“The more you use your phone, the better the experience gets over time. From the new Intuitive Navigation and Recent App, an improved Do Not Disturb mode, and a colorful settings menu, to anticipated longer battery life, revamped split-screen and more, Android P gives you that piece of pie you’ve been longing for”, wrote Motorola in a blog post.
Android 9 Pie brings several improvements and features, ranging from improved battery life to a more intuitive user interface.
Among new features, Android P will bring dual-camera support from the get-go thanks to the new multi-camera API. Google has also added support for High Efficiency Image Format (HEIF) directly into Android P. Now, this essentially allows the OS to compress images more efficiently without affecting the overall quality. Other notable features that’ll arrive with Android P include Notch support as well as a redesigned launcher and notifications panel.
Google has focused on performance and reliability with its latest mobile OS. Android Pie includes a plethora AI-powered features that are designed to make your phone smarter and simplify your digital life.
