每年，谷歌(Google)都会更新他们的安卓操作系统，并将他们的新谷歌 Pixel(Google Pixel)手机推到一边。今年，我们预计 10 月将全面推出(October)Android Q。(Android Q)
对于某些设备，例如Pixel range，您将立即获得更新。其他一些设备稍后会得到它。让我们看一下当Android Q到达您的设备时您可以访问的所有顶级Android Q功能。(Android Q)
请记住，就像以前的主要 Android 操作系统更新一样，您现在可以下载Android Q的(Android Q)测试版(beta version)。我稍后会解释。让我们先来看看令人兴奋的新变化。
更好的主动边缘控制
这仅适用于Google Pixel所有者，但这是一个非常值得一看的改变。您是否曾经不小心打开了您的助手或通过用力挤压手机使手机静音？那是因为Active Edge已在您的手机上设置为在您挤压两侧时执行任务。
问题是，在当前的
Android实时版本中，很难获得正确的挤压灵敏度(right squeeze sensitivity)。包括我自己在内的许多人最终经常意外激活该功能。使用Android Q时，将在您挤压时播放一个新动画，以帮助您了解是否需要提高或降低灵敏度。
Android 跟随 Apple(Android Follows Apple)移除
返回和主页按钮(Back and Home Buttons)
Android将尝试推动用户移除Android Q中的后退按钮，以支持新的基于手势的控制系统(control system)。当您考虑它时，这是一个合理的变化。智能手机完全是关于屏幕与机身的比例(body ratio)，在底部有一个大屏幕导航栏(navigation bar)，这种体验破坏了。
因此，在Android Q中，您可以移除手势栏。您可以向上滑动以回家，滑动并按住以调出多任务处理，从左向右滑动将返回。
黑暗模式，无处不在的黑暗模式
谷歌(Google)终于实现了全系统的
黑暗模式(dark mode)，以帮助缓解眼睛的压力。这是官方的。这意味着不再需要下载第三方应用程序(party apps)，为每个单独的应用程序添加暗模式(dark mode)设置，并且当你不得不冒险进入一个不支持暗模式(mode support)的应用程序时眯起眼睛。
首先，这些更改仅适用于Android 系统和 UI(Android system and UI)，但正在引入新的API以使开发人员可以轻松创建自己的暗模式，因此预计大多数应用程序会在 Android 之后很快采用它Q的发布。
适用于任何媒体的新实时字幕
Android Q中新的实时字幕功能是(Live Caption feature)AI 和(AI and machine)基于机器学习的众多功能之一的结果。这是它的工作原理。如果您的手机上有任何媒体，无论是本地存储还是在线视频(video online)，Live Caption都会添加实时字幕。这有点像YouTube 上(YouTube)的自动字幕。因此，期望体验在大多数情况下都是准确的，但可能会在这里和那里存在一些不一致的地方。
无论哪种方式，它对于听障人士来说都是一个非常神奇的功能，甚至可以在离线模式下使用。在没有互联网帮助的情况下，所有转录内容都是在本地生成和显示的。
新的 UI 强调色选项
Android Q中的一个小而显着的变化允许您更改Android中所有 UI 图标的强调色(accent color)。例如，当您在通知面板中关闭和打开(notification panel)Wi-Fi等选项时。
颜色选项是有限的，但有很多可供选择，随着时间的推移，谷歌可能会添加更多。(Google)目前，能够从可用颜色中进行挑选是一种令人耳目一新的方式，可以为您的UI 体验(UI experience)增添一些不同。
新应用权限更改
为了让用户更好地控制他们的应用程序，
谷歌在(Google)Android Q中引入了新的系统范围的应用程序权限更改。从本质上讲，您将能够允许应用程序在请求时仅使用一次权限，而不是永久访问它。
而且您可以更好地控制授予应用程序访问手机上某些文件的权限，而不是授予对所有文件的访问权限。这是一个非常好的隐私和安全更改(privacy and security change)，它应该使应用程序更难在没有您明确许可(explicit permission)的情况下获取您的位置、您的详细信息或浏览历史记录。
如何下载 Android Q 测试版
尽管Android Q要到(Android Q)2019(October 2019)年 10 月才会推出
，但如果您拥有Google Pixel 设备(Google Pixel device)，您可以立即下载Android Q
Beta。请(Please)理解这是为开发人员设计的，如果您下载它，您可能会遇到错误和问题。我建议有一个备用设备，以防万一出现问题。
要获取Android Q 测试版(Android Q beta)，请在您的手机上按照以下步骤操作。
- 访问developer.android.com/preview/get
- 在 Google Pixel 设备上通过无线方式点击获取 Android Q Beta(Get Android Q Beta on a Google Pixel device over-the-air)
- 向下滚动(Scroll)到符合条件的设备，然后点击选择加入(opt in)
- 您的设备现在将被注册
- 稍等片刻，然后访问Settings > System > Advanced >
System updates
- 点击安装更新
这里的所有都是它的！更新的大小超过 1GB，因此请确保您的手机已插入充电并启用了 WiFi。
概括
至此，我们对Android Q最值得期待的功能的概述就结束了。当然还有更多功能需要发现，但此列表指出了我们目前所知的一些最佳功能。对Android Q(Android Q)有任何疑问或想了解更多关于Beta 访问(Beta access)的信息？如果您有任何问题，请告诉我，我会尽快为您提供帮助。
Top Android Q Features to Look Forward To
Every year, Google updates their Android
oрerating ѕystem and pushes their new Google Pixel handsets alongsidе it. This
year, we’re expеcting a full launch for Android Q in October.
For some devices, such as the Pixel range, you
will get the update immediately. Some other devices will get it a little later.
Let’s take a look at all of the top Android Q features you can expect to gain
access to when it arrives on your device.
And remember, just like previous major Android
OS updates, you can download the beta version of Android Q right now. I’ll
explain about that later. Let’s look at the exciting new changes first.
Better Active Edge Control
This will only apply to Google Pixel owners,
but it’s a very worthwhile change to see. Have you ever accidentally opened up
your assistant or put your phone to silent by squeezing your phone a little too
hard? That’s because Active Edge has been set up on your phone to perform tasks
when you squeeze the sides.
The trouble is, in the current live version of
Android, it can be hard to get the right squeeze sensitivity. Many people,
myself included, end up accidentally activating the feature more often than
not. With Android Q, a new animation will play as you squeeze to help you
understand whether you need to up or down the sensitivity or not.
Android Follows Apple by Removing
Back and Home Buttons
Android will try to push for users to remove
the back button in Android Q in favor of a new gesture based control system.
It’s a reasonable change when you think about it. With smartphones being all
about screen to body ratio, featuring a big on-screen navigation bar at the
bottom kind of ruins that experience.
So, in Android Q, you can remove the bar for
gestures. You can swipe up to go home, swipe and hold to bring up multitasking,
and swiping from left right will go back.
Dark Mode, Dark Mode Everywhere
Google has finally implemented a system-wide
dark mode to help relieve stress on your eyes. It’s official. That means no
more downloading third party apps, adding dark mode settings to each individual
app, and squinting your eyes whenever you have to venture into an app without
dark mode support.
To begin with, these changes will only be for
the Android system and UI, but a new API is being introduced to make it very
easy for developers to create their own dark modes, so expect the majority of
apps to adopt it very soon after Android Q’s release.
New Live Caption for any Media
The new Live Caption feature in Android Q is
the result of one of the many powers of AI and machine based learning. Here’s
how it works. If you have any media on your phone, whether it’s in local
storage or from a video online, Live Caption will add real time captions. It’s
a little like the automated captions on YouTube. So, expect the experience to
be accurate most of the time, but there may be some inconsistencies here and
there.
Either way, it’s a very magical feature for
the hard of hearing and it can even be used in offline mode. All transcriptions
are generated and shown locally without the help of the internet.
New UI Accent Color Options
A small yet noticeable change in Android Q allows you to change the accent color for all UI icons in Android. For example, when you turn off and on options like Wi-Fi in the notification panel.
The color options are limited, but there’s quite a few to choose from, and Google may add more over time. For now, just being able to pick and choose from the available colors is a refreshing way to add a bit of difference to your UI experience.
New App Permission Changes
To give users even more control over their apps,
Google is introducing new system wide app permission changes in Android Q.
Essentially, you’ll have the ability to allow apps to use permissions just once
when requested, instead of being able to access it permanently.
And you’ll get more control over giving apps
permissions to certain files on your phone instead of giving access to all of
them. It’s a very nice privacy and security change that should make it harder
for apps to just grab your location, your details, or browsing history without
your explicit permission first.
How to Download Android Q Beta
Even though Android Q won’t be out until
October 2019, if you own a Google Pixel device, you can download the Android Q
Beta today. Please understand that this is designed for developers and if you
download it, you may come across bugs and issues. I’d advise to have a backup
device in case things go bad.
To get the Android Q beta, follow the steps
below on your phone.
- Visit developer.android.com/preview/get
- Tap Get Android Q Beta on a Google Pixel device over-the-air
- Scroll down to your eligible
devices and tap opt in
- Your device will now be enrolled
- Wait some time and visit Settings > System > Advanced >
System updates
- Tap to install the update
That’s all there is to it! The update is over
1GB in size, so make sure your phone is plugged in to charge and you have WiFi
enabled.
Summary
That brings us to the end of our overview of
the top Android Q features to look forward to. There are of course many more
features to discover, but this list points out some of the best that we are
currently aware of. Have any questions about Android Q or want to know more
about Beta access? Let me know if you have any questions and I’ll try to help
