navigation God is the triangle circle square paradigm that Android users have gotten used to now Android pee has a single home button that you can tap hold or swipe to bring up your app drawer or recently use programs similar to iOS which Google is hoping will make it easier for users to bring up frequently used or currently running apps and if you ever get curious just how long you use those apps for Android pee provides a breakdown of app usage and how many notifications each one sends you allowing you to keep tabs on just how bad your additions to Netflix and snapchat really are now onto something a little more exciting Android pees indoor positioning feature this could come in handy the next time you're in a large indoor facility like a shopping mall or an airport you see the new Wi-Fi standard 802 dot 11 MC will be able to measure the trip time of your Wi-Fi signal to and from an access point which lets it triangulate your position indoors it does require hardware support but with the right device it could end up being a huge help if you really want a soft pretzel after a hard day of buying things you don't need like your phone with an iPhone style notch at the top now that Android P supports with it calls display cutouts for devices that don't have perfectly rectangular screens get ready to see a lot more phones trying to capitalize on this design fad and finally we'd be a bit remiss if we didn't talk about a rather important security tweak Android P no longer allows apps to access your camera or microphone in the background now although that's comforting news it really makes me wonder what they may have been watching or listening to up until now and it does nothing for the usual vast majority of Android users who will be left behind when Android P rolls out sometime later this year today's episode has been brought to you by iFixit you know they really like to take
